Hmmm/// didn't know the SE's came with power stuff...thought that was why they had the SXT and LX trims levels... or maybe I'm thinking ofthe 03 and up body styles

...another relativly inexpensive mod for the interior would be a gauge cluster swap to the SXT white face gauges...then you'd also have a tach!... the white faces would look great on a white car

..can be acquired off e-bay for less than 50 bucks if yer patient

haha i feel you man, i have on 02 SE as well, and thats the one thing i didn't like about it, no tach.

With mine i'm thinking about getting a short ram intake and new exhaust system.

I haven't looked up much about an exhaust, but i'm pretty set on getting an AEM short ram intake, any thoughts other readers? And suggestions on exhuast.

I was gonna start my own thread about this but i guess we can calaborate with others on here. I'm thinking about getting the SRT conversion, so would i need to drop a new engine and go from there, or can i just upgrade the current 2.0 to 2.4 easily (not fiscally easily obviously) step by step. I don't know much about cars atm but i'm always learning from my friends, and on here as i go along.

wall o text, sorry if i went off topic from the OP sorry bro :P

Its alright. I'd say go with the Borla exhaust man. But if you are wanting an SRT conversion I'd not worry about any performance upgrades until you get the conv. kit.

I'm not exactly sure. I've heard that its just a drop in swap. Take out the old engine put the new one in.
