New to the site, old to the game

Hey everyone. I bought my 1999 2.3 CL 5speed about 2 months ago for $1600. I got a pretty good deal on it I think. It has some issues but nothing too terrible. I like the car, always have liked this body style especially when they first came out. It's somewhat peppy, except when a plug isn't fouled or some new gremlin pukes into my throttle body. Here's a list of what's been done so far: 19" Konigs, high & low 8000k hid's, limo tint w 35% on the windshield, 7" double din pioneer 6 disc DVD changer, 2 JL 13w3 sealed powered by a Sundown 2500. That's a list if the things that were fun doing to it. The list of what I've had to fix is a little longer. Repairs I've done so far: new timing belt, water pump, cap, plugs, wires. New exhaust piece from cat back, new ecu, o2 sensors, iac cleaned, throttle body cleaned, intake gasket, fuel filter, injector o-rings, wheel studs x4, oil change, radiator flush, full exterior/interior detail with engine bay cleaned also. I'm sure I've forgotten something. But whatever, I'm happy with the car. It's fun, gets me where I need to go, doesn't suck gas like my 05 Tahoe, and is just an all around fun car to own. Im planning on doing additional mods, but I'll just post pics as they happen.
