Super. Welcome.
Good rubber, hoodscoop, GT, garage to keep it in.
You are all set now for the modding to begin.
Did the previos owner leave you with his taking
of mods or is it still OEM Virgin, clean slate of sorts?
Whats second on the list of things to do to her (him)?
First being to get rid of the dealership 'signage' asap.
What year model and whats the mileage?
An Auto or a Manual?
Good service records?
Any signs of the dreaded water leak?
Little ol lady in Pasadina own it before you got it?

I love the car, Fuel. Axle backs and 4.10's would be the most noticeable mods IMO. These cars are awesome DD's as you have surely already discovered.

Dealer signage is now removed. I will be putting an axleback on it but no 4.10s for me. I will be ordering all the pieces for my turbo build within a few months and don't think that 4.10s wil work well with a turbo.

I picked the car up with 43k miles on it and it has never had any mods done to it. It is a 5sp car. Tell me more about this water leak problem as i haven't heard anything about that
