6-speed MQ350/O2M350 transmission
Upgraded brakes (12.3 inch front rotors, 10 inch rear vented rotors, better pads, red powder-coated calipers)
Upgraded suspension (uprated springs and shocks, increased sway bar diameters, and revised bushings in the rear)

glove box door (latch malfunctioned)

Interior:

IMP Concepts boost gauge (sweeping LED's built into the existing tach face with 20 LEDs--blue for 0 to 20 psi and red for 21 - 25 psi) Maybe the coolest mod on the car.

Areas for improvement:

Normal wear on 7 year old paint--a couple tiny chips on the front bumper
Scuff on one of the rims--got too close to a paint can pulling into the garage
driver's side seat bolster worn a little
floor mats worn

This pic was from a trip to the drag races (the one time I took it out to see what it would do). This was back in October 2006. The side markers, bumper markers and tires are different than what they are now. I plan on getting updated pics for this ad when I get the car cleaned up, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling and if anyone is serious, they'd want to see the car in person anyway to check it out thoroughly.
