When did you start modding your 8?
Talking about mods that aren't purely cosmetic- when did you start messing with the engine/exhaust/brake lines/etc...

I have already started purchasing suspension stuff for a car, I don't even have yet. Once I sell my Evo, then I will pick up a used RX to start with.

I started modding mine a month before I bought it! I already had suspension components in my garage waiting for the purchase.

That would have been smart. I tried to edit one in afterwards, but I guess you can't change the options once a poll is posted (understandable).

bought my car oct.2005 and I have about 3,900 miles, so far I just have a sound system and tinted windows. I must say the mod bug is hitting me pretty hard, but I most avoid it I've got a wedding and future house payments to plan for. However I do want to buy just one more toy for my baby before I get married and I'm still debating on what that is. So far what I got in mind is a: turbo xs exhaust, tein h-tech springs w/ shocks or an alarm system.
