mine was an ebay CAI, which i didnt work out haw to fit properly for a while:

that lead to hours of polishing the cam cover and IM, then s/s exhaust which I don't like any more, cos i lost the induction noise in the drone of the exhaust note. :(

Well, the first mods were technically a Pioneer deck, subs and underglow blue neons, but really, who doesn't put a system in when they first get their car? Lol, that was my first mod on the Xterra too! But my first true mod is my CarPC :)

My first mod was put on a K&N cone filter.
Next was a little unorthodox.. My car would lose power on hot days, so I split the windshield washer line into 9 ends with misters on them, and directed them to the middle of each intake runner, and one just behind the TB, one in the middle top of the IM, and one on the curly-Q part. When the car got hot, I'd give it a squirt of distilled water every minute or so. It worked! then I found out about thermo spacers :D

When I first got my MX-3, it already had the supra style spoiler on, but the first mod I did was an HKS air filter bought from Zoso124 (a mod on this forum) at the Carlisle carshow circa 00 / 01 and to help with the install was Yoda! who happened to have a MAF adapter for my b6 sohc. That started it all :mrgreen:

my first "mod" was rewiring the whole audio system cause the previous, previous jackass cut up the harness and did who-knows-what to the rear speaker wires, so i just re-did it all.
around the same time i put in a HID system
