Topanga needs love, too
So, in case anyone doesn't know, I do love my 03 Ion a bit more than my redline. I know it doesn't seem that way, but I do.
Lately I have been neglecting her, but once the Redline is boosting again, its her turn for some love.
We all know you cant tune an 03/04, so just a few little upgrades to give her a clean stock look that we all love. I have A LOT of extra parts for her, that I just haven't put on yet.
Currently all I have done has been:
Red accented the front grill
Redline Goods shift/ebrake boots with Speed Dawg shift know
Ion-3 wheels
Euro-style tail lights
New headlights with xenon bulbs
Not much in the few years I have owner her. But here are my up and coming plans now, with all spare parts!
Future:
New rear bumper (I have)
New quarter panels (I have)
Fe3 lower control arms (just need new bushings)
Fe3 shocks and struts (have struts, need shocks and top hats)
LSJ springs (have)
Swap upholster the trunk (I have)
LSJ catback with magnaflow muffler (still debating)
Low rise spoiler
When money allows I might do:
Rear sway bar
New/different seats
2.2 ZZP High flow intake tube
Heres Topanga:
All because I like to stay busy guys. bahaha
Why not put all my spare parts to use?

You should totally do the LSJ cat back on Topanga... When I was driving around without boost, my header/exhaust combo sounded pretty good and almost like stock could be... If I end up with my moms car, I am highly debating getting a long tube/ cat less DP/ 3" exhaust for the IRL, and transferring my current setup(BadMab header, ZZP catted downpipe, 2.5" cat back) to the L61 car...
