First mods

The best part about getting any "new" vehicle are the first mods you do to it to make it your own.  On my other cars I usually do some wheels/tires and other cosmetic upgrades.  In fact, I just added some bling to my family wagon tonight.

For the SE-R, the list of "mods" was a bit different.  Here's an example:

Yeah, that's some duct tape.  I didn't have any black gaffer's tape around, so I'll be sure to remedy the situation soon.  The previous owner had some nasty glue around the broken parts of the mirror, but duct tape is the obvious solution here.  And it works so well.

The power mirrors still work on this car!  

Not to mention the VLSD!  And the transmission does NOT have 5th gear pop-out.  We got really lucky because about 70% of the early cars had this problem.  I know my G20 did and it cost me more than $500 to get it fixed.  Clutch still feels good and holds well so I hope we don't need to do anything to it or the engine.  In an ideal world, this thing will drive for a year and last through the whole race it's destined for.
