Default I've definatly upgraded...

Hey everyone, name's Adam...and I picked up my 99 WS6 just a day or two ago. I was driving an 03 Mazdaspeed Protege before but I've stepped up a few notches on the ladder of car hierarchy.

Just glad to be part of LS1Tech...I've heard a lot of good info comes out of here

Well...I've only got one picture right now...I'll have to shoot some more soon



As far as I can tell, and some of the other guys I know, it has a magnaflow axle-back exhaust, what looks like corvette rims, and some neons *shudder* in the front upper "nose" and what looks like there were neons under the car but those have been removed.

There is a sony head unit in place of the stock one...so now my buttons on the steering wheel don't work...but all in all its a good car. 68,8xx miles when I picked it up.

There is one issue though, the car keeps on saying that I'm low on coolant, but after repeated checks, It hasn't dropped any...I'm guessing that it's just a bad sensor.

Thanks for the welcome

take it back to the dealer and have them check it out for you, they should not charge you seeing as you bought it a few days ago from them. but do it asap

Nice car...they look great black. Many places make kits to have your wheel buttons work again. Just take the neons off...

Very clean looking car! They are soo fun, just be careful with it until you get the feel for it. These cars are pretty powerfull and can get away from you fast. Have fun

Thanks guys, It's been an awesome car so far, and I'm starting to get used to the power a little bit...a little step up from the 170hp that the protege had.

Thanks again for the warm welcome

Since you have to take it back...tell them you want a full inspection done while theyre under there.
Because it's used and modified, let THEM handle all the bugs before you need to deal with it.

The steering wheel controls aren't a big deal.
PIE makes controllers that work with many Sony Head units.

Hopefully the dumb-asses didn't chop the wiring harness up.
We've got the color codes if ya need em
