There I was, in the middle of my midlife crisis, thinking; "I could have an affair, or buy a roadster" After careful consideration of the pluses and minuses of both options, I figured the roadster was the cheaper way to go.
As it turns out, My beloved wife now accuses me of having an affair with my car. Alas I fear she's right.
The mods continue to progress. an Xtune polished stainless steel header and "catalitic converter" (read that as a resonator) to a custom Dynomax exhaust. The sound is very good (albeit a little louder than I wanted) without sounding like a "ricer". I lowered the car @ 1.5 inches all the way around with Tien S springs and added Falken brand tires.
I've also installed a Bomz Aluminium strut brace, "JDM" fresh air intake w/K&B air filter. The timing has been bumped to 14 degrees BTDC

Did the Euro light thing with my front indicators, made then white instead of yellow, added an additional light to the front turn lights and made the side indicators flash opposite of the front lights. Lets not forget the blue light windshield washers.... they make the car go faster, right?
Inside I've Added a Sony Xplode stereo, replaced the door speakers with Polk 2 ways, added mid/tweeter twin speakers in each headrest & a 750 watt Pioneer amp with twin 12" JTI subs.
Other recent interior mods include a short shift kit & a Jackson Racing shift knob

OK, It's been a while! as you can see, some "MINOR" changes have come about.

Sharp looking car. I especially like the way the rims give it a "moving while still" image.
