Hi, my name is Karl and I'm a modaholic. I've run out of room in my sig to list all the mods. I haven't touched a ratchet in over 32 hours now, but I'm feeling tense and I'm afraid that, by tomorrow morning, I'll be under the car again.

I seek perfection; I find it fun to find an area that could be improved and I love the challenge of doing it myself.

I recently purchased my 6mt coupe after owning a fairly stiff and more noticable 240SX and felt the G lacked some driver feedback so all Im doing is stiffening it up and dropping it, wider wheels and tires, ultimately a lip aero kit, add some NA bolt-ons here and there and call it a day.

Maybe this next winter I will look into what my best options are to go from the OEM 6-disc to some sort of MP3 cd player beit OEM or aftermarket because going from a 20gb Kenwood Music keg to a cd player/cassette SUCKS!!!!

I keep telling my self that if I want something racier I'll get a miata or another 240SX if that makes sense.

My problem is I want the power when i need/want it, but i want the car to be a sleeper. Purely from a hassle, theft standpoint. Putting on the rims, louder exhaust, kits etc attracts more attention from both sides of the law...

People haved worked around this. Some great looking sleeper cars. However the exhaust would be a bit louder due to the extra HP if you go F/I.

Anyway, I can't mod because I have no G, YET. But when I do first thing i am buying is a built shortblock, exhaust, and suspension. Oh man, I don't even want to think about it.

Im the same way, I need to do most of it my self because if I pay someone else thats less money for mods!

Same here I don't even bother with them anymore. It's like ooh your $hit shoots fire out of your exhaust, but at least my car doesn't look like a shopping cart. That's why I'm boosting the G up. That way I can go fast and look cool doing it.

Most likely Jim Wolf unless GTM wants to cook up some crazy custom $hit for my build. I want huge power capability!!!! Cost is gonna be huge, but if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right.

Now my wife is supportive...sometimes! The bumper is probably a thumbs up from her...I showed her some pics and gave her some sad excuse as to why I need a new bumper a year after I just got one put on and she said she would kick in for it! Marriage is all about compromise!

People mod their vehicles to suit their personal taste and needs, budget allowing. Have fun with your future mods.
