Not sure about the 2010 but id get the ignition upgraded. (Coil kit from bennet built) seems the best i have found for my 04.

Congrats and remember its more than a car its a lifstyle.

There are also other coil kits available, but more expensive;
BHR ignition kit uses the GM coils, around $500.
SakeBomb ignition kit uses Mercury 1GNA coils and a heavy duty wiring harness, about $650.

Bennet built uses d585 coils and matching heavy wires. The adaptor harness they make is solid aswell. And the braket is the best looking and unique in my opinion. Also you cant beat the price😊

Proly gonna go for exhaust first

What's the deal with premixing your gas

Especially for S1s that did not have the extra oil injector like the S2s, it's thought to add extra lubrication to the housing.
Cheap insurance, I do it with Lucas semi-syn 2 stroke oil.

KingKoopa93

Do you have a s1 or s2? How much do you mix? Just a bottle while fueling?

BigCajun

S1, '04 LY GT.
8 ounces to a tank, that may be a bit heavy, but it seems to be OK.
I buy it in a quart bottle, around $10.
Use JASO certified low ash 2 stroke oil, not TCW.
I've changed my plugs 3 times, and they looked pretty good.

KingKoopa93

So if prob be good not doing it since I got a s2?

It wouldn't hurt to premix an S2. I would do the coils before the exhaust (I did RB intake and BHR coils so far on my S2). Make sure you check the oil every other fuel-up, I am pretty sure everyone on here keeps a quart of oil in the trunk with a long funnel and oil rag. Change your oil often (it isnt a camry that can go 10k miles between oil changes) and only use OEM oil filter for an S2. The better care you take of it, the better it will run and the longer it will last. If you get into the good habits of the the little things to keep it running good (premix, frequent oil change, redline it a few times a week, etc), you will love the car.
