Mods to come....
Finally decided, I don't want to sell my car right away...so its time to Mod.
Since I don't have a small fortune or a golden child to give away, I cannot afford to get any more power in my 12 valve, so I'm going with handling and looks....
Springs and shocks on the way in a few weeks, ordering OEM Polished tips this afternoon. Thinking about 17" wheels, but DAMN they are expensive. Oh, and for the heck of it, I may pick up a K&N drop in filter....yeah, I know, theres no performance gain, but it will breathe better and be easier for me to clean.

Good price...but even if I do go with 17s, I 'm waiting a few months
The Wallet has to recover 
...I've spent a ton of money in the last few months....without even touching the car.

unbolting... taking to a machine shop... bring your gasket as well and they will widen to the size
of the gasket.. so you get increased air flow releasing... and you pay them.. and put them back in.. and get a few ponies right there.

I need new suspension, but I'm having a difficult time justifying throwing another $1K into this car
