Nope. I got way more mods than you. Not even gonna try and list them all...

Oh... :Q

SWEEET ride mang!

I'm betting that's NOT your daily driver though!
Thanks, no it's not my daily driver. It doesn't go out in the snow. It's on jackstands right now, with a few more mods being added over the winter . But it definitely is not a trailer queen, it gets driven regularly over the summer.

edit: My daily drivers are a moderately modded 2000 BMW 323Ci and a lightly modded 2000 BMW 528i, depending on whether I need 2 doors or 4 for the mission at hand

more and more mods each time....

I had a 300HP or more 1966 Mustang GT

400HP 1988 GT

1997 GTI VR6...minor engine mods, full race suspension....cornered at over 1g

1996 Saturn SC2 that I have done about everything I could too, mostly for practice on my next car which will be a 'real' car.

1997 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer with my dad (he paid I planned ) 450HP and about 450TQ...5000lb vehicle that can light the tires up with an automatic from a 5mph start even

tons of friends cars....not so bad now but about 5-10years ago every weekend I'd get the calls to 'help' them install whatever boltons they bought. Help in this case means me work and them handing tools and beer

winning every 1/4 mile isn't what's important to me, there is alway going to be some weekend warrior with a <10sec car cruising that you may end up meeting...I like a fun to drive vehicle, punch it into a turn, fly down an off-ramp, smoke the old guy in his close to 6 figure car that's trying to race when your not :evil:. My next car though will be a 12-13sec street car...although capable of 10-11's....those 2 secs you gain start getting expensive If you can drive a 14sec car can dust most of what's out there easy.

During this build up I want to take some welding classes to make myself really dangerous with tools.

Only real mods are a factory-style spoiler, and the ICE system (see sig)

Where does window tint fall? For me a car is primarily for going from A -> B. No need for lots of mods.

The mods on my WRX are finally beginning (after ~10 months of ownership).

I had Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and KYB AGX struts put on recently. Handling and ride are vastly improved. 17" wheels/tires, exhaust, rear sway bar, engine tuning, and some minor cosmetic mods (body-colored side skirts and splash guards) should all be on by late this spring. That's probably all I'll do.

No mods, except I upgraded the stereo.
To me, a car is just a transportation tool that gets me from point A to point B, to goto work, or scool and going home with little more comfort than public transportation. No matter how fast you make it out to be, you are still bounded by the road condtions ahead of you. My econobox accord is just as fast as your riced up civic during rush hour traffic. Not that Im saying your riced out civic is any faster anyways even if there was no traffic.
