I am this cars second owner, where I saved it from a miserable life with a bunch of stick on badges and pinstripes. It's my first car, that was also my first bucket list dream car that I'd rather die then ever have to part with. As long as the car remains drivable, I refuse to ever sell or trade it. Originally I wanted to make it a slammed, widebody, show-car or a drift car, but as I've grown up and mellowed out a bit, my tastes have changed, and now I want the car to be more track focused, but still be a street-able car. I was lucky to find it at a really good deal one month pre-covid, still practically brand new. Every couple of months I take it to local autocross and track days, but most days it just takes me on my short 10-20 mile commute to work or school. I'm a very methodical person, so, so far the car has 3 "planned" stages:
Stage 1 -- A subtle, OEM+, "weekend warrior" stage that maintains my warranty since it's my daily driver, and currently don't see a need to do things that will void it. Primarily cosmetic and suspension work.
Stage 1.5 -- When I finally start to grow bored of the cars performance, feel like I'm outdriving the car, want to improve some of its minor flaws, add features I think it should have had from factory, and do long term reliability mods.
Stage 2 -- The current long term vision. Once I have a stable source of non part time worker income, and can justify making the car more of an inconvenience to drive. Simply put, once I have another car.
*** Note: At the time of posting this thread, I've almost "completed" my "stage 1" setup, but don't have most of the mods installed as I'm focusing my time on school. There's currently a large stack of boxes filling the corner of my bedroom, taunting me until summer vacation, where I also plan to document as many of the mods as I can on video. Since I haven't bought everything yet, I included my owned but stashed mods in the "Current Setup" section, and the remaining stage 1 mods will be in "Planned Upgrades", along with whatever else I can fit for now (hit the max limit of 30 rows of modifications).***
