Okay, just when you think you're done.

I'm drawing a close to my go-go mods for a while once I finalize this deal on my Y pipe and get some Jet Hot's. But the steering/handling in my car sucks. I'm going to have to upgrade my suspension some more. I think I may have a bent component or two from the previous owner. I'm going to paint it too when I am closer to being DONE w/the upgrades, but that's free for me and I enjoy doing autobody work.

With my mods installed, I should cut about 7-8 tenths off the quarter mile time, a full second if I put some DR's on. Part of me can't wait, part of me is getting a little burnt out from all the hunting to get cheap parts. I'm sure I'll get my enthusiasm back when I get all the work done.

Does anyone else feel like I do? You do one thing and another and just keep going? Is there any end in sight to "mod fever"?

On a lighter note, my order from Thunder should be waiting for me when I get home.

I suffer from a crippling case of mod fever. She said no more, so now I have to find creative ways to get them, hookups on the Site, stuff that has been laying around waiting to be installed....

My fever just started since I can finally afford to get stuff for my car. Cingular has been very good to me. Right now I'm thinking of dropping around 1400 for my exhaust sytem. I think that after that, anything cheaper than that will feel like nothing. =p My rims that I want will cost around 1100. So yeah, my fever is pretty high right now.

Plus, I would like to start on saving up for a 69 camaro z/28 so I can work on that. But that will be put on hold til next year.

I'll be in well into the twelves next month or two. Got one helacious install! I should do a writeup on all of it. Headers and Y=550, TC=380, plugs/wires/trans cooler/thermostat=180 so far, need to buy still: sims, header bolts, gallons of tranny fluid, tranny filter, tune or LS1edit so I can just do it my damnself. Oh yeah, better buy a helmet so I don't get kicked out of the track. I was a half sec. into needing a helmet to race anywayz.
