i love it. absolutely love it. i live in atl and have to commute across it everyday. i dont like the fact that its underpowered but the ride at 70 is comfy. hit the cruise and go. i ave some crazy weird issues that bother me though, which soon shall be solved with a new clutch and a full exhaust/intake setup. i got the electric blue with the chrome rims. tinted the glass right away on it though. i put new plugs in it but still didnt take care of the weird problem when i floor it, it feels like it misses. but i put 89 in the other day, kind of took care of the issue. just turned 80k and wanted to know what the best "per buck" upgrades i could do to it. thanks everyone! peace(blah)
 
I still love mine after 3.5 years of ownership.

My only mod, which I highly recommend, is a short-throw shifter. Mine is TWM, but there are a number of good ones.

I'd definitely get the engine problem sorted out before doing anything there, though.

i got a new clutch for it today and have been running 89 octane in her and i think that its the clutch honestly. maybe a detonation/preignition prob but after i put the new clutch in i will know for sure

well im married and just dropped 30k on aviation school, sooooo that about sums it up, i want to get a full exhaust/intake but i want one that will sound good and still pass this emissions crap. the power does dissapoint but i can spare that for the handling. it was either this car or a 2000 Contour SVT, this gets better mileage and will last longer i said to myself........
 
racing beat cat back exhaust and find a header on the forum here. i think there are a few companies that make them for our cars. ractive, obx, thunder ( not sure of the rest). and get a injen or AEM cold air intake , they both do the same thing. but i would recommend the AEM dri-flow filter. it shows def improvement.
 
so, my coil pack went yesterday. #4 cyl. was misfireing and the idiot light came on. i installed the new one and no problems yet. strange idle at start though. there is a silver one here at my school the guy put an injen intake and thermal dyn. exhaust on it. sounds great. dropped it with springs also. cant wait to get my new stage II cluth in it this weekend
 
I got my first yesterday. it was love at first sight, i hope she treats me well... this is the first car i have gone into debt over, so i have high hopes :p
