by **BabyFaceFinster** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:39 pm

Bought 9 days before 4/18/2000 release date....Well after 9 years and 80k miles it was time to fix up some of the age and ex-cunt damage. Just dropped $4k in new jp STAINLESS ceramic coated replacement y-pipe, new exhaust with Cherry bomb, new studs, sensors, S/C rebuild with ceramic bearings, high flow water pump and belts and hoses, etc. Previous cross drilled and slotted, Bilsteins, TRD sway bar, original new S/C etc...No check engine lites and runs great still. Next year new roof, paint, TRD body kit, interior, sound, and ho's...

The ride looks very good, it would be even better if it was lowered a little bit.

K&N..Under pressure from people for a CAI..I dont really believe in them..Adds alot of noise. I'll have to see next year when I also fix up engine bay..

I'll vouch for the ability of a CAI (Injen short ram w/UPFD extension). However, Midias and others in your area are also very happy w/their CP-E setups that will likely fare better in NY.
