I started off with a black del sol... i think it just had intake, wires, muffler, and rims. Then got a 350z orange del sol, swapped the rims over, and bought a turbo kit but didn't get around to putting it on. (just sold it this week) Also had a 93 mx6 at the same time that got totalled, and a 95 TSi AWD that i'm selling now to get my SC.

82 RX-7. I put a turbo sticker on the back and fooled the hell out of everyone. This was before Mazda even had a real turbo 7. I had guys chasing me down left and right trying to find out the secrets of my mods.

The SC430, & then the G35c, & I blame joining CL too.
All my former cars, Accord,Prelude, TL, CL-S are just not "good" (exiting) enough for me to deem worthy of spending extra money on it.
As much as I love cars, it's still a depreciating asset & not an investment, modding just makes it worse in terms of burning money, so I won't do too much of it.
I don't have unlimited access to play money & I do have other hobbies & priorities like investing too. I do credit myself of spending the time here watching some of you do things to your cars & I am able to resist the temptations , the fact that mods are less accessible & affordable up here helps too.

wow gsing, got pics of the supra? didn't know you got that, i thought it's just the itr

and andrew, you are so right. i had my tl-s and didn't really know what else to do. wasn't too interested in modding that car at all, that's why i stopped even before i got my gs4. the gs4 totally opened up my views on car mods

I put a stereo in my 95 Nissan pickup. Then my 00 Durango I did a front bumper and grille from stillen. I lowered it 3" all around with DJM suspension. Then I did a custom two tone leather interior that matched the exterior. I also had an alpine in dash tv and alpine tvs in the headrest. Some JL subs and Xtant amps and flowmaster exhaust. Then I bought a Kenne bell SC for it and decided to sell the whole thing and get a GS. I am so glad I did

Mine was a 1967 Chevy Impala ss396. Put on 427 heads with a Isky full race cam and a 4.56 rear end. One of the quickest cars I ever owned!!

its an MKIII supra not the MKIV, i got lots of pixs but there on 35mm film, didnt own a digital back in 99, i'll look for it and scan it for you, i had the integra and modded too but i totalled it, 80% of the aftermarket parts were brand new too from full supension to bbk.
