I'm waiting to get my degree to start modding . Probably going to go with chassis reinforcements and TT with a built motor. But my plans can drastically change in 2 years.

When did you get your car? You do plan to mod, right?

I am. Will mod when I feel it's necessary to burn a hole in my pocket, to buy something for my car.

Default hey! Hey!! HEY!!!

Only because I'm plan to move from AZ to H-town. I'll be buying a house when I get there in the summer. I have a $3,500 budget set aside for mods.

Depends on your definition of "stock." I consider my car stock. Some, on one hand, count "Z" tire valve caps as "mods" and claim they are not stock. Others, on the other hand, think a car is stock unless it has F/I or something really major.

For now, I'm stock. I'm hoping to do some suspension stuff in the near future though...

I am mostly stock K&N drop in already in and an Injen CAI in a box. Hoping to get a spacer for the intake and some springs and a better exhaust but I drive the car 100 miles roundtrip to work everyday so No TT or SC in the near future

I had to choose:

I am 100% stock, and NEVER intend to mod.
Because the poll didn't include an option for "I am 100% stock and *might* mod later."


Although I don't consider these mods but my car isn't 100% stock:
K&N Drop in filter
BFG KDW2 tires

I am 99.8% stock. I've got an ETD installed, and that's it, for right now. No time, or money, to mod at the moment.

I managed to keep mine stock for a year, no performance parts. I knew once i started the mod-bug wouldn't go away. I did swap out the stereo system 4 months after i bought the car.

Are all these threads about being stock trying to boost anti-modder's confidence up? I don't understand why they're suddenly coming up.

If you like the car stock-- then keep it that way. Why do you need someone else's opinion. It's up to you to experience some things, ya'know?

Financial situations sometimes don't give enough room to modify, but you can always have future aspirations. It's what makes modding fun ... looking forward to something. Luckily I am in a very furtunate position where I can add some parts.

I perfer having a modified Z because I never like to settle for something that doesn't have a mix of my personality in it.

I'm currently stock but am about 1/2 to saving enough money for a Quaife LSD and 3.9FD

I'd love to mod more but my financials situation doesn't have room for huge mods.
