the direction and meaning of my previous comment eludes me. glad you got somethin that kicks ass. and is the 6600 miles a typo? nice score if not.

thanks, and yes this car only has 6600 miles... What should be my first mods? catch can? turbo timer? a couple of other questions I have are when I am driving around and I put in the clutch at around 2000 rpms it takes a few seconds for the idle to come down, Is this normal? When I drive my car I always let it idle for a least a minute if I drive it hard more like a couple minutes. Is it always necessary to do this? or will the turbo cool if I am driving around as long as I stay out of boost?
Thanks

an 03 with 6600 miles....damn. were did you find that thing? new motor maybe?

Jquan the main point of a turbo timer is to make sure the manifold is cooled down before you stop the air flow. If you just cruse for a couple minutes after beating on it you should be good, just don't beat on it and then shut it off without letting it cool down. Sounds like your car has been taken good care of so make sure and take good care of it. Research the mods you plan to do and make sure they will give you what you want.

Its goes like this wealthy man who lives in 2 states and used this car for his summer stays in sunvalley bone stock and 6600 miles. I have been wanting one of these cars for a couple years now and have almost bought a few of them. I think (Knocks on wood) my waiting payed off.

I believe your waiting did pay off

kingj07 · 08-09-2006, 04:18 PM

wealthy man probably doesnt need to turn the car for a big price either. but you dont have to tell how much you paid if you dont want to... have us beat you up when we meet you. ..heh.. j/k

For an 03, I'd say your first upgrade should be Stage 2 no toys and the Budget Swaybars.

But that's just me

Strut tower bars, front and rear! I've gotten springs, budget sways and endlinks, and the strut tower bars made the biggest difference in handling by far. They tighten the whole car up.

After that I'd do intake/exhaust before other stuff. I got S2 no toys first and it didn't make a huge difference hp wise until the full exhaust was on the car.
