yeah. that's cool right. I mean as long as you like it. I may be a little slow off the line, but come on. I don't expect that much from 1600 cc's. I mean my dads bike has more displacement that that. And yeah. I like the idea of gettin a manuel from an engine swap thing. But that'll have to wait a little longer. For now handling, braking, and a few reinforcements have been taken care of. ..... Pro Kit, Power Slots, and Number One strut tower bars, and of course an intake..... Short ram... so I figure exhaust is a good idea. The stock pipes will keep her quiet for now, but I think a little more flow could be fun. Plus I like doing stuff to my car. When I can afford it. And I think the Wings West Evo style CF hood will vent things a little better. So come on tuesday. Thanks for the input, PEACE ...

i can rebuild her someday. but yeah dumping money into isn't smart. I've only put in about 4k into it now, including the cost of the car and insurance. But then again, they say that a car is one of the biggest investments the average person makes. I figure SINCE it is 10 years old, it is going to need some stuff here and there, so why not use upgrade type parts.
