Welcome aboard and congrats on the 03, hope you enjoy it. My opinion on the intake is an AEM CAI. As for the lights, I wouldn't just do the fogs with 6000k. Its a noticable difference. If you don't do the headlight bulbs it would look kinda silly. You can get the 6000k bulbs for around 280 a pair. But the fogs you will need a HID conversion kit. You can't just add the bulbs, you need to buy the ballast too. Here is a website that might help you out.http://www.suvlights.com/


Have you considered a body kit? Great first mod and you can get one real cheap through ACP. You can install it yourself and for around 900 bucks or so give your car a completely diff look than stock.

You just got the car and you are racing already? Did you break it in yet?

I didnt do my first race till shortly after i hit my first 1k, i put that on the car in the first week, i sell real estate so i drive most of the day, but ive been taking it easy on her, especially in the heat,

here is a question, how are ur guys gas miliage, i seem to go through a tank in about a day, just chugs, any advice on how to drive in the gears and so forth or something to install to improve gas milage, ive had the car for 2 weeks and have spent 110$ on gas

As for gas mileage, the low feul light comes on way too early (sometimes even with 4 -5 gallons left). If you keep filling your tank when the light comes on, then you've still got just a little under a quarter tank left. I've driven over 80 miles after the indicator comes on & when I fill it up then, there are still a gallon or two left.

I'm not sure I answered the question though. My gas mileage is good. I drive a lot of freeway miles & I'm getting close to 30/gallon.

i went through a full tank of gas in one day, only drove about 20 some miles seems like , i dont get it....:yack:

Well I avg 23 mpg. The times I have gotten >25mpg I try hard to keep the revs below 3k and use cruise control as much as possible.

You could get a drop in filter, comptech or k&n which will help a little. You could switch to a 5w20 syn oil which questionably will help mpg very little.
