i just realized, if you have the grey interior, our cars started out the same. I've done a few things, minor so far, MGW shifter, Engine cover mod and the GMPP axle backs off road exhaust.
same color same wheels etc...

There is a bit of drone at steady rpm rates if the engine is a little loaded, for example, going down the highway in 6th gear at 1800 - 2100 rpm...I tune most of it out, it's not that bad, but I'm going to try some dyna-mat or something in the trunk area to see if I can't quieten it down a little. I had them installed for the time being until I do the full mod set... I want to go long tube headers, full exhaust with an x-pipe, CAI, maybe a cam and some forced induction. I intend on driving it for a year or two before I go into all that though... Make sure no lingering Warranty issue come up... like I'm having with the transmission right now.

MGW is the BOMB... I put it in, it was a little tough, as I did it laying on my back in the driveway, but man what a difference...

It is a little tough at first going into 6th from 5th, as I was told it would be, due to the centering spring. George at MGW said it was engeneered this way on purpose. All mechanical items develop some slop, looseness, and sure enough it did, ( it loosened up to a point of perfection IMO) now it's pure bliss to shift.... Motion is positive, placement is sure and no shifter rattle noise, and haven't missed a gett'in after it shift since I installed it... I have 1750 on the car, and 1500 on the shifter...

I have been through so much mods on cars, I have a Cobra Mustang with Bassani side exit,its not awful loud but its stereo race track sort of sound because it exits directly behind the doors...Iam kinda tired of loud,I am thinking ,GMPP headers,x pipe and stock mufflers..will give it sum breath and balls..
Mine is going to Vengeance Racing in two years maybe...I will see...if I win the lottery its goin next week !
