Well seeing as how I will mod this anyways, ( even after I told myself I wouldnt mod another car again ) and am in the process of ordering headers, MPS, and intake.... I guess I'll just throw this out there
Lets face it.. 75% of the cars on here are old ( 10+ yrs ) and have hi miles, leaking oil pans, and have been past their prime.. So now I'll ask this.. I have a 2006 GT.. Its my daily driver, but yet, I still want to mod it.. I am a sucker, and apparently give in easy to the temptation being there. It is in excellent condition for the year ( 8/10 outside , 9/10 inside ) but is closing in on 150K miles... I just did the coolant, trans flush, added a shift kit , 180 stat, new plugs n wires and now want more bolt on toys.. So is it really smart to do this with 150K miles, or do some of you just have the mentality of, "If it's not broke, dont fix it?" I know these are great motors, especially the bottom end, but is there a point where you say " If your trying to mod with this many miles, just pull the motor, rebuild and do everything right, all at once" that being the addition of new cam, seals/gaskets, possible head work, valvetrain, I/C, Rings, Hone etc..
Only reason Im asking is because I really want to know what everyone thinks, and If Im dumping all this money into bolt-ons, should I just yank the motor, and do a full rebuild? My car runs phenomenal, and has a assload of highway miles, but 150K, is still 150K.. I cant see yanking the motor on these cars being to difficult, and if it will make it easier to understand.. I have $2000 that I will spend on this car.... that is it.. Im already being a spineless vagina because I said I didnt want to mod in the first place, and gave in, but if I can dump 2k into a car I paid 6k for and have it be a lasting reliable car for 5 yrs.. I have zero problems doing it
