I've sorta hit the wall with mods atm. Everytime i get enough to buy another mod something else happens like bills, gf's birthday and general spending here and there.

To Do List:
Brake upgrade which results in new wheels as well.
High lift cams
Re spray bonnet, side skirts and new front bar.

FPR will be here next week, so im slowly moving along but in no rush

set of para's is all i need to finish off my car ... i've done everything else i set out to do plus i've spent more than the car is worth with the mods i put on


all the mods are insured for more than market value of the car :neutral:

Almost all my (performance) mods to-date have been a waste of money as they will not be compatible with planned future modification (exceptions being the emanage, RPW plennum & Rising Rate FPR).

Should be taking delivery of a package containing the two most important parts of my next modification today. Will hopefully post pics tonight :badgrin: .

I have so much I WANT to do, but given my current income, things are moving along so slow.

Done:
Strut Brace
Lukey Muffler + some random piping

So..bugger all.
However in my bedroom right now are some KYB shocks and King Springs (which are going in friday)

Im hopeing within the next 12 months though, do to the following:

Replace entire exhaust system and get an X-Force muffler (not satasfied with the lukey...its good...but not good enough)

Pacemaker Extractors (will probably be one of my next mods)

New Rims (Would like a nice set of black 17" rims)

Spoiler

RPW Intake Manifold with Ram Tubes + Aftermarket ECU

So yeah...abit to do. And it will get done, just not at the rate I was wanting.
