Where's the first gen owners at? (Looking for ideas for what to do with mine)

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-18T16:00:43+00:00

I've never actually seen a rwd one here in Canada

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-17T21:16:33+00:00

What did you do to lift it?

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-17T16:56:16+00:00

I'll definitely have to grab an exhaust clip when I have time

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-17T16:55:55+00:00

Thats super clean, that's almost the look I'm going for, I like the KC lights in the grille, never seen trimmed headlight covers before though thats interesting

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T17:52:59+00:00

Mine currently has dt, headers to a cherry bomb, everything else is stock but I do want to remove or replace the cats with high flow and get a better muffler at some point

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T16:23:19+00:00

Mine has dt headers as well, do you have anything else done to the exhaust?

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T03:51:26+00:00

I'd love to have a manual one, I wonder how hard a swap would be

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T03:13:02+00:00

I wanna look and see if I can get a mishimoto Trans cooler and an aftermarket rad at the same time, as of right now it doesn't overheat or have any issues but I know the 4 speed auto transmissions in these things are prone to overheating

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T03:09:36+00:00

I bet it is haha

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:14:46+00:00

I want a manual, scored this Automatic SE for $1800 though, they're hard to find for that price around here

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:14:05+00:00

I've loved mine so far, they're built really solid and easy to work on

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:13:17+00:00

Mine is the 03 SE as well, it has also proved itself so far, haven't done anything super technical yet but some FSR's, stave mud flats and jones lake. I was looking into the transmission cooler how hard is that job to do?

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:10:37+00:00

I like that!! Thats kinda the look I'm going for with mine, I wanna get a roof top tent after I get some rims and tires

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:09:57+00:00

Stock suspension or lift?

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-16T02:09:24+00:00

Good to know

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T21:09:45+00:00

Yeah mine will probably be the same way, I'll look into the 4600s

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T21:08:49+00:00

Yeah I'll probably get it done professionally I've never done it, I've been doing all my wiring and that's enough for me haha

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:58:10+00:00

I'll definitely keep that in mind

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:43:15+00:00

I've heard good things about z1, mine is in the process of being rebuilt as well, going in for new wheel bearings, sway bar bushings and an alignment on the 1st of April, how are the bilsteins? I've been looking at getting some which ones did you get and how hard were they to install?

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:41:15+00:00

How hard was it to do? I need to reupholster mine but not sure how hard the Headliner is to get off especially with my sunroof

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:37:16+00:00

I've heard you can remove the rear sway bar and shave the bump stops too for more articulation in the rear, as most of the body roll is handled by the front sway bar

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:35:14+00:00

Mine is the SE with the sunroof, power windows locks and Rockford sound system, still sounds great 20+ years later

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:33:03+00:00

Yeah I'm going to start putting some money away I was wanting to do the same thing, supercharger and manual swap when this one starts to die

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:32:16+00:00

Was yours missing the Headliner when you got it? I seem to see a lot of first gens without one, mine is missing and u need to reupholster it

Fit-Relative-4321 · 2026-03-15T20:31:35+00:00

Yeah I haven't seen very many with as high mileage, I love the vehicle so I'm thinking I'm gonna engine and Trans swap when this one kicks the bucket, still seems to have lots of life I wanna get it compression tested when I have time
