PRODUCTION #2534 / 2750

2003.5 MSP this was the first new car I ever bought. Very fun to drive, very very rare. Only 500 blue cars were built. I have a budget of nothing, but have managed to add some goodies. Dynoed stock hp was a very low 146 and torque was and equal 146. I will be dynoing in 5 days to see if my $725 in mods have added anything. This is the family car, our only car, that is driven every day by myself and my wife. Has 99,000 miles on it (5/15/08). Its driven in blizzards, -40 degrees, and 100 degree days. I love this car!

 UPDATE(8/15/08): I've got some more goodies.  I put on a FMIC w/hardpipes and bov, and then I added a full 3" turboback exhaust.  Car has 104,000 miles now and is fun as ever.  I should be going back to the dyno at MAP soon to see where I'm at.  I'm sure pics and dyno graph will be up soon.

dyno was done 5/17/08 at Modern Automotive Performance 174 hp and 195 tq.
Videos are at the bottom of this page.

So $725 gained max gain of 102 ft/tq!!! and max gain 47 hp over stock. And peak tq gain of 49 with a peak hp gain of 28 all at the flick of a switch. Perfect A/F ratios, however I will have to get the Unichip tuned for the the timeing control as there was a dip in the mid range were I actualy lost power. The car should show massive gains after the tune...stay tuned.

old front: no CF grill and smaller fogs
