CAI to go along with the exhaust system. And if we catch you with your hand in the cookie jar doing more than just one upgrade, then you'd better watch out buddy.

aaaahhhh yes, the ol' "I'm only gonna do a one engine upgrade..." We'll see if your still singing the same tune after your first mod.

I saved up and worked ALOT. My car always gets modified in spurts. It's kind of funny, one day it ran 17s, one day it ran 14s and one day it ran 11s. Go figure. Also, I bet you won't be able to do just one engine mod. I said that I wanted to keep my car stock when I bought it lol.

Went to collage and got a BS degree. Now I work for a good company with a good pay. Priorities!! Ok ok, so my civic was modified before actual graduation, but only because I worked 2 jobs every summer and a part time job during school. So bottom line is if you want to have an expensive hobby go to school and get an education first.
