Re: New "Daily Beater"
Sweet!
I've got a 2004 Limited Edition Platinum Series that originally came with the low pressure turbo motor, which is actually the exact same engine as yours but with different computer programming to reduce HP and torque to 180/190. So with just 2,000 miles on her I installed the Stage 1 ECU to bump her up to 245HP/265ft-lbs. Low 1/4 mile car, 24 mpg on the freeway.
56,000 miles and the only thing that has gone wrong is the display on the overhead console stopped working about a year and half ago. Oddly enough, it started working just fine again about 4 months ago. A self healing car - can't beat that!
