ive had this car for about 2 and a half monthes now... here is everything ive done to it, i t was completely stock before i got it!
new street performance (autozone) clutch
new altinator
new radiator and fluid
new exhaust mainifold and gaskets
replaced o2 housing gasket while it was all apart (no cracks in the turbo housing)
new 3 inch downpipe and 3 inch exhaust
2.5 upper intercooler pipe
new NGK plugs and wires
changed oil and filter when i first got it
4 new tires
new ECU
BCS mod, MAF (honeycomb) mod, and a autometer boost gauge
ok i think thats it, im just really paraniod because the car has 161,000 miles but everything seems to work perfectly and she runs/sounds like a champ
the guy i bought it from told me the timing was just recently redone with new belt too and stock turbo was replaced recently
im gonna go ahead and change the oil and filter one more time before i go, what type of oil and filter should i use and what else should i do or check before i leave.... this is my baby and ive invested almost 2k in it in 2 monthes so i dont want anything to happen.... any answers appreciated, thanks
