"Yeah, they have this HUGE factory defect and no one likes them anymore, you fucking fail." OOPS! What were you expecting? Praise for your new car or just feel like posting pointless threads? Well congratu-fucking-lations, you have a car almost as common as a 240sx. JACKPOT! Will your mom be buying one next?
hey guy, calm the fuck down. He asking commonalities about the car he just bought. He wants to know as much as possible about what he bought so he builds his car right. Noone know EVERYTHING about there car before they buy it. Theres shit you wont find out until you have one. Yeah he could have probably done a little more research before dropping 13+ on a car but woo fuckin hoo, its his money.

As for the "a car almost as common as a 240" thing. Your a fucking tool. Theres 6 billion+ people on this planet...theres no car you can buy that a shit load of people dont already own. You can say that about most cars. Hence the world of "modifying"...to make it your own.

had my 02 since Feb. I like it alot. Fun to drive. I have exhaust (no need for expensive cat-back, get a muffler you like and have a shop do a 3 inch pipe for you) uppipe, turboxs tmic, and turboxs intake. This intake is another that is ok to use. Others throw off the air fuel ratio by bringing in too much air. I am waiting on a tactrix cable to flash my car with the xpt map. In all, have fun with it. Hope you have gotten some useful info in all of this.

Blitz Nur Spec TBE is loud as hell also...

Never heard of the M1 5w30 myth, but my car isn't usdm, so I might be under different rules...


nah. RFL is the only way to go for a BOV.
