    For one, take off the 2.8 pulley before you blow the motor to smithereens. Read the safely modding your 3800 thread, then look at the visual section for ideas on how to make your car good.

    Im just looking for a second opinion on what i should do to this car.
    Its got 212xxx miles on the engine. But its been kept good. looks like its a year old under the hood. you think i should risk it and put money into performance or just stick with cosmetics

    Tough for us to say. Some are going to say perforamnce, some would say cosmetic. Me..I say drive it.. enjoy it.. then save your money for the next car with less mileage etc.

    Holy cow I was laughing so hard when I saw that picture of a nuke explosion. I wouldn't mod it either with that many miles. Enjoy it while you can.
