Nothing. Realized at this point in my life its stupid to waste more and more money in my car. Also the fact it'd cost me over $20k to get my car where id want it to be is discouraging. So rather than waste on a car my goal is to invest in a condo since prices are so low. And maybe when i get into law school, if i get a good scholarship, ill buy a new luxury car.
yeah, I feel the same way. I am kinda tired of spending a lot of money on the car, but its like a drug too, I love it just as much as i hate it. I just wont be happy until I have a very fast car and I love the S and its now paid off so I figured I might as well finish what I started

The build is taking me longer than I had planned because one thing i wont do is get into debt because of this modding bug.

I spent $510.00 yesterday on two wastegates, it's sickening

Finally get my Vortech kit in within the next month, summer time hopefully get AEM EMS and a 12.5 lb pulley in.
Also been thinking of getting rear over fenders and wider front fenders and some different low offset wheels. Oh also need a new convertible top. Mine already tore and now two nights ago the plastic window cracked.

were trying to buy a nice house this year so I really can't spend too much, but I am planning on gettin a custom minitoyota exhaust and hopefully some wide 17 x 9 or 10 with some nice sticky rubber to go on them......hjopefully will get the new 949 racing wheels when they come out

but down the road I have some serious work to do:
-cf hardtop
-coilovers
-big wing
-front and rear air diffusers
-cf trunk
-cf hood
-cf mirrors
-interior suede with red stripes
-racing seats
-racing steering wheel
-diff
-Mcintosh amp and focal speakers

I will probably break the above purchases out over several years to try and justify the retarted amount of money that I plan on wasting on this car, but in the end I plan on keeping my S for many many years so it's worth it

yup, now that I'm working, I'm saving for a house. The s2000 is on the backburner with most of my hobbies.

Damn it well wasn't planning on a hardtop but just put a deposit down on a new Mugen replica hardtop with hardware brand new sale from a new sponsor for $999. Couldn't pass up the deal including hardware.
Will be nice to have anyways since I am moving back up to NY anyways. At least for next winter!

Good man. That should be on everyones top priority rather than modding a car. Investing in something that appreciates, not depreciates.
