How Many Miles Before You Modded?
Just wondering how many miles on your car did everybody have before they started throwing in an intake, exhaust and upgrading the internals?

Don't know exactly.. But awhile.. Not because of warranty issues or anything, but lack of funds.. lol. I did, however, wait the 1,000 miles until I flogged it..
