They define nearly every aspect of my personality, those I associate myself with, and most of all my life as a whole.
There are people who don't understand us (by us I mean die hard automotive enthusiests), and how we can find so much joy and passion in a thing that should only "get you from point A to point B"... but to me the time I've spent between those two points has defined me and made me grow up to be the man I am today and I would have it absolutely no other way.

Performance (on the car):
1 3/4 QTP's and QTP catted y: $1325
GMMG catback: $725
Slp lid:$95
Holley filter: $50
SLP smooth bellows: $50 (OK appearance )
BG ram air: $245
Performance (sitting in my extra bedroom)
PRC stg 2.5 heads: $1600
FMS f13: $400
Harland sharp rockers: $300
ASP underdrive pulley: $200
Rollmaster Double: $95
FAST 90/90: $1200
Jarrod's short stick: $25 (best mod for the money)
Suspension
Global west SFC's: $185
Spohn TA: $300
BMR LCA's: $130
BMR adj PHR: $120
Appearance

Rear SS inserts: $60
CETA rear filler + WS6 badge: $150
Just under 8G and still need a tune, a clutch and a real rear end, but that's why I bought the car, it doesn't have anything to do with impressing anybody or feeling better about myself, this is what I enjoy doing and I'm willing to pay for it.

paid -get this- $11500 for the car with ~24K miles and not a scratch or problem(beside the clutch hydraulics needing to be bled) & car came with a tune, SPEC ST3, 4.11s, and decent street tires. Cleanest around.....bought at a auction/big sale.
The total with car comes to just over $17K(lol thats what I paid for my brand new Honda Civic EX!) Thats including maintenance, repairs, etc and a lot of times fixed things that werent broken(ie, replaced 02 sensors when they only had 24K miles, etc)
That includes Mods in sig + LQ9 shortblock, aluminum LQ4/LQ9 heads, cam, chromemoly pushrods, dual spring kit etc on the way. Not too shabby for ~$17K!
I was prepared to spend $17 on just the car when I bought it...just was in the right place at the right time, and I also bought it cash so I ended up getting a faaar better deal than I imagined. Bargaining is your friend.
