By the way, don't want to ruin it for you, but you'll get used to these mods very quickly and it won't be enough. I learned the hard way that I should have went turbo right away, instead of spending thousands on bolt-ons and tune. Now I can't afford to continue my turbo build, maybe I would have if I didn't spend my money on the other crap lol

Countless number of people will back this up. Do it right, right away... go FI

Dude I'm 21, I bought the car myself 2 years ago and said, "I won't mod it, just little things here and there" 6 months later I have every bolt on and reflash, and it's NOT enough! I bought a lot of the mods used also

lol yeah I can totally relate. I owned a heavily modded 99 civic SI before and it was so modded out I had a different problem every week.

At 19, bought the G as a "performance somewhat baller car that I will never mod" I thought to myself there isn't a thing I could do to it! Fast forward 4 years later.......10k+ in mods down the the hole

Even after the stock block TT install my car didn't seem that fast after 6 months. Now it still feels fast.

+1 to that. I bought some wheels..tires. Said I'm done, but I may buy a hood and some springs. 5 months later I was planning a trip to Cali for my TT and suspension. A year 1/2 later I have a built trans, TT, on my 2nd set of suspension that I'm waiting to install, BBK, and will be doing a motor soon.....it doesn't end.
