Does anyone else ever get all excited and start shopping for parts before even deciding to pursue buying a specific car?

You mean like how I looked up supercharger kits for 1UZ-FEs? Yep.

Yes...and it’s crushed me

I spent all night making a list of parts for a EP3 i wanted to buy..then it got sold

I then spent all night making a list of parts for a RSX-S I wanted to buy...then it got sold

I should stop making lists

Yes. Currently looking for more comfortable seats for an early 90s Hilux that I’ll probably never buy

Indeed, though I did know a 3 series, just wasn’t sure if it would be the sedan or coupe. Did that before I bought my current car. Ya just can’t help it.

I almost bought new tires for the R6 before buying the R6.

But even worse, I custom-ordered a new set of leathers that will match my R6 before I bought the R6.

I’m chasing down a 1974(I think) BMW 2002 right now.

Yes.

Ye’, got my mats and odds and ends from Czech Republic a couple of months before the car arrived as it was cheaper than to get them direct from Skoda U.K. It gave me time to treat and seal the mats from dirt and water prior to fitting them.

Is...is that a Lumina Z34 steering wheel? It's glorious.

Yes it is, and yes, it is.

Is that what you're shopping for? Because that's pretty awesome.

Not a Lumina, but it’s to replace the stock wheel in what I’m maybe buying. Aftermarket wheels all look terrible unless you spend a lot of money, so I had to pull from within the same automotive family.

That's a good call. The easiest way to make your interior look cheap is to add a Grant steering wheel.

I still sporadically work on a list of parts for the FIAT 126 I am saving up to buy! :)

Quite often I do check the parts availability before buying a car. I have even bought some parts before buying the car.
