New from MA
Hi everyone! new member from carlisle, massachusetts. ever since i bought my car in april I've been on this site a few times a week checking out everything this site has to offer and recently just got around to finally joining and posting here!

Welcome to the club! Post some pictures of your ride when you can, and be sure to share some of your plans for her.

Re: New from MA
Hello everyone! I apologize heavily for the delay in response... I am a full time student and i work part time on top of that so i haven't gotten around to filling you all in on my car until now.
First off, i would just like to say how much i LOVE this car. Its such a comfortable ride and i love the unique look. The only problem with this is this car loves to leak on me. Since acquiring the car in April 2011 I've had to replace an oil pan gasket, a coolant gasket, an e-brake cable, a coolant elbow, a window actuator, and a belt tensioner. All these repairs, i have been told, are typical for a car of this age. The car has little to no rust (theres a small amount under the driverside rear wheelwell) and every mechanic ive taken it to has said the car is in great shape for its age. These repairs have cost me quite the amount of money so i havent done a lot with customizing it but ive finally saved up enough to do some custom work on the car.
List of mods I've done so far:
-LED fogs
-LED Switchback front signals
-Cleared corners
-Aftermarket head unit
Mods i would like to do:
-retrofit the headlights with projectors
-LED conversion for the tail ights
-clear/smoke tail lights
-new speakers
-tints
There are more things i would like to do eventually but this is kind of a jumping off point for me for right now. What are your thoughts? I would greatly appreciate any input you guys give me!
