Default Hello from the central coast of Cali

I just purchased an 03 Turbo S thinking gas prices but this car is a blast and very fast and great on gas. The first week I had it I got 415 miles on one tank the second week I had it after i found out how much fun it is I was down to 380 but that is still way better than my 96 Tacoma. so far the only thing I have done to it is tint the windows and put a top strip on the front windshield. But I am looking to mod the lights front and rear. not sure about the wheels i kinda like the stock ones but who knows. Again hello All

We



Need





PICS!!

Color? Miles? Fun factor? And the most important question: How in the world do you get 400+ from a tank? If I get 300, I am lucky!
