Performance mods

Does anyone have ANY company recommendations and good parts to start adding horsepower to an 01 silverado 1500 with a 4.3 and a 5 speed manual trans? I've been looking for a while and other than a turbo kit I'm lost. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Modding a 1991 ford ranger for performance

Hello everyone, I am very new to modding vehicles (ive never done it before), and I am here to ask for help and suggestions. I am (hopefully within this week) going to be buying my first vehicle, a 1991 ford ranger. I have been told that these trucks are going to have a bad mpg, so I have been doing some research to find how I could increase the effectiveness of the engine. My question is should I buy a cold air intake for the truck, or get a 50/50 water methonal injector? What would be more cost effective and what would produce the best results? Is it even worth buying either of these or should I just keep the base engine and deal with refilling my tank often? Are there other alternatives I should know about for increasing mpg? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Beginner here

I just turned 18 and want to get into modding cars but I have no idea where to start, I currently have a 2019 Honda accord hybrid and was wondering if that’s an alright car to get started. I’ve also been looking at certain mustangs too. I’m just curious as to what years and models to look for as well as what certain specs I should aim for in my engine and what not. Anyways, sorry if this post is a little scattered I am excited but also overwhelmed. I’m open to any advice at all for a beginner, Thank You!

Need help

My whole driving life I was in a 2010 Honda accord (which I loved dearly) but did absolutely no work to it. I kept it completely stock and wish I did more to it. A few months ago I got this 2020 m550i and really want to do a few things that would really make it stand apart! The color is something I absolutely love so what aesthetic mods could I throw on that could help compliment it? Please help me make Aqua even prettier 🙇‍♂️

Advice on exhaust

Hi all, I’m completely new to the car scene and don’t know much at all about upgrades and mods etc. I have a W204 Mercedes C-Class and would like to get something louder or “cooler” - something that sounds nice. Would anyone be able to recommend something? Any other mod suggestions to the car itself are welcome! Thank you in advance

Why is it acceptable to turbocharge a mid 2000’s civic but not a Corolla??

I’m planning on getting a new car soon but I already have a 2013 Corolla with about 100k miles. I figured if the engine is healthy why not have a little fun? But everyone I mention it to says I can’t get much extra hp without blowing it up or spending 20k is this true???

Help/questions about POD/Open air filter

Never done any car mods, just want to have some fun with a mod thats cheap, fast, and makes the car sound nicer. Deciding to install an open air filter/ pod filter and just chuck it on the end instead of the box filter. Idm if it loses a couple horsepower. Only thing im concerned about is if its potentially harmfull for the engine? Ive seen people saying it lets hotter air into the engine or filters out less dust which will cause damage over time, or a different amount air intake means the car needs to be adjusted and tuned to the new filter. Others say its fine to just chuck in and sounds good. If some people could clear up if the car will be fine after this mod or if theres anything extra I would need to do, I have no idea 🙃. Thanks.

Should i be concerned?

This is audi a3 2tdi 8p. (320km of mileage) For more than couple months the car started to produce white smoke when car is started and idling. Also this car eats antifreeze like crazy, maybe this has something to do with the white smoke?
