I pretty much just inherited it...

it needed some much needed TLC

Just got the original spark plugs/wires changed at 140k on the odometer!! Put some synthetic oil in it... put the new headers on since the old ones had an exhaust leak...

now she's running great...

dont need a cold air intake there should be an air silencer that goes into the fender (plastic piece) remove that and put a k&n filter in the car. So for 45 dollars you have a cold air intake. Check to make sure there is an air silencer before you buy the k&n though. It's a gt but this is what your looking for (i'd imagine 6's have something the same)

its not good to start using synthetic oil so far into the motors life. if you get oil leaks youll need to go back to traditional oil.
