Previous owner... Corsa exhaust.. ebay CAI (dual cone) but still have the stock bridge) the tape on air vents, wheels/tires, brakes/rotors and pioneer head unit...

Me- Gas? Fixed climate control display, ummm ya..

I have to cough up $1400 to the state for plates and probably an extra $100 for some that say "N0TDADYS"

i'm also a full-time student and the military ( no surprise) found out I dropped my classes last quarter ( had some personal issues ) and they want their money back... So I owe them a chunk of change too....

So things are a little tight this month... Live alone (well i pay rent/bills by myself ), completly independent of parents so mods will be slow until I get caught back up...

BUt believe me the mod bug is eatting me alive..

LSX intake manifold
Jet hot or LG LT's
90mm TB
Vararam
Screen kit
Car PC
DR's
c6 z06 wheels

after that i'll probably take a little time off from modding and try to pay the car off...
