Nice purchase and way to negotiate on pricing it with free stuff 
The vibration is from warped rotors and since your getting that fixed, the vibration will go away. Where is the hole in the exhaust?
Oh, get your wheels balanced. Maybe a wheel is bent, that can cause vibrations as well.
Dont do any NA mods!!! If your boosting, save every penny for BOOST and BOOST alone. You'll just waste money. And only boosted cars goes with 4" exhaust. Anything less, you will just lose TQ and it will feel slow. Kinda like those Civics that sound loud, but dont go anywhere fast
I have a CEL as well, and its my o2 sensor. Just need to change that, when I do my headers/ypipe.

Here is a little teaser
(until I can get it washed etc...)
Yes there is tape on the windshield, it's like a band-aide because I just had it replaced for $225
I live in center city philly so parking is tricky. The spot I'm parked in is like gold, if you can get that spot you don't want to move!! Haha So yeah I'm not moving so someone can steal my spot!!!!

heh I had fun taking my preview shot.
Sat around for a few minutes and figured out a way to not lose my spot!!
(used my car to block the alley where my parking spot is!!!!) :lol:
But problem is there is a constant flow of people coming through the alley hoping to find a spot.....
So I only took 2 or 3 shots and in this one you can see a tire behind my back tire...
Yeah that's a car stuck behind me waiting to get by :lol:
I'll get around to doing more proper shots this weekend hopefully.
