Sorry gents no pics. I have to clean it up quite a bit before it'd be good enough for these pages. You have some very nice machines!!!

It's a 95' LS with a 3.1. I just bought it earlier this year and it gets me back and forth to work. I figured if I needed to get a commuter car why not get one with some style?

Upgrades are not out of the question, but I am married with children so I have to stick with a tight budget.
My immediate wish list is a cold air intake, rear spoiler and rims. Maybe a chip too. It's only a 3.1 so I know I'm pretty limited but if anyone has some minor tips to give me an increase in ponys please let me know.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!!

Start looking at milzymotorsports.com for what you can do with a 3.1

sounds like a nice car. the lil 3.1 is not really a super crazy preformer, but as a commuter engine it really cannot be beat for the milage it delivers and how easily it keeps up with traffic.... plus the car wrapped around it aint too bad if you want better preformance, you could look into a CAI, and maby a less restrictive exaust is not too bad eather. both will help the engine breath better, which will get you a little more power & milage.... not alot, but a little. you could also have the stock computer tuned W/ differant shift points and all kinds of other fun stuff, that can give your car a little more power & milage if done right... plus no parts to pay for.

if you want rims, i THINK that the bolt pattern for our cars is the same as late model mustangs, which opens up a huge aftermarket selection of wheels

Yes the RIM sizes for the 5th gen are the same as us 6th gens.

5x115, which would allow the rustang rims of 5x114 fit.
