I decided to start the thread and slowly build on my baby as we grow old together.
I wouldn't expect this thread to be often updated, but when I do do stuff to it I will post here  . First I need some pictures, which will be posted whenever the rain stops so I can make my car look shiny for the internet  .My first mod will be internal LED lights, whenever I get around to building that. This thread is going to be filled with all sorts of basic mechanical stuff though, like I'm hoping to get the o2 sensor looked at by a friend and eventually I'm going to fix the oil leak and Cruise control problem. The leak ain't bad and I wouldn't use cruise right now if I had it anyways, but those two are my main issues. And finally, I'm going to fix my sticky accelerator pedal, because it's costing me in MPG and it's annoying having a sticky pedal. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

I just remembered to take some photo's in front of my job, next to the tree I like to park too lol.   I forgot about posting any engine bay pics lol, so here ya go   And this just makes me happy to look at when I open the hood  Still no idea how to fix problems mentioned before, but they are minor and will not cause any damage in the long run so they can wait until a few paychecks lol

UPDATED PROGRESS:
- Changed the tranny fluid - fixed the moonroof seal leak - Changed the engine oil - Accelerator pedal really fixed itself over time, I think sitting in the dealership made it sticky and everyday driving cured it I guess. Overall, I don't really plan to mod it much, basically just maintain it's OEM beautifulness and keep everything as clean as I can. It's been good to me, so I try to take care of it and I figured it'd be time to post it. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

Ok, planning my next move to help a car out.
The main things that I want to get are: -New tires! Any suggestions would be helpful, and I am looking for something that isn't crap but isn't top of the line, like a solid B or B- in terms of price... if that makes sense. -New brakes! I know an honest shop out here in sac, they took care of my dad and did my car well in the past (when I had the epic nissan sentra) I don't know how much I should pay for a new set around the car (probably just pads because the cap's are a lil rusty but not so bad), but some shopping around should help that. -Idle air control valve! While back, a buddy at work, he's a member of the mr2 websites y'all know about, was listening to my car and said that because it doesn't turn on when it hasn't been on in a while, and it's slight inconsistent gas feed into the engine I should replace this part. I'm still surviving off the old one, but once I have the above two items I'll get right on this. Also here is a video which partly contains my 6gc in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuibqWikT9o...BoGnawxgSPVnbNU Hope to post more soon, deepak chopra -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner!

Tires, Falken Ziex. Always good on a budget. Brakes, you can't go wrong with Hawk HPS pads and Brembo blank rotors.

QUOTE (richee3 @ Jan 16, 2012 - 11:31 AM)  Tires, Falken Ziex. Always good on a budget. Brakes, you can't go wrong with Hawk HPS pads and Brembo blank rotors. Ty Very much! I don't really know the stock tire size by heart, but I believe for the gt model its 205/50/15 or 205/60/15 right? Later on today or with my next paycheck ill get these bad boys bought/installed -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

No problem. Split the difference, it's 205/55/15. Either size will work though
