I think you need a CAI, exhaust, tune, add some tinted windows and mood lighting on the inside and you'll be all set!! lol!!

Seriously, nice ride, hope she serves you well! :)

Thanks guys lol

I kinda do wanna throw an intake on it, not because I want it to be fast, but I want more MPG, I just got this on the way to school.

It's sticking right around 25 MPG right now so I can't really complain lol

I wonder what tunes would be like for this, the PCM is really easy to get to but it would probably help the MPG.

I was surprised by how little glare there is and the light output was quite a bit better :thumbsup:

Please put a K&N sticker on the window, an "R/T" decal from a Neon or something on the back of it, red pin stripes and an auto store hood scoop. Then take pics.

Please :D

What year is your town and country? What trim level is it? I've got two of them, a 95 and an 06. They both have the 3.8 in them. The 95 is just about to hit 190,000 and the 06 is close to 80,000 miles. I'm getting ready to put a timing chain and gears into the 95. Both vans have plenty of power and lots of torque from a stop. I am pleased with the power and reliability of both vans. They are both Limiteds and are comfortable rides.

It's an LX. It has power drivers seat, all cloth seats, bucket 2nd rows, DVD player and CD/Cassette up front. So far it's been really reliable, it's seized a valve spring before and burns a little oil when it's pushed hard, but that's expected at 142k miles.

Here's some updates from today.

Cleaned the interior, still needs to be shampooed but I didn't have the time today.

Before:

During: (scrubbed the floor mats, they could use some more time put into them though)

After:

There's quite a bit of stains in the carpet, but nothing a good shampoo and steam can't take care of. It did clean up nicely with just a vacuuming.

I'm still looking for the rubber insert for the area inbetween the 2nd row of seating, I know it's sitting around here somewhere lol

In the summer I'll be using the van to learn a little about bondo and painting, I'll be getting rid of the rust and i will bondo and paint the areas.

My 06 is the same color combo as yours. Mine has leather seats and has the sto and go seating. Mine has power everything as well as the DVD navigation system. Both of my vans use a quart of oil every 3000 miles.

Wow that's a lot, mine hasn't used that much, in fact last time I checked it didn't use any and the oil is still sitting pretty bronze-ish, it's been dark a little but that was because of seafoam. I always keep a spare quart of oil in the van just in case. :thumbsup:
