New Owner- Long Search Over

[Pmbrown]

Hey everyone!
Super excited I finally picked up my dream vehicle. I mainly come from the Sti/EVO background but for a very long time I have always loved the rarity and heritage of these Terminators.
Yesterday I picked up a Black 03 SVT with 45K Miles on it. Basically stock other than a pulley and a tune.
Not exactly sure what my plan is with the vehicle yet but I'll be scoping through the threads and looking forward to meeting/talking with some of u fellow owners!
I'll probably only get to drive it 1-2K Miles per year so for starters will probably be interested in low/mileage storage maintenance (changing oil every year regardless of mileage etc).
I'll post some pics when i remove the random Roush Wing the previous owner had on it (already have the stock SVT wing coming back LOL). Lastly, let me know if there is any other Colorado Owners out there!

Congratulations on finding your car. A few items to consider, If your not certain on the maintenance history of the car like I was with mine. In no particular order.

Fuel filter
Intercooler pump
Plugs
Supercharger oil

I had a few requests for some pics. Sorry it took a while but here you go!
I had to find/paint, and install factory OEM SVT Side Skirts because the previous owner had Saleen ones which i wasnt a fan of

Congrats, that's a good looking terminator! I'm still looking, trying to make things happen. My problem is ability to travel right now and have to try and convince friends for help and their schedules lol.

oneof185- No kidding! I searched for about 2 years and couldn't find any lower mileage vehicles within my area. That's most definitely the toughest part. I was about to travel to L.V and one popped up 9 miles from me so I had no choice! Good luck with searching!
First 2 Week Impression- I cannot believe this vehicle. It's seems to be in a complete different class than the Turbo Cars I'm used to (wife drives an STI). Still doesn't seem logical how effortless these Termi's move. The power band is so much more fun than having to romp an STI @ 5,000 RPM to have power.

My ONLY "complaint" which isn't really a complaint because i dont DD the car is that it gets a little warm inside! Even with the Vents closed heat still seems to infiltrate inside easily.. Buut that's a muscle car for ya, everything i've read states it's normal. Always running defrost seems to help.
