congrats. Get a downpipe, AST, Radiator, and do the fan mod. All of course after you get the recalls done. What happened to the other ones you were looking at? With all the mods? AND WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU THAT THERE ARE THAT MANY FOR SALE?



Oh, and get a fire extinguisher

Congrats,



I'd make a downpipe my first choice. It's reliability mod and a performance mod. Make sure you have someone check the cooling system from top to bottom. Either delete the AST or replace it with an aluminum one.



Have fun,

Andrew

Fan mod = If you have had the recalls done, there will be a spare wire literally hanging from the back of the ecu. When grounded, your fans will come on. Run the wire to a 2 pole switch so that you can turn your fans on around town. Leave the switch on for 2 minutes before you shut down the car, and the fans will stay on for 10 minutes after the car is off. This helps keep the stuff under the hood from cooking.

Change that dirty fuel filter as soon as possilbe. Put some new plugs in her. Give it a bath and go enjoy it.



I would only do a down pipe and vacum hoses for the first few months until you get acustomed to the car.



Hey Twisted I see you finaly got with the forum that is the best.

Nice Avatar..It looks awfully familiar... ^_^
