    Bought this 04 MCS for my wife and I can't say it's been trouble free, but it's been a fun ride.

    17% pulley, intake, and header. Next on the list is suspension goodies and catback.

    Ha, she wanted a "blue one that's a stick shift". I've always liked the whine of these little superchargers so the hunt was on.

    It has a few cosmetic spots on the body, needs a headliner, cigarette burn on the drivers seat, but otherwise clean interior.

    I plan on some Koni struts, a swaybar, and better strut towers. Then adding a WMW catback and being done with it... we know how that goes though.

    It's small enough, but needs a little more ground clearance for what I need. We like to canoe and play off-road. I don't think it'll look good with a hitch basket and a deer hanging out
