Default What was your very first mod?

I was just replying to another post and for some reason got to thinking about the Skip Shift feature and how it was the very first thing I removed on the car. I had the car for 1 day before I disabled that. Second mod was the B&M Shifter, and from there it just all went crazy.

What was your first mod?

Rear struts for the hatchback :jester

Then a K & N air filter :yesnod:

Its been in the trannie shop most of the rest of time Ive had it but I know Ill be at this constantly. I just replaced the vacuum lines for the cruise control a few min ago and I think Bilsteins will be the first big project.

Well I'm afraid I can't laugh too much at that. Apparently the previous owner of my car fell for that as well. It had an air foil when I bought it. I left it there until I replaced the TB. I figured it couldn't hurt any.
