I think I am kind of old for that kind of stuffs too, but then I started late...!  Not that I have rich parents to sponsor me doing mod or my 1st car!  Yet, the good thing is I look forward driving my car everyday, which I think is an important part, since we all spend so much time commute to work everyday.  So far, my daily route isn't too bad, very little traffic, some up/down hills, twisty, and a small part of local hwy to floor =P

PS: I try stick with 10mph+ above speed-limit, but would go faster when cornering..but I wonder when I will loss my fire....!!

$0 other than required maintenance and DIY car detailing. I used to put lots of money into car mods, but now, I am too old for that and am not going to dump money into any depreciating assets.

I'm too old for mods...LOL...too loud or too stiff hurts...

I just want a nice quiet ride...with some power, but not too much that it hurts my wallet when I fill up...heehee

IMO, too much mod is a waste of money (unless you're racing), just buy a better car to start with is smarter.

Hi Shutterbug,

I am sure you would be fine with the right mod.

My exp. is that many people mod. their suspension with cheap lowering springs only , or at most put in some cheap struts.  That's just wrong...!

I invest lots of my time finding the correct suspensions mod. for my STi cuz I know I gonna have a baby on board.  Well...the STi stock suspension actually have pretty harsh ride..!  The coilover I ended up with actually provide better ride quality, and better handling.  It's firm, but not harsh..!

I kind of agree about buying a better car to start is smarter, but I think there is more to it.  It's more important to buy the correct car for the job.

Many of my friends actually drive Lexus, you can tell they have very little interest about driving.  For them, they just want luxery inside, ride quality, reliability to get them from point A to point B.

Traum + Others, wanna share you mod experience.?

Yes, they don't depreciate, since they are getting more and more expensive purses, shoes, jeans...


Edited: you get a lot of trouble in return too :p
