if i could go back in time several years to when i bought it i'd probably get a mint condition VXII SS instead and have some fun with that. i definitely wouldn't modify the performance side of it again either, just the sound system.
as mentioned there is a chance the electronics will play up in...
at the moment i have the SSV Z series sedan with full manta exhaust in 3" mild steel, quiet option. i also have a OTR CAI and have it dyno-tuned for 360rwhp. there's too much drone for me, i'm really sick of it now and want to make the car quieter.
