That engine bay looks rough. Before you go "upgrading" everything, you should spend some time getting a full service done. I'm sure the PO didnt care for it all by the looks of it.

I took the liberty of correcting your post for easier reading.
Welcome

What's going on, guys? My name is Mike. I am new to the s2k. Long story short, this is my first one, and I plan on doing simple upgrades for now, such as lowering, rims, and maybe an exhaust. Lol. Right now it has all the simple stuff like an ap2 front bumper, cup holder, and a nice system.
I picked this thing up for a steal--for only 4 grand--off my buddy that just hated it, so I win!! Lol.
On with the pics:
First day I got her. Not soon after I parked in a store parking lot (my luck out of the camera angle) and someone decided they wanted to rip, NOT cut, RIP my soft top like the hulk and not even steal anything out of the inside. I don't get why they would, but they did.
So I got lucky because it was supposed to rain that whole night, but I still went on to going to a friend's party and at least
try to have a good time. The very next day, I had it replaced for $800 installed. The only thing different now is that it doesn't have a
defroster.

4 things.

1. you bought the car for 4 grand? fuuuuuuuuu /jealous
2. it needs some TLC but for 4 grand you can't complain. Don't rush so much to mod it, learn the car, give it the TLC it's been missing before you go hacking up everything.
3. Sucks about your top, glad you were able to get it replaced so quickly.
4. I HOPE that exhaust sounds as good as you say BC it LOOKS pretty damn horrid. no offense.

criticism is welcome it will help me make the build alot cleaner due to i am new to it! as far as TLC i will be going over the engine bay as soon as i can get a warm day and a full int clean! now i have some videos with the exhaust that im going to try to edit all into one video. its a comparison video with the silencers and without!
i personally like them in its quite and still has a nice tone with out is kinda over kill. thanks for the feedback! would you think painting the center piece of the exhaust black would help the look overall its kinda an eyesore? i would like to get a single tip but only if i can find another great deal

you shouldn't need to replace the timing chain. billman on here sells a modified TCT that i believe has a lifetime warranty? PM him and go from there

if you haven't yet since you have owned it, i would highly recommend changing the tranny fluid and rear diff fluid (and obv engine if it's low)

if you're interested in purchasing an aem intake i can sell you one for super cheap
