to the OP:

Don't let the haters grind you down. Just be careful! By and large, I believe your fellow posters are just concerned for your safety, and not just trying to rain on your parade. There may be some jealousy involved as well, but I can only speculate.

Alright so less than 2 weeks until I get my summer wheels! How cool is that?!

This Friday I'm getting a partial 90k service done, since I've already done plugs, belts, and oil.

In a month I'll be getting a tune and might just skip out on the CAI...

Apart from that, I don't think I'm gonna get my hands on an '04 steering rack so I think I heard about bushings or something? Might just go that route, then new struts and after that maybe brakes if I'm feeling it.

Will that CAI really help your lean condition? If you can verify that it will, it's not a bad idea with that giant turbo. If not, don't bother. Not worth it.
