What are your plans for this car...

Just wanted to get an idea of where everyone is headed for the future of their car. I mean oh course we buy a mod here and a mod there. But is it social modding or do you really have a goal to reach. I mean you should have some type of game plan. We sit here and spend 300 here and 300 there and next thing you know we've spent thousands on mods that really don't do much. Like....pedals....those aluminum pedals I ordered are definiltely not gonna make my car go faster!!! LOL Because it's cosmetic. What direction is everyone headed? All show no go? Give me 700rwhp and you have my doors? Or a little of both? Who's gonna stay N/A? Who's planning to go FI route?

personally i think the z tube and k&n filter will be the only mods i will do for a while. i'd like to hear the pop charger before i think about putting one in...but the rest of my money (pending raises) is spoken for.

Little things to keep me happy (not bored) for the near future. FI if I decide to keep the car after its paid off rather than getting a GTR or M3, and I've done bigger things in life like marriage, house, college fund, etc.

I have been looking into the stroker kit. But at the price tag of 8k its really not that important right now. But I'll be saving money for it. I will be staying N/A. If I really want a turbo car I'll buy a 240 and drop a huge turbo for real cheap. I just want to build the engine up a little. If possible I'd like to fit the FX45 engine into this car and call it a day. But I doubt I'll be going with any bodykit. Because I'd still like to drive it to work without getting funny looks.

If I didn't buy this car a year ago....I would've had a townhouse by now. But plans have changed. I have a good amount saved for the downpayment. Just need a bit more and I can proceed.

I'm done modding after the springs, DVD conversion, exhaust & possibly a remap of ECU. That will keep me a few car lengths ahead of other G's and be able to keep up with some of our closer competitors And hopefully be running high 13's at the track. So more show and a little more go.

Compared to my Integra I had this thing is pretty fast (even when I was using NOS). I will be getting the skyline in 07 if it comes out with the right look & is turbo'd. If not, I'll probably buy the a new 06 or 07 G and TT it, M3, or the new Supra if I could afford it.
