why do you modify?
There's just certain areas of the car that lack. By modifying, i'm making the car how i want exactly!
Example, stock radio sux, had to replace. Car too high, lowered it! Car too quiet, got an intake!
I'm really trying hard not to go crazy on this car. Gotta save for a house. But seeing so many parts on this site (ex. amuse r1 bumper), makes me drool all over again!!!!

Interesting topic:
OEM from lip > looks, down force?
Invidia Cat Back > weight saving, cheap, 3 hp, looks and sound
CF radiator plate > cooling, perforamnce
CF strut bar > tighter handling (Auto X)
Soon to come:
Mugen header > low down torque increase
Mugen SS wing> down force (Auto X, track), looks
Sound system > daily driver and want a decent system!
Grounding wires > supposed to help!, looks
Much later:
CF Hood and boot > weight saving and looks
Rims > weight saving, looks
Suspension > handling
A lot to look forward to. As someone else said, it's like driving a brand new car everytime you add something! Can't live without it!

Mods are in my sig. I do it just to be a little different. Alot has to do from peer pressure from friends on how slow my car was. So I had to go FI to shut them up. Those BASTARDS! Its an addiction. Once you mod, you can't stop.
I want to hear the music, and I want my wife to ride with me. I also have no need for mods that don't enhance performance. That is why I have the Chipperman soundproof kit. The ride is nice and tolerable.
Now, you young guys won't get this, but if the car was as quiet as an electric motor, I'd been in heaven, going along in stealth mode.

I remember both of them intimately
Bieg was not an enthusiast, he was a crazed zealot. Amazing how we can have a 2 page topic on this subject without some idiot telling everyone their wrong and their way is the only way. Imagine that
Vive la difference I say.
Congrats to everyone on enjoying their cars however served

(There you go, fixed that for ya.)
Current mods:
60-1 turbo @ 8psi for go
18" OZ Superleggera's for show
That is it at the moment.
Upcoming mods include:
Water injection (more go)
Pulleys (more go)
New front bumper (more show)
CF hood (more show)
once I get the bumper and hood put on, I am done in the "show" department. After that, I will most likely be looking at performance mods only (brakes and whatnot).
