I will be in Iraq until sometime of 2005. I expect to upgrade quite a bit when I get back. Until then there will be pics of me in Iraq on page 3. I bought the car new in June of 03. The engine is stock except with the addition of a Stage 3 Turbo and Thermal Stainless Steel exhaust, all of which were professionally installed. She purrs like a tiger. Stock this car is 135 hp and about 90 hp at the wheel. With the turbo running at 4 psi and the exhaust I'm making 150 hp at the wheel. So I'm guessing around 200 total hp. Quite a big difference and I notice it too. It's nothing too fancy, just loud, fast, and fun to drive.

Right now I'm only running 4 psi of boost. After I break it in I'm going to add a boost controller and up the psi to 7 or 8.
