Definitely get rid of the intake...looks like you may need an alignment, tires are feathering but great mods

Yeah & matching the z-tube with a revup airbox from an 05'-07' 6mt will help. Frees up airflow.
You can sell the cai and prob still have a little money left over after getting the z-tube and airbox.
These are 2 fairly inexpensive mods and easy to bolt on yourself.

miles are high which is what i was looking for. i commute 100 miles a day for work and i'm sick and tired of loosing my .... because of my highway miles on a car. this car compaired to others under 100k even 05-06's was just better in every way. its faster, cleaner interior, and just ran smoother and better. its currently sitting at 133k miles, but with these mods i have no idea if the engine has been replaced. my price from a small lot after attaching a small 3month warrenty was just under $11k. i'm calling it a cash car simply because i sold my 06 crossfire and had the cash to buy this, no financing and i was looking for cars under 10k but put in a little more because i liked this car over the others i found in my area.

Great score, just lose the wheels. OEM 19's would look much better.

Yea for under 11k that a solid deal, the paint looks totally mint too. I'm just always worried about cars with mods because its a safe bet they've been driven at least moderately hard during their life time. That being said I doubt many people buy a G and don't put at least a few hard miles on them.

Is there really any gain to deleting the pulley? I realize it'll slightly reduce friction, but enough to make any difference?

Its a bit of weight, it makes the engine bay look better. Why not? Its an easy mod.

Just saying since who ever modded the car went through the hassle to "lighten" something that could of been removed made me lol.

i found a red annodized motor brace of some sort on front passenger side of motor. when i jacked the car up to do an oil change i found the front has blue tokico hp shocks, i'm assuming the rear does also but not confirmed yet.

i got some time driving in the rain yesturday and i discoverd this car has massive really bad wheel hop. i've done a little search and i've come across threads suggesting to replace bushings in the rear.
