It got me...

The mod bug got me.

My storys a little different though. I currently am shopping for a evo ix, trying to find something as close to stock with low miles for a good price. With that being said, I just orderd a v1 and some gagues. I have already ordered a few other things including, a 3mm bra, a shorty tenna and a SE lip.

Now the bad part. I already got my mind on a green and a 2.3 stroker kit.

You guys were not joking with this mod bug, where does it stop?!?!?!

If there was only an immunization to protect against the mod bug. LOL. I have a full raging case of the mod bug and it has no end in sight.

My advice, try and find a car that already has these modifications and is modified correctly. Just test drive, make sure it shifts smooth and do a compression test. Comp testers are cheap and are worth every penny.

I would put the time and energy you are wasting mod shopping into locating a car.

I had this discussion with Tamer (4wstuning.com) a few days ago. When I first talked to him on AIM, it was like this: "Hi, I'm Ales and I just want a few basic bolt-ons and a tune". We're at "DP,testpipe,intake,apexi avc-r,walbro" and talking about cams and meth atm.

It doesn't stop. Your car will be a rocket sooner or later, like it or not.

LMAO! Yea we did..... so much for just an Intake =-p lol

My word of advice.... don't go cheap with anything! spend top dollar so you dont have to worry about anything failing and dont have to go through the trouble of doing it over.

Cheers!
