Default New owner in NJ

Hello guys,

This isnt my first post I have been on here for the last 3 or so weeks doing research before my buy. I finally picked up a 2007 Enthusiast with 44k for 16.5k. It dose not have the transmission grinding issues and has had the clutch slave recall done on it. I'm the 3rd owner and this car has been a garage queen its whole life. as you can see by the pictures the 43 year old owner has done a NIsmo V1 front lip, side skirts and spoiler. The tires are brand new Pilot sport II's.

FUTURE MODS (within the next month)
Motordyne shockwave exhaust and ART test pipes
Osiris uprev tune
Injen CAI's
H&R coilovers
Clear bumper reflectors (Done)
Re-tint the windows (Done)
Z-Speed TZR stage 1 clutch pacakge with HD slave kit
Fidanza 14lb Flywheel
25/30mm Spacers and roll the fenders.

If enough cash is left cusco 1.5 way diff

Congrats.

Motorwise all you really need are a set of testpipes, exhaust (y-pipe & catback), and an mail order uprev tune. This is good for @ 30-40 whp and it makes the car very fun to drive. The stock intakes are very good. If you want to upgrade the clutch I would also upgrade the clutch slave also otherwise it will have a shorter life than it would with the stock clutch.

Put in the clear corners. I have changed my mind on modding the car. I'm going to do the coil's and then all performance after that. Wheels will come later.
