If you buy it you may want to switch in a K&N air filter. It added 20 percent to my combined gas milage. I kept the old filter to use when I clean the K&N and have it drying out. The new filter also gave the car a little more pop. B)

I have Put it on at 16000 miles and the K&N has paid for itself already. :worship:

Did you get the conical filter or the one that's a factory replacement? I have 900 bucks coming back to me from my unused extended warranty so I will be buying some mods. Any suggestions on where to start? I've already decided to get flowmasters...what else should I do? Remember,I'm only using that 900.00
I promised the wife I'd be good,lol!!!!

I got the K&N model E-0945. Pretty basic.

There are many threads on this site that will help you know what you want to upgrade.

I am no expert, but my next upgrade will be a set of flowmaster stage II with x-pipe. I'll hold off until August or so before I do it though. Very affordable too. B)

There seems to be a lot of opinion on exhaust on this site. My advice is to go to some events and listen to the sounds that these things make so that you will not be surprised or disappointed. I heard the pipes that I want, so now it is just a matter of time before I buy them.

My car sounds great now. Especially when I get it up to 5000 RPM! The best or worst thing about a convertible is that you can hear a lot from your own car.

My dad lives in Erie, PA Not too far from you. Too much snow for me man.

I have lived in Virginia since 1992. B)

I drove up from Virginia and on the way back I cruised at 100 mph from the WVA border on US 81 until a few miles outside of Manassas VA. About 100 miles or so. I was racing with a Michibishi Spyder and later with a Camaro. It was great to have the top down for that ride.

You are going to love your ride. Get the polish and wax out now buddy!

Yeah,Erie Pa gets pounded 10x harder than we do...they're in what's called the snow belt. As for exhaust I've always loved Flowmasters sound and you're right you can get a nice set up relatively cheap. How'd ya know about the wax/polish...I'm holding it in my hand right now at the ready,LOL!!!! I may have to sleep in her tomorrow night with the top down (that is if it can go one day without rain here )

When I bought my car, I told the dealer not to prep the car. I wanted to go over it in loving detail myself. B)

As it turned out this is pretty good because you find all of the flaws in the paint job before you start out. When you are parking at the edge of the lot anyway, you do not have to get paranoid over a newly discovered blemish on that hot ride. :nono:

Besides it allowed me to bond with the car. :worship:

B) Looks good. My car did not have the decal on the back bumper. Seeing yours makes me wonder what white letters would look like. Did you do that scootr or did the dealer put those one?
