Default Just picked up a black 05

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I just bought a black 2005 tonight, only 10k miles. I've wanted one for awhile and finally splurged. Any advice on things i should know about it? I'll get pics up shortly but its completely stock right now.

Enjoy!

I have to stay off the boards, my timeline for my 3rd s2k is Dec 2009 or Jan 2010... But I'm really starting to think March 2009 now

Great car, great color. I would recommend looking into getting the front lip and DEFINITELY a stereo upgrade.

You'll quickly find this site to be a treasure chest of useful information and knowledge, welcome and good luck with the S.

I have a 2005. Here is my order of mods you should do:

1) Shift knob. Either T1R Ti or Voodoo knob- lowers the shift knob and makes it much more comfortable

2) Have the clutch delay valve removed (saves your clutch, helps your quick shifts)

3) Stereo. This is your personal taste.

4) Remove the stock resonator from the exhaust. It helps with sound and possibly volume. Most shops will charge $50.

Congrats on the purchase
