So whats everyones thoughts on modding your car vs. say gas mileage and other factors.

I for one wanted to make my car fast as hell all that good stuff but with the rate gas is going up and stuff i have leaned more towards Aesthetics than Speed. Anyone else in the same boat? As for me my engine will just get a good tune to stop running rich and prob get a cold air and headers and thats about it then itll be all looks

On my next vehicle I dont plan to do any modifications engine wise(not saying what im planning to buy)

But what Im intrested in doing now is having a "nice" car that looks clean(no gay body kits)

Id also like to have some real HID projectors(retrofitted of course)

And a short shifter.

Reason being i really dont hardly race people anyways.. I never have time to make it up to SIR, and premium fuel is gettin pricey. I just want a nice, comfortable car that gets decent gas milage. Maybe im just getting old.

Driving in my current car that is kinda loud with I/H/E just annoys me now. And of course because its lowered and has low pro tires it rides rough as hell. I cant imagine coil overs..haha

Speed. Gas mileage is for the weak!

Replacing my 510cc inectors, with some 950cc
Replacing my 90lph fuel pump with a 255lph
adding a meth kit
running the turbo without a wastegate, just tuning for whatever it makes!

I heart 5-10mpg!!!

Then probably sell the car to fund my new Genesis.
