Changed Fluids

G just hit 30k.

Changed the oil (Mobil 1 oil and filter), Trans fluid (Royal Purple 75w-90), rear diff (Lucas 80w-90), Clutch (Pennzoil Dot 3).

Definately made a big huuuuuge difference. Glad I spent the $.

i'm at a little over 74k....not too much of a performance increase as compared to other cars....I think a lil better MPG but nothing groundbreaking....I just don't think that these engines really respond as well to better ignition....its seems its more of a "Flow mods" responsive type engine....

Installed polished CAI and Throttle Body, car will start but dies at around 1k rpm's... pissing me off. But the engine bay does look much sweeter.

The New Exhaust is ON!! Decided to go with the ExoticSpeed R1-T PWR Exhaust w/ Motordyne XYZ pipe with straight pipe option.

Here are some before and after clips. Captured with my iPhone so quality isn't the best but still enough for you all to get the idea. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

Before:

After:
