Modified Car Auctions UK - Top 5 Modified UK Cars

Top Five Modified Cars

The hottest fashion to hit the UK's streets is not what people are wearing but what they're driving. What makes cars like the Nissan Skyline GTR and the Toyota Supra two of the top five cars to be modified? What are the most popular ways to modify these cars? Let's take a look at the why and the how to get a better understanding of these cars.


The Nissan Skyline GTR:

This Japanese car was made for speed. Nicknamed the Godzilla of cars, this sports coupe is comparable to big names like Porsche 911 and Ferrari but is affordable at half the price. Not only is it popular in the UK, but it is the most popular car for street racing in Japan. It once was illegal in streets like the UK and America for its superb speed that can easily outrun a cop. It was eventually made legal but needed to be modified by adding weight to it in order to make sure that scenario does not happen. The most popular ways this car is modified is usually concentrated on what’s under the hood. One popular trend that owners of the Godzilla like doing is to add an Intake on this vehicle, which can help you speed without having your engine overheat.


The Modified Toyota Supra Sale:

Another one that comes straight from Japan, this car was once declared the sports car of the year in 2005. Popular for its efficiency and its speed, the Toyota Supra is used mostly for racing. Both the Nissan Skyline GTR and the Toyota Supra are considered hard-to-find cars since they are in high demand and popular especially among the youth. Like the Nissan Skyline GTR, people tend to add an Intake in order to make sure they can speed without overheating the engine of the car. Yet another popular item people like adding to these cars is a Nitrous which adds an extra “push” when you drive.


The Mitsubishi Evo:

A hot Japanese car that became popular overnight thanks to the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift." Made great for drifting, this car can reach a speed that can’t be compared to others out on the market. What makes this car unique is that it has a lot of horsepower when you compare it to others that are at the same level. Even though its horsepower is great, the number one modifying item that is popular for this car is the Super Charge. What that does is allow car owners to insert a chip inside the engine to add even more horsepower to the vehicle.


Citroen Saxo:

When this French supermini hit the market, it was criticized for being too conservative. But that didn't stop the makers of the Saxo from changing and modifying it throughout the decades. Over the years, the makers made changes to the trim levels along with engine changes which made it bounce back and be a hit car among the European crowd. Because of this, the number one change that owners make to this vehicle focuses on appearance. Body kits are considered the top priority when it comes to this vehicle.


Fiat Punto:

This Italian supermini was once voted car of the year in '95. This little treasure can range 59 hp to 130 hp. It can go from 0 to 100 km in less than 9 seconds. With its fast speed and ultra retro look, people don’t like changing an already good thing. Instead of appearance changes, people with this type of car love adding Twin Turbo. Twin Turbo allows you to use air instead of gas in order to reach the limit with this car. Saving your gas when you speed with this puppy is a big deal for Fiat Punto owners.

The Citroën ZX is a small family car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1991 and 1998.

During the 1990s, the ZX was Citroën's competitor in the class, traditionally dominated in Europe by the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf, a market segment Citroën had moved away from when the GSA was replaced with the BX ten years earlier. The BX had tried to address the small family car market and the large family car market by being 'between sizes' but well packaged. The Citroën ZX chassis was also used for the Peugeot 306 in 1993, which with its attractive Peugeot 205 derived styling, was a more successful car than its twin. The Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner were also built on the same platform. European production and sales of the ZX ceased in 1998 with the arrival of the replacement Citroën Xsara.

A saloon derivative called the Citroën Elysée continued to be produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture with the PSA Group.

Citroën ZX Break/Estate
Citroën ZX 2/3 doorThe ZX's interior space and value received praise from critics and consumers. Of particular note was the rear seat arrangement; it was mounted on a sliding platform that allowed the seat to be moved rearwards to increase rear legroom, or forwards to increase cargo space. Unfortunately, only the seat backs folded down on models so fitted. Lower specification models with fully folding and removable seats had more ultimate capacity. The ZX specification was good for its class, with most models getting power steering, electric windows, electric sunroof, a driver's side (and sometimes passenger's side) airbag and anti-lock braking system as either optional or standard equipment.

However, the ZX was criticised for the lack of quality feel, particularly in the interior plastics and body panels - (the thin side panels were prone to pick up supermarket car park trolly dents), and also the easily worn fabrics in low spec models, in comparison with rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf. It was competitively priced though, unlike the Golf, which was priced at a premium. Although the diesel engines were very durable (with many examples clocking up 400,000 kilometers with only routine servicing) the gasoline engines did receive some criticism for their unreliability. The ZX's styling though it had similarities to the Bertone designed XM, (especially in estate form), was also disliked by many Citroën enthusiasts, who saw it as far too conservative and bland from a company previously known for its bold and advanced design (DS, CX, BX, XM).

The familiar range of PSA powertrains drove the front wheels of a seemingly conventionally designed chassis. At the front was a standard McPherson strut layout with anti-roll bar, while the rear used a semi-independent trailing arm/torsion bar set up. However, PSA's chassis engineers employed some unusual features, including passive rear wheel steering (by means of specially designed compliance bushes in the rear suspension), and in-house developed and constructed shock absorbers. The diesel and larger capacity petrol engines are canted as far back as possible in the engine bay in an effort to put as much weight as possible behind the front axle line, improving weight distribution, and minimising understeer. The ZX/306 was widely regarded as the best handling small family car of its time, until the arrival of the Ford Focus.

At the time of its launch, the ZX range consisted of a collection of four very individual trim levels - the base model was the "Reflex" aimed at young people, next was the "Avantage" aimed at families and then there was the luxury "Aura" series. The final series was the relatively sporting "Volcane" series, with lowered (and very hard) suspension. The "Volcane" TD was one of the first diesel hot-hatches. Over time, further models were introduced including the "Furio" - a cheaper sports model, a 16-valve-engined high performance derivative and many special editions.

It was offered with petrol engines from 1.1 L to 2.0 L, as well as three 1.9 L diesel engines including a highly rated turbodiesel, which was one of the best diesel engines in its class.
