Well I drove my friends STR and loved it so I decided to pick one up myself.

I just purchased a platinum color 2003 STR with black interior. 1 owner no accident clean and clear Florida car! 92k miles, and very well taken care of.

Pretty excited as I am a mechanic and plan to do all the work myself as well as unleash some power from this thing.

If anyone has some good starting points that would be killer. Im looking at a intake pipe, exhaust, maybe smaller S/C pulley and tune.

Probably some new wheels and hopefully find some coilovers or a nice set of springs to lower the car.

Would also like things to look for as far as problems go with these cars. Im located in Chicago and will be tearing up the streets soon!
