Default An Introduction

Hi guys, my name's Mike. I'm 29 and a huge car nut. I've had tons of stuff over the years.

1987 Supra Turbo
1992 Talon Tsi AWD
1984 Prelude
1986 Fiero SE (V6, 4spd manual)
1995 Acura Integra LS
1992 Nissan 240sx Coupe
1977 Trans Am 6.6L
1976 Ford Maverick
1990 Accord Coupe (really fixed up)
1984 300ZX Turbo
1981 280ZX
2000 Miata
1990 Miata
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
and more...

Anyway. I traded the Ralliart in the other day for this really clean one owner GT from Texas (so hopefully no rust). It's a 2003 GT in torch red (I think)

Anyway, as a new owner I do have a few questions.


1.) I'm getting a code for a cam position sensor. I've read that this is a fairly common thing to go bad, I know that it's easy to change, but where is it located in the engine bay? This way when I go to do it I don't have to hunt it down first.

2.) Basic bolt-on mods. What kind of numbers are these cars putting up with only a cold air intake? Also is there a specific intake with better dyno numbers than others, or are the basically all the same (even the ebay cheapos)?

3.) Is there a way for me to find out if I have the GT Deluxe or the GT Premium?


Thanks in advance. Look forward to getting to know you guys.
