Default New to the site, Long time ti owner

I see alot of newbies introducing themselves so I figured I would do the same. I just found 318ti.org a few days ago and I can't believe that I have owned a ti for all this time and never heard about this site (I finally found a home). I have had my '96 M-tech ti since '99, I am the second owner. It currently has about 125,xxx on it right now. I have kept it completely stock all these years for two basic reasons...

1) I don't want to screw it up. I know that some of you know what I mean (thanks to the "Rate the most tastefully modded ti" thread) if you do too much, or even just one or two Distasteful mods, then there is usually no going back. In my opinion there is not much you can do to improve the look of an M-tech ti anyway, other than maybe some rims (I like M contours).

2) As far as the internals, I have been really quite satisfied with the performance and fuel efficiency of the stock motor. Shortly after I got the car I had the thought to do an M3 swap, but I have never performed a project of that size and I didn't want to break it. So here I am almost 10 years (geez that makes me feel old) after making the purchase, and I still have the stock power. It has always been fine with me, but.....

Now one of my best buddies (finally listening to reason) sold his integra, his TL, and took out a loan and bought a 2000 M5 with 50k on it... I took it for a spin. Damn M-power!! Now I have to either get an M myself or power up the ti. I have always really liked the e36 M but it was a bit out of my price range as a 19 year old back in 99.

What do you guys think I should do? Keep the ti stock and get an M3 too? Or just add some power to the ti (M swap, supercharger,ect.), and if so, what do you think would be the best way to go?

-Thanks for reading
