What are your plans???
What are you guys' future plans for your cars? Performance mods? Appearance mods?
Next thing I'm doing is a 2.5in cowl hood, then a throttle body(hopefully I can pick up a little low end power that I lost with my CAI/tune)
EDIT: speaking of a hood, Midnight, can you post some different pics of yours?

The only other exterior mods I'm planning is just lowering it.
Other than that just exhaust mods are planned. Nothing too crazy, just a nice clean cruiser with enough power to have fun cruising it.

Well, at least it would be a slight step up from the V6'er.

Not a V6, it has a 2.3L 4 Cylinder from an 88 LX.

I've got mine close to how I want it now, so likely just a blower (probably go with a Procharger since these cars love to rev), and at some point I'm going to replace the trans with a T56 swap. Other than that, just appearance stuff as I find things I like.

Don't really have much planned for my car for awhile (once I get it). I have a Barton v2 bracket and JHR clutch line on order from LRS right now. Probably some FRPP K springs after that. Then for my birthday I will probably buy myself the FRPP Power Pack because I like the peace of mid it retains a warranty with it. Then a MGW shifter and some appearance stuff here and there. Of course, I need to grow a money tree first.

So far all I've done is a tune by Truestreet, K&N, GT500A/B and Jeg's Cat deletes. I'm tempted to buy a CAI, but I'm trying to resist buying things that aren't part of my longterm goals. I've been saying a wanted to put a KB2.8LC on it, but I'm starting to look pretty seriously at Hellion's new twin setup. I LOVE the sound of BOV's and turbos just make power SO efficiently. The only thing that has me a little apprehensive is the underhood heat. My turbo fox generated so much heat under the hood it would melt anything within 6" of the hotside! I think it may have had uncharacteristically high EGT's though so maybe I'm worrying over nothing. I'd like to see a turbo'd '12 in person before I make up my mind. I also need to figure out how hard it is to change the oil pump gear as that seems to be a major weak link from what I've read.
