    Re: 2006: A year in mods

    well.. first of all I bought my car!
    then:
    rrrreally good tune-up,
    replaced front bushings,
    replaced radiator,
    installed stereo and two amps (which was totally ridiculous, and pointless 'cause I never crank it up!)
    replaced backpipe,
    cut out a lot of rust, (if you can call that a mod...oh well)
    rustproofed my car
    installed JDM corners,
    installed JDM armrest,
    put on new tires,
    installed new foglights,
    installed SE-i cupholders,
    put in some blue vision lights,
    and drove over 20,000 kilometers since februari

    guess that's about it...
