This must be the most insane/stupid question I've ever asked:

Can anybody tell me how I can modify this:
'90 Astro

Only change is the seats and body paint.

... and has '97 tires.

To something like this:
'94 Astro
user posted image

Slightly customized(?) and adjusted parts(?)

But better?

Yeah the 2nd van looks a lot better. I wont be able to help you sorry but I would do some external changes just like that van Change the tires / rims and probably a carbon fiber hood... Maybe it would look good since its a panda color.. ANything black would stand out just like the tires do.

The rest to Engine tuning I really dont know sad.gif sorry

Get some aggressive fitment wheels on it, and Slam it with stretched tires. Stock body is fine.

cheap easy stuff:

maybe remove the grille/headlight trim and rattle can it gloss black

detail the car?

I wouldn't bother modding it, keep it stock.
Do a tuneup, oil change, etc.

expensive hard stuff:
replace the shocks with high spec ones
wack in a roll cage
and turbo that baby up!

thats always a good way to make a van more extreme.
i've always wanted a van like this but alas i am to poor.

moving on, i say it damn good as it is now, maybe add a carbon hood like that knight guy said, either way it'd be really cool to have a van that could out perform most of the cars on the road, cause nobody suspects a van to be faster than them. grin2.gif fear2.gif

Do it up like the Kei Vans I see when I go back biggrin.gif Don't bother with performance, make it look baller biggrin.gif It may not appeal to you but this is what its like to go to a car meet in Japan in the major cities, Kei Vans and Cars all looking like this, (Contrary to the obvious, there aren't THAT many "JDM" cars ie Raceday, drift pigs around the cities much, they're normally out rural areas than suburban, the suburbs and cities are dominated by Kei cars, most are modified like ViP cars tongue.gif) Its actually fun and appealing biggrin.gif

Basically like ViP but for Vans, I love the ViP scene, its down right sexy when its right biggrin.gif

just install new tires and rims i recommend the American muscle types. Do not put any types of body kits or any more external body modifications besides the paint(maybe a dark blue).

well if money isn't a problem do a V8 swap into your van
all you need is the engine and motor mounts

maybe some better tires/wheels?

Wow, thanks, guys. I'll think about some of these.... all I need is money($$$$).

My dad owns a Dodge Tradesman. Rebuilt it 3 times and built it into a hot rod. Has around 400hp. If he decides to give it to me, I'll show you a pic of it.


He gave it a tuck-in also.
