      We all have the sickness, you just seem to have the means to feed the addiction. Good for you! What an impressive list of mods. I know that you were certainly helpful when I talked to you about the line of products you are associated with.  thumb

      After I read the list again, I realized how much I would actually have saved away if I didn't own this car. LOL  I don't want to think of it anymore.  I guess you only live once, and I am not married HA HA.  On the other hand, if this list did not exist, neither would all of the close friends here on the forum.  I think the trade-off is well worth the monetary sacrifice!

      Spacy,

      How many mods have you since removed and are not even listed because they are no longer on the car?  You can't tell me you got it right the first time all 83 times!  That would be astounding!

      All of the mods that are listed are on the car currently.  Over time, I have changed a few..such as intakes and such...but what I have on there now will stay.  I am very happy with the current configuration.  If I had the correct configuration the first time, I would be a genius LOL.

      You know Spicy,  some would say that you are a genius.  Here is why:

      1. You own a Kappa, that is a pretty good start.
      2. You have a gazillion mods to it
      3. You have managed to not be married
      4. and most of all you are "very happy with the current configuration"
      5. You have managed to not be married
      6. You work for a darn good company
      7. This one may actually be a negative, not sure yet, but you live in NY
      8. You have managed to not be married

      That about sums it up.  You are certifiable and a genius.

      I'm sorry I have to DISagree with 3, 5 & 8.  Getting married was one of the best and wisest things I've ever done and would recommend it to anyone.  (And yes, she does read the forum from time to time  cool )
