First of all let me say that I love this site...Its very well made and it looks great over all!!!
I've been shopping for a car for the past month and I decided to get an 8g after noticing the great jobs that all of the members here and/or car domain have done in their cars. I finally, bought my 2001 Black GTZ this past weekend. I got it cheap since the woman that sold it to me need money fast and since it has 150k miles on it. I had a small budget so, I don't I would've been able to buy one without compromise w/ its high mileage . :(
But I must say it, that I'm pretty excited that I finally have mine. I have many ideas for it, hopefully someday it will look as good/clean as some of the ones here!!! :)
I'm already looking for some stuff: 17'' rims 'cuz I'm afraid of damaging the 18'' ones easily, ventilated/slotted rotors and pads (are the ones that go for $200 approximately on eBay any good?), performance intake system even though I'm concern of it not being good for the engine due to the extremely cold weather in Rochester-NY(does it matter/would it make a good difference?), JDM black headlights like those on the pics, cheap but good tires for my 17'' rims or should I go with 18''(having a hard time making up my mind on this one), also looking for the cheapest/best looking/longer lasting aqua(the lighter blue) HID I can find (I see a lot of them on eBay, but don't know if they can be trusted...my friend bought a Xetronic 6000k KIT @ www.xtralights.com and they are seriously one of the best kits I've seen in my life, but for approximately $400 which I think is very expensive).
Before I do all that, I going to have the engine checked since its a little loud; I think it might be a loose manifold or a leaking exhaust and the A/C is making a rattling noise too even though it works fine. I made drove it from NYC to Rochester (approximately 360miles) with one tank of gas, so I’m hopping that when I fix the manifold/exhaust I will get a better mileage from it. I heard about the so called
‘TURBONATOR”, does that shit really increase your fuel economy and horse power?
I know that maybe all this that I'm asking here I can find it in one of the threads, I just haven't had the time to read them, so please don't think that I'm an ignorant and /or get snippy/mad at me!!!
Thanks for reading my extremely long and/or tale/concerns. Hope it wasn’t too boring for you!!! Sorry If it was, I just finished all the shit I had to do here at work and decided to take a little time to share my excitement!!! :D
