[Kafziel]

Well, I bought mine brand new w/ 6 miles on the odometer, so I didn't do a damn thing to it for about 5 years except putting a bra on it and a steering whell cover. Once I paid it off, I started replacing some stuff that looked shitty (for instance, I had spilled some epoxy on the center console and in the cup holder, so I replaced them). Then one day my muffler went to shit. I decided to replace the cat-back with a bigger pipe. Then I got a crack in the exhaust manifold, so I bought a header. By then, I was on a roll. New intake, spark plugs, rims (still 14", but wider tires) rotors and pads, drums and shoes (I like my drum brakes - they give the car character), shocks and coilovers... and so on and so on.
I'll never swap out the engine (until it drops dead, and then I'll put another D16 in it). I have no plans to win any races or auto shows, but I've had a lot of fun keeping it looking and running good.
