Question What should be my next mod?

I see all the nOObs and what not asking this question, so I'm just curious what do you guys think is the enxt mod I should do. The engine/turbo build is held off until further notice due to the accident. Plus deals on blocks fell through bad. So anyother recommendations? I think I've done it all in the way of bolt ons. Where should I go now? I did want the suspension/rims done by fall, but again that's held off, probably till next spring. What else is there?

I just did a pretty large weight reduction this week too.

Re: What should be my next mod?

That would be pretty sweet. You could run your MS off that david. I would just save up and do suspention. It makes so much of a difference in the way the car handles.

For suspension and 2g AWD front calipers.

Re: What should be my next mod?

If I wanted to do the computer in the car I sure could. I've got spare laptops laying around, some in pieces. Would be a piece of cake. But no.

Looks like I'll just be done for this year with modding. Which is good considering I want to save up and move out next summer (please for the love of god). I guess that's a good thing though. Suspension looks like it may happen in spring (depending on the moving thing). We'll see.

On a side note I got my bumper in today! I'll be driving around all primed and shit.

VIP bumper baby...at least hondas think so lawl.

You don't really need a laptop in a car you can get some mini or flex atx cases and boards and toss one under the passanger seat then slap in a touch screen monitor in the dash...i'm leaning torwards that when I finish my build :/

and whatever you do for the love of god dont move into one of those places thats like "first months rent free" lol it will be hell afterwards.

Re: What should be my next mod?

I'm actually looking to get a condo. I can't see throwing away money every month and not getting a penny back. Just a little 1 bedroom small condo is all I need. 2 bedrooms would be better. I want to have a place where I can keep all my music gear setup and make a recording studio in the one. I know I'll need a loan and all but I just don't want to throw money away each month.

Re: What should be my next mod?

Yea David you might want to invest in those awd calipers. You should know about needing the extra stopping power.

Hahaha. You know what's funny... the other day I'm driving by myself and someone rear ended another dude and I say out loud, looks like he pulled a Dave. Then like 3 blocks down, a person rear-ends another guy and pushes him into the car in front like Dominos... I say out loud, looks like he pulled a Double-Dave. IDK, I laughed.

Re: What should be my next mod?

See I want a room mate, but no one I know wants ti either move out or move out and have a room mate. My best friend is still in school and my other best friend's parents are putting a down-payment on a condo for his graduation gift. What the shit is that? My parents never did that. But he's moving out by himself. And I really don't want to officially move in with my girl, not because of her, but she' still in school too. I want to be on my own so it's my place, but I know it's more. If people want to crash there the night they can with no problems, but with some rules in place.

I need to find someone to move in with.
