What's gonna be your next mod?

So I am thinking about it and there are sooooo many things to be addressed...I am at the point where the rebuild is definately next. but even after that there so much. I am trying to make a list and prioritize the list and see where goes what, what goes after that, and bla bla bla...

So share where you are now with you FD and where you are going and the steps you plan to take...

If you're happy with your FD and you know it....clap your hands!!

This winter i am planning to start with 1600cc injectors and a fuel rail, HKS ignition, battery relocation and a torque brace. After that I will probably start on some cosmetics such as a vented hood, front bumper and some engine polishing.

Kinda scary to look back and think 3.5 years ago my car was bone stock

i have the same psychotic thoughts as you about what to do and what order to do it in. i currently have a wrapped dp, pettit intake and hard intake pipes on a mazda reman w/12k miles and a h.d. manual boost conroller. vacuum hoses are done and i'm running non-seq, clutch is new act unit. i'm sure the consensus is to do a cat-back next but i'm leaning towards fuel system mods first. i know that i want to be around 400 rwhp when i'm done so rather than do the exhaust i would rather get my fuel management up to par before going any further. so here's my list in order to be completed:
1. profec b spec 2 boost controller.
2. pfc w/commander and injector upgrades.
3. cat-back and resonated mp and have intake pipes jet-coated.
4. a decent set of 17 inch wheels and tires. (enekei rpo1's? or are they called 2's now--the 5 spoke ones that weigh 16lbs.)
5. r.e. v-mount radiator/intercooler.
6. some type of roll cage.
7. m2 or bnr stage 3 turbos.
8. 99+ j-spec front bumper.

i'm sure that somewhere in there is the unexpected pineapple rebuild with stage 3 street port but i didn't want to assign that one a number and then have the motor blow up before i get to number 1.

Mods are in my sig. First however I have to figure out why it sounds like there is crickets in my engine...Then it is going to look like this: PFC, intake, IC and midpipe. I have a walboro 255 fuel pump in my room that needs to be installed. Once the car is running fine, I am saving for a single.
