Hey everyone, my name is Rick. Currently in Milwaukee, WI. I just picked up a yellow 3.5 MSP yesterday and already love this car! As far as I can tell its completely stock, however the stereo is not the same Kenwood as I have read about on these forums. I have never been into cars much and have ZERO experience with performance and engine details. My addiction has always been for two wheeled rockets, but now I have decided to get into this fun four wheeler.

The questions I have could start its own forum alone, but Ill try to start with the basics. This vehicle seems to be a pretty solid package from the start, but as with bikes I know there is always room for improvement. And of course this is where my new addiction begins!
So assuming this ride is completely stock, Im looking for advice/opinions for the first engine/performance changes and improvments that need to be done to make this a smoother running machine. Thanx ahead for your help.

p.s. I will work on getting the pics up.

exhaust and intake would help out, along with a FMIC or SMIC upgrade depending where u want your performance gains

And add engine management and a PG intake mani to the list and you will see a decent improvement

Pick up 2 items and it'll be a totally different car @ stock boost.
DSM's AFC ~380 and a midpipe ~100 at any local exhaust shop.
Then you'll need to battle heat with either a FMIC or SMIC ~400-1100
depending on what you want. Then feel free to turn up the boost a little.
