Doing what she does best. I love her color, don't see many like her.

welcome

Any plans for the beast?

I'm So torn. I think a pair of 3rd gen oem wheels would look nice. Not sure if they'll fit. I'm looking into cold air intakes. I believe I'm going to remove the chrome trim on the
Doors however I'm tempted to replace them. However I can't seem to find the oem trim replacement online.

I 'mtaking upgrade suggestions

Without adapters 3rd gen wheels won't fit. They went from 5x135 in the first gens to 6x135 in the 2nd gens on. As for a cold air intake, do the Gotts Mod. Just as good, fraction of the cost.

Advice taken. Looking into Gotts mod now.

As for the adapters, sounds like I'm setting myself up for trouble. Lets talk headlights, I have found some one piece assemblies that are led. I'm avoiding halos as I hear many bad reviews. anything I should be aware of?

I think. I don't know what to think.

The dealership I got my ride from had a 5000 mile extended warranty on her. Had them look at the siphon filter or clean the tank because below 1/4 a tank but before the low fuel light, if I made sharp turns or suddenly stopped then accelerated she would die unless I pumped her pedal rapidly to feed her fuel.

Day one , I call in the morning, dealer says outside shop who does repairs can't find anything wrong, I offered to drive down during my work day to emphasize the problem. The dealer stated he would have them look into things further. I call later that day, the dealer states that the mechanic took a sharp turn and she began to act up, he informs me they are dropping the tank and going to check the siphon filter on the pump for debris. I call later that afternoon, the dealer states that there was a clogged filter on the pump and that they cleaned the tank . Unfortunately for the mechanic, the filter fell off the pump in the tank and more debris was sucked into the pump causing it to seize up. Free fuel pump for me, the dealer states she'll be ready by tomorrow morning.

Day two; I receive two phone calls from the dealer in the morning, he tells me both my upper and lower ball joints need to be replaced and since I'm there and already paying my fifty dollar deductible would I have he time to let them replace them? I oblige and keep my fingers crossed that I don't incur some hidden fees.

Later that afternoon I call to check on the status of my ride. The dealer states the ball joints were almost done however, oreily auto parts sent them a defective fuel pump. The new fuel pump would not be in until the next morning. I'm copesetic, who can complain when you're getting a 1000 dollar job done for 50 bucks?

Day;3 5/9/13- I call at 12. Tank is being lifted back into place , I should have her by lunch time. It's been a roller coaster ride of events but if 50 dollars is my end, I'm still stoked.
