Split has a split personality. He even said he is very tempted to mod. Hypocrite much?

interesting observation... I'm not sure how high you are - but it would be interesting to see the civics you mention for reference... since it was the 90s I'm sure there are tons of 'em you can post... of course all the ones I've seen don't look anything like the link above, so I cant go search myself. But it would be great if you could show us

Be careful with your stereotypes G. I'm 47 and set aside a 'mod budget' every month. We have a lot of members in their late 50s and 40s on here who love to mod and seem to be very open minded on a lot of topics.

I thought you were older than most members here. You've got a lot to learn about life my misguided friend.

You made a similar comment but used a GT-R as a reference. Do you honestly think you'd spend upwards of $60K on mods to get it the way you wanted? Used G35: $20K-ish. New GT-R/911: $80K minimum. 2011 911 Turbo: $134K stock.

I've had LEDs in for over a year without a single failure, and my non-stock intake not only produces more power, but runs cooler than stock. You can buy cheap LEDs that burn out, and you can buy certain intakes that match the one you described, but only an idiot would do that. You seem to equate all items from a mod group with the worst item from that group. Some LEDs burn out so ALL LEDs burn out. Some intakes increase heat soak so ALL non-stock intakes increase heat soak. Some suspension drops make the car unusable so ANY suspension drop is bad. You've shown in multiple posts now that you simply don't know what you're talking about. I think G2FLIP4 described you perfectly.

EDIT: I'm 44 and have a mild suspension drop (Coupe F/Sedan Sport R) and a brake upgrade (OEM 05+) sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. Age is how you feel, and you sound old and crotchety.

3 years with the G here. Still bone stock besides tint and JDM battery cover. Might be getting an oil catch can and that would be it. If I can manage to find a spot under the hood, I'll get a black one. Nothing flashy.
