What was the first ever mod you did? We're talking first cars here, not your current car and I think it will be interesting to see where we all started.
I installed a panel filter! Woop Woop!

I did 2 at the same time, I put an induction kit on my 306 and tweaked the diesel pump and turbo, needless to say I was running rings around my mates cars, I was well pleased with myself

Brakes(entire system) and suspension(complete) on a 1978 Datsun 200SX. I like to be able to handle and stop before I go for power.

Was an easy mod that had been tried and tested many times before, I'm only 22 now and did it when I was 18, not long ago. Plus I'm a big car fan anyways so I understand all that stuff....

Upgrading a entire brake and suspension and exhaust system in one go together with slightly silver/gunmetal mirror effect tinted windows over ten years ago on 1999 BMW 740i.
It wasn't my first car, but first one which I actually tunned....well, I paid for doing it and played a roll of a little helper

Used to be able to. Now it is a minimal of 16 but no passengers for 1 year. Can still get an agricultural license at 14 but that only allows you do drive tractors and farm equipment to and from the fields.

I used to festoon the front of my Marinas and Cavaliers with extra lighting. I was 18 and had no idea what relays where so when I switched them all on the fuse would always blow. Then I'd stick wider tyres on but had no idea about aspect ratio so completely change the gearing and ride height.
