Hamlet's Dilemma

["Scott Johnson" <scott@domain.elided>]

Ah, the old "to modify or not to modify" question. At one point I was 
well known about these parts as being firmly in the "leave it stock" 
camp. However, over time I've changed my view somewhat. I still strongly 
believe that the hotrod approach taken by, say, the chevy or honda crowd 
does not work well with these cars. However, I do understand that some 
compromises were made in the interests of mass production, and 
technology has definitely progressed in the past thirty years.

So I'm looking to make improvements that were either impractical during 
mass production (porting, polishing, blueprinting, frame stiffening) or 
are the result of new technologies (modern tires, improved bushings, 
gas-charged shocks, etc.)

But it's my opinion, my car, your opinion, your car. Have fun, but if 
you break your car while 'rodding it up, don't come crying to me! :)
