LOL...I don't know if you could call mine modded, but I've done a few little things.

The only real useful mod would be the FSTB. A lot of people say it doesn't do much, but I took it off and drove it for a couple days without it and must say that the FSTB tightens up the steering, and makes the car feel all around less "wobbly."

I tried taking turns I normally did with the FSTB and was a little scared when trying to do them as fast without it.

i remember seeing a really sweet I35 with some kind of aero kit. Don't know if it was photoshopped or not, but it looked really sweet.

Does the I35 remind anyone else of the last gen Silvia? For some reason, I go nuts for those style headlights...

I didn't even know WSP had a Y pipe out for the 2k2 yet. Tell me about it! Gains, fitment, price, etc...

Also, do you notice any differences with the UDP?

Lastly, do you have any track times ?

they just came out with it not too long ago....
http://www.warpspeedperformance.com/

it's pretty nice.. and fit well......

i went to track with UDP install right after....
and i didn't see much better result... that may be due to the fact that i didn't give any time for my ECU to get used to UDP or something... and since then...... i haven't been out to trace so i'm not sure.... and i was doing low 15's and now that i have ypipe on... i'm hoping to see some great result.... going to go out to track in mid jan after all this holiday.....

Yeah, I need to get back as well. I'm pretty confident my 60ft times have been holding me back. My best so far (this is no mods) is a 15.1 and I think my best trap is 94 MPH. I keep seeing 2k2 Auto Max's in the 14's so I know it's possible (although our extra weight doesn't help any).

Anyways, let me know how that Y pipe does for your times. If you've been doing low 15s with a UDP, and I've been able to capture 15.1's bone stock, I'd love it if the y pipe helped drop two tenths

Thanks!

Congratulations! That's gotta be a wonderful feeling. I can't wait to get into 14's myself.

Mind telling me what version Y pipe you got, MIG, TIG welding or aluminized steel, etc.

Thanks
