Hey everyone - here are pictures of my absolutely bone stock 6 (with the exception of rotors and ceramic pads). You can see why I am posting a lot - I'm pretty anxious to make some modifications.

It's a 2004 GT-V6 with the GFX package
5-speed manual transmission
Sonic blue with black leather interior
Bose 6 disc in dash
Mooonroof

Here's a shot from the front

Here's a shot from the front corner

Image

Here's a shot from the side

Image

Here's a picture of the Magnum rotors I had installed in December (sorry it was a cold day and had been snowing earlier that day so the car is really dirty)

Image

I'll post more shorts as it warms up, and I start to make modifications.

Regards,




Jason

one piece of advice.... dont dry the car with dirty cloths or take it to drive thru car washes...this colour SUcks for swirls.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for Balhar and Chris' help on the weekend, we got my CPE intake and MAFci installed. Attached are some of the pictures.

If you haven't heard one of these things at WOT, your missing out in life!

As for performance gains - I think there is more low end grunt - the car seems to like it better. I don't get the lul or bog off the line now.

As for gas mileage - my Scangauge is tracking improved gas mileage (although it has only been half a tank so far), which I find really hard to believe as most of my 1-2 shifts are at redline - I am definitely not driving economically these days.

No CEL's to report.

Thanks again Balhar and Chris for your help!!

Chris - we will have to work on my car next - please excuse the dirt - the car has not had its spring cleaning yet.

Here are some pics...

There's definitely an opportunity to comment here - but since I just met you both for the first time, I'll keep it to myself ;)

Cheers!

That leaves my:

HID's
DDE's
Shark fin
Smoked LED reflectors
clear corner markers
TWM short shifter
and motor mount to install....

Good job, hope you like it.

And please refill the coolant, looks like it's running low.

The coolant is to the full line when the car is cool on a level driveway.

My first tank of gas after the CAI / MAFci install was 10.0 LHK with some highway, and my last tank was 9.6 LHK with no highway. Remember these are my first two tanks after the install - so I have been driving pretty hard, and still getting excellence mileage!

I am absolutely impressed with this intake - the sound, and improved mileage make it all worth it!

Cheers!



Jason
