Default How long did you last before catching the mod bug?

I swore I'd keep the car stock when I bought it. Yeah, MD 5/16 + BTDC17 + JWT PC later, that plan didn't work out very well, at all. I lasted 4 months. I'm so weak. =(

*currently in search for complete Nismo exhaust*.

After several months of owning the car, I bought some wheels and tires and that's all she wrote. I still can't seem to stop. I go to shows. See more things and have to have.

I started moding before I even bought my Z. Did the Nismo Catback, Mrev 2 an 5/16th, K&N Short Ram intake, Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit.
I just added a UR pulley Last week. I am now talking to Performance Factory about FI with a Vortech.
