Not bad, I am very happy with the intake, considering I gained 6hp, and 10lb/tq. I also installed the rear sway bar, and front strut tower bar. I am very pleased with the improvement in the overall handling of the car. I have many more toys coming and I can’t wait.

It is a change from my old daily driver, a 2001 Dodge Dakota, but a good change. I was impressed with the good mileage; I did lots of town driving, driving up to and around Olympia, and finally drove to Vancouver to visit my sister. All of that and I got 31mpg. I might also note I have a lead foot so I was quite pleased with the results. Currently as of this morning I have somewhere around 600 miles on the toaster, it has 250 or so when I picked it up so the rest is me.

Everyone that has seen the “toaster” is quite impressed with the interior room, as I am. When I first was driving the toaster it felt like a delivery van, it is somewhat past that point and is getting more comfortable to drive.

Exterior needs on this are a must. I know I still haven’t gotten pictures up but I promise tonight I will post some. It is bagging to have the front windows tinted and it really needs wheels. I am still debating on what wheels to put on it.

Overall I am quite pleased with this car and it is tons of fun to drive! Well I need to get back to work I’ll post more later.
