Lol, i was a bit harsh on the topic title...but it seems the more i read the forum, the more knowledgable i become on the car...the more knowledgable i become...the more upgrades i learn about....the more upgrades possible, the more things i want...which will inevitably lead to my bank account being drained...and all my time lost installing things and reading this forum.

its truly a love hate relationship.

You've been on the forum almost 4 years.

If you haven't done the following, I'd say you're in good shape:

1. Sold your S, only to buy another one to replace it after realizing what a horrible mistake you've made.

2. Upgraded more than 5 different vehicle areas (engine, clutch, stereo, differential, etc).

3. Spent more than $10k in mods

4. Only to spend an hour changing your own oil to save $10 (the official line is "I don't trust anyone with my car")

5. Have spent so many hours on the site that if you were paid $5 / hr for all the time surfing, you could have bought a Porsche instead....

6. Still wouldn't have it any other way.

I won't tell you how many of the above I'm guilty of.

Still on my first S2k...

I find it really bad when people change the same mod over and over (most common on wheels, exhaust or body kit, etc.) in a short period of time. Finish the car first and then replace the parts that didn't work as expected, damn it!
