Hitman bought mine in April. 97 Pathfinder. First thing was a new grill guard and nerf bars, then came the stereo system, after that a carbon fiber dash kit and shift knob. It already had suspention.

uh 4 years ago, i took out the back seat and installed my old stereo system from the pulsar (modless, of course) and it plugged right in! No wiring. Then i got an Injen intake, the rest i dont have enough space or time for it. This unibody has seen alot of changes...

i got mine in september with the SR swap already done.

first thing i did was TC bushings. Mine had already burst, so I subbed them for Nismo rubber. Then it was AGX shocks after I found myself plowing into a ditch on a rainy night. Then the HKS boost actuator, then fuel pump, then springs.

i did head unit and new speakers but my first performance mod was buying pdm-racings suspension package: whiteline springs, AGX shocks, whiteline f/r adjustable sways, and polyurethane bushings for the suspension components(still need to install some in the rear control arms but there such a pain). i also got spark plug wires and iridium plugs at the same time. that was a big first mod.
