Nope, he's in Washington, which is why I said "GET RID of (or replace if you must) those clogged up cats!". Can you get away with removing the cats in Pennsylvania with a historically (or equivalent) tagged vehicle?

No, it is against federal law.

I feel you mate. I have NEVER driven a 100% stock fox body until I got this one. During the test drive the owner was grinning ear to ear yelling about how fast it was until he noticed how bored I was with it. Car is so slow but that's going to be fixed very very quickly once I get the motor out of my wrecked fox.

As for upgrades, while I know everyone is giving you places to look, start with a tuneup. And do a compression test stat. 200k is kinda pushing it so see if you're still in the green to even start doing modds.
