Modding at a glacial pace
After having the car for 3 years, I've actually done something besides wash it and change the oil. 
I bought some TT wheels last winter from a guy at Supraforums and polished the heck out of them, and put on Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.
Thanks to the advice in this forum I put on 275/40-17's and 245/45-17's and I couldn't be happier.
I put on new OEM shocks last year and it still is on the original springs. Was thinking about lowering it, but it doesn't look too bad the way it sits now.
I look forward to driving in the rain now, the tires have incredible grip, no hydro-planing at all
I think the next mod will be the the X-pipe and removal of the resonators and/or a torque converter. The transmission drives me nuts at road courses and track days, but it is perfect for normal driving.
Thanks to all who have helped in the past.
122,000 miles and going strong!

Looks great! 
I love ren red, it was actually my first color choice when I was purchasing my SC 4 years ago..It's very elegant and sporty at the same time..Nice polish wheels..The car looks mint..

and you need some 20 percent tint all around (except windshield of course) it made my 96 ren red sc look 10x cleaner and better!
