However, there are examples of street rights. The body kit of the AMG CLK63 Black Series allows you to strike 0.96 G sideways in a corner. The Ferrari F12 TDF is also road legal, but the host of modifications, including the wider track and improved aerodynamics, almost doubles downforce, making it two seconds faster than the normal F12 around Fiorano. The concept is not new; Ferrari`s 288 GTO also got a wider kit in the 80s. The safety bar, also known as a bull bar or bumper, is a device installed at the front of a vehicle to protect it from frontal collisions with animals such as deer or cattle. Typically made of carbide pipes, these mods can increase the risk of pedestrian death and injury in the event of an accident. As there are no wild animals on our roads, collision bars are considered illegal and should have no place in a vehicle in Singapore. When it comes to vehicle modifications in Singapore, car owners have certainly limited their options. You can forget about inflated engines and flashy landing gear lights, as these modifications will cause you serious problems with LTA. Unlike car spoilers and bumpers, which have some leeway, these eight modifications are completely illegal on Singaporean roads. Read on to find out what they are. * I think it`s illegal after a few Google searches, but what the hell. * A wide-body kit is a risky and serious investment.

This can affect the resale value of the vehicle and make it impractical for on-road use most of the time, even if it`s technically legal. Many wide-body kits are effectively durable (because you have to cut the back walls); Liberty Walk is an exception. An inferior body kit will be nothing but problems, so it won`t be cheap either. That said, if you can afford something like that and it improves the performance of a car built for it, you`re going crazy. Take some pictures for us! Is the wide-body kit illegal in SG? CAuse I`m trying to customize a body kit for my car so that it looks like the rally version. As a result, the width of each side is lengthened by 45 mm. But I`ve seen a few of these extremely wide body kits on the street. Definitely not legal, but the drivers drive them pretty gung-ho. I wonder if Kena is from LTA before?! NEXT: This is the sickest wide-body muscle car we`ve ever seen As the name suggests, a wide body kit enlarges your car, which has a handful of benefits. First, changing the ratio between length and width can significantly reduce the body`s tendency to roll and its effects, making the car generally less likely to spin in a curve (assuming you push the accelerator to exactly the same level). The wide-body kit also offers the possibility to widen the track (i.e. increase the distance between tires along the axle) and use larger tires.

which improve grip and, in most cases, acceleration. Best of all, a good widebody kit does this without ruining the car`s aerodynamics. With the usual tirade from online automotive evangelists who presented D`s project in a bad light for social justice reasons, among other things, I was happy to be able to take some time out of D`s busy schedule to take a look at its finished product. You will see that all modifications must not “protrude laterally and/or longitudinally from the vehicle body”. Broad body, of course, will not pass this test. I spent over $20,000 on exterior modifications and $20,000 to $30,000 on repair, maintenance and maintenance of any wear and tear. It was super expensive. I also had to replace the damn rubber bands. I tried to buy OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts online myself, but they never worked. Create a new account in our community. It`s simple! If you are mounting a widebody kit, make sure it is a car that you will be driving quickly for a reasonable amount of time. The correct term for a widebody kit is a “ground effects kit”, which refers to its aerodynamic/airflow/downforce characteristics – and anyone who has driven a Caparo T1 can tell you that aerodynamics only come into play at higher speeds.

They`ll also limit your top speed, so make sure it`s not a dragster or V-Max car. The mods I`ve done on the Porsche are mostly for cosmetic purposes – to park it there to look sick! If I remember correctly, here are some of the mods I did: D`s Toyota 86 Spec List Gramm Performance Throttle Body GReddy Supreme SP Catback Exhaust SystemJDL Unequal Length Header Tomei Overpipe Crawford Ticket Power Blocks HKS Short Ram Air Intake Battle Aero Chassis Mount GT Wing Rocket Bunny V3 Kit Air Lift Performance 3H Air Suspension KitPainting by Spray Paint Shop Singapore. RELATED: 8 Cool Photos of Cars You Didn`t Know Looked Good With a Wide Body Kit D`s goal was to make his ride as unique and exceptional as possible while maintaining the JDM perspective of the project. His goal is for people to admire his walk and introduce themselves – for a brief moment – to Japan. As a social media junkie while commuting between work and work, while trying to ignore the sponge of Singaporean essence on the train, my social media newsfeed was covered with photos of friends overseas, food, planes, and cars. Over the past few months, my wall has also taken several photos of D`s custom green Toyota 86 (WIP) when D took his car out of the paint shop to have his wheels assembled. He currently works in an interior design company and takes care of their marketing and digital needs. If you take a look at his Instagram account, which you`ll probably do at the end of this interview, you`ll see that he definitely has a keen eye for design and aesthetics. “If Porsche did that, so be it, don`t touch it,” they will say. The main reason I bought the Porsche Cayman 987 was the Rocket Bunny Pandem body kit. I imagined my car in this kit and all the other mods followed. You must be a member to leave a comment Modifications that serve as a distraction for others, such as horns, are strictly prohibited in Singapore.

Often installed on large semi-trailers, these devices produce extremely loud noise for signalling purposes. If misused, it can scare off drivers, pedestrians and other road users. People are constantly taking pictures of my car as they drive by. Even on the road, drivers tend to give in. One guy even walked past the window with his cell phone. Maybe it`s because of my mods, because it`s definitely different when you`re driving a car designed to be impressionable. People also chased me into parking lots just to start a conversation about my car. We`d say that any vehicle that has a lot more power and torque than it needs would likely benefit from a wide body kit. It would not so much castrate power, but would redirect. For example, the Viper ACR is significantly slower than the SRT-10 — the top speed is 176 miles per hour, up from 206 — but it smokes absolutely as soon as you have to turn the steering wheel.

Like it or not, online haters have neither the right nor the right. Take advantage of other people`s work and ideals or put the money where you are and do something better. Not in cars? Then choose a hobby and take care of your own stuff. A car may simply be a way to get from point A to point B, but it means so much more to the rest of us. I just hope the new owner is just as proud and cared about the car. In Singapore, we tend to think more and more, but sometimes less is more. For example, I have a crazy body kit with an even crazier GT wing. Irregularities, bumps and steep slopes are eliminated by remote control at the touch of a button. Follow Royce Tan and his Porsche Cayman 987 on Instagram for more information. Don`t say sharp edges and corners. But what I want is not. Singaporean vehicles should only be fitted with factory-fitted headlights as standard, as they meet international safety standards.

Using replacement headlights can be dangerous on the road as it can cause unwanted glare. Let`s get in the passenger seat for this exclusive ride with Royce. I owned 2 cars. Before that, I drove a Volkswagen Scirocco. It`s hard for me to pick a favorite, the two mark different milestones in my life. “Not at all,” was D`s answer to the question of whether he regretted anything after all the problems and unwanted fame of the car. He said, “Don`t listen to others tell you what you can and can`t do with your ride. There will always be haters who will tell you that your ride is slow or that your ride looks bad.

It`s your ride, it`s your world. Do what you want and enjoy every state of the process.
