Hello
Hey my name's Scott.
I just bought a 2001 with the Quad4 motor, automatic with GLS options package. It's a friend's car, and since he's moving to Florida first of August, I got it for cheap... but have to wait until end of July to pick it up.
I've modded a couple other cars before, so I figure in the meantime, I may as well spend some time researching these cars a bit. I don't wanna go to heavy on the mods, but I do want to swap in a 5-speed, lower it, and maybe do a couple other performance-related modifications. Anyway, looking forward to chatting with you guys!

Welcome. And I dunno if you actually have the GLS package, I think with an S means that the car would have the 3.4 V6.

A GL4 would have a twin-cam and leather if that's the case. 2001 only.

Yeah, GL2 was available with the 4-cyl 5-speed (for 2000-2002), or 6-cyl auto.
