Great to hear!! What is history on your car. The service it's had and parts replaced(plug mileage,coils,etc). Ever flooded, mods installed. Have you ever run any engine de-carbon cleaner to improve compression? Just any thing that you can add.

If it shakes hard especially when the ac is on its your motor mounts, they are liquid filled and when they get too hot the fluid in them breaks down

36,500 on my '04 6 speed. I've had it for exactly a week.
Figured this would be a good first post. No mods yet, but I did get another set of factory rims with snow tires for $600. I want to get the windows tinted, get a grill (mainly to protect the oil coolers), and have my sub and amp installed. After all that is done, then maybe I can save to get about 5 little dents and dings fixed.

Well the lack of power could be from a few things, most likely carbon build up, but check your filter and your plugs (the plugs are easy if you take the front drivers tire off). Also could need a reflash for lack of power, or maybe your cat is bad.

I've got about 89K on my August '03 build original engine 6speed. It is idleing a little off and doing a couple of other little things, but it has great power and runs fine.
