Default FINALLY GOT ONE!!!!!!

I finally got 1, i got a 99 coupe with an automatic, and its BAD ***. its a lot faster than my last car! Ive just got a
few question. And having a automatic is not that bad, i kinda like it! DAMN DO I LOVE TORQUE!
I heard some of the early transmissions suck *** and they break easily true or false?(my car is stock so i dont know if it even matters)
2nd my car has 130,000 miles on it and feels strong but what is the engine life of these cars and could i still get a 125shot on there down the line and be ok?

hmmmmmm, tough call on N2O. "I" would say no, due to the miles.

i think a 100 shot would be fine, but i dont know because i never have had n20 Code has so i would listen to him. thes motors last forever as long as they are taken cair of.

ya the 96-mid 00(i think) are T-45 and from then up to 04 are 3650's i think and they are alot better. but ours are not "weak" the could just be better. wait never mind you have auto. sorry i dont really know but you need to get a programer ASAP firm up those shifts and start scratching gears

you need to go through that car before you even think about NOS - especially if is your daily whip.

druggies are not known to be good on general maintenance and with that many miles you might be due for a bunch of work anyway… hopefully not, but…

if you go juice... i'd say check the compression and do a full check down on the motor to see if its got anything wrong with it.... also, i would start out with a small shot to make sure it all goes good. like a 75 shot maybe....
