    Alright where to begin... I got this car a month ago. It is really good car. the only thing i dont like about it is the speed regulator it is intended to get me to work and college but since i like to get my hands dirty i think i will always be messing with it.


    All ive really done to it is detail the engine compartment so far





    my future mod's are installing a cold air intake, a aftermarket radio, and switching my diagonal braces for the older model ones.
    i do plan to add a supercharger but i am limited on money. please rate and give your opinion

    Get a canned tune it will get rid of that pesky speed regulator and firm up your trans shifts.

    Cool car so far.

    But there is no reason to go faster than you can trap in a 1/4 mile.

    The 110 or wutever speed limiter is there for a reason, its so you dont blow up the trans doing dumb speeds in 4th gear.

    It's no skin off our backs when you go to jail/break your car/kill yourself and some other people, so we'll tell you how to do it... but I recommend keeping it to yourself that you drive that fast to avoid flaming. You will never need to evade a helicopter on the highway even if your car was remotely capable of it [hint: it's not].

    These two items are mutually exclusive. You won't topswap. Not to be a Debbie Downer... well, yeah, I'm a downer. It takes free time and money to do these things, and you should be spending both on partying. Or at least not blowing all your funbucks on badges.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
