I know we all have future plans for our pros, some quite long term at that...
I've had my pro for about 9 months, and i thought i was so original for wanting to mod an early 90's economy sedan...
then i discovered forums like this a couple months ago...
before, i just had far off ideas of what i wanted to do, but now i think, with reading this forum all the time, and reading several of your sites and how to's and etc, i have a pretty good idea of what i want to do...
so i made a big list of options i could do: interior, exterior, engine, intake\exhaust, suspension, etc...
but then it got me thinking...
most of what i want to do has to be spaced out between a couple years, due to money... but my car is just over 10 years old now... how much longer is anyone going to want to make parts for it..?
i know a lot of our group buys and custom offers won't last forever...
like strut and tie bars... oh, i'd love to get all four, but they are nowhere near top of the list... but i fear once they are, they won't be around anymore...
almost makes me wonder... if i should just keep this car around for a couple years while i move out and save up for a new pro... something that will last a long time...
:shrug: i love my first gen, but as with any old car, i am paranoid of major unexpected\costly 'old-age' issues...
thankfully the pro is really reliable, and mine is well maintained\mostly freeway miles...
if i had it my way, i'd get:
- gunmetal 17's, 205/45r17s
- tokico struts\lowered 1" or so
- glossy sparkly black paint job, -nice- clear corners
- dark tinting
- CAI (well, once i pay brock for the one i ordered, i'm guaranteed this at least) and good complimentary headers\exhaust, plus some internal work (miata stuff,etc) ... OR
- KL-ZE swap, OR
- BPT or something...(i like the idea of turbo, but it seems like such a hassle)
- countless cosmetic mods (glass sunroof, spoiler, custom tails, sidemarkers, all black interior, indiglos, etc...
- good sound system
ah i'm sure there is more...
first gens never die, right?
heh, well what does everybody else think?
what is everybody planning?
