MODS:

Mine came with whats in my sig.. those are probably the most common and simple.. which you already have lol

PROBLEMS SO FAR:

-power steering was whining when i got mine...
-water pump went on my at like 75k maybe...
-starter went at about 100k. (im at 105k)...

-hydraulics in the clutch went at about 80-85k and was upgraded to LS7

eveyrthing else was maintenance.

believe it or not the car doesnt really sit that high, in all the pics it looks like it does though, although one of the first things i do will be to lower it !

Depending on how you drive it certain things you will want to change.

If you drive it hard a pcv oil catch can, good brakes, good tires and upgraded clutch master cylinder.

It's an auto my dude

@OP, get a Stall + Long tubes + Suspension
I'm a fan of suspension

Common problems from my two F-bods

+ 1 Water Pump
+ 1 Alternator (maybe working on two at the moment)
+ 1 Power steering pump noises...
+ 1 Clutch master (don't have to worry about it)

I like it. How's the maintenance records? A fuel filter, pcv and plugs and wires might make a nice difference in how she runs. As far as mods generally lids are the first upgrade, throttle bodies are cheap as well, lcas and phb are a good start towards suspension.

i got it in williamstown, paid $7500. I don't have the records yet the guy is seeing what he has. he's in the process of moving and all that so im sure everythings a mess. but the car was well taken care off, theres 2 small dings, one on each 1/4 but im other than that no complaints.

Good luck, love the color combo with the tan interior and the chrome wheels. Just a piece of advice, lowered cars look great, but every speed bump or dip in the road will make you cringe!
