Yes I drove my car in the winter in Maine. Thing was a beast in the snow never got stuck. Anyways the only issue I ever had was going through a touchless car wash one time. The front end was hit with so much water pressure I believe the MAF got wet and caused the motor to act weird after a couple minutes when the water dried up all was back to normal.

Like I said unless your fording rivers or using the front of the car for a snow plow there is no issues at all.

Take some tire shine and wipe down all the plastic and hoses. That will really bring that engine compartment to life.

Plogs don't exist for your engine. I think we discovered ages ago that the downpipes were the same, so yeah you could do that, but you need to ask yourself why. The 3.1l is gonna take a lot of work to make power... Most of these cars have 3.8l engines, so 99% of the aftermarket is geared toward them, even the PRJ wires. So unless you're ready for a full blown turbo build, it's best just to shine it up and go cosmetic like Palsut or engine swap like me. Turbo or a swap will neither one be cheap.

You can do some stuff to wake up the car...the upper and lower intake can be swapped for one off a newer 3100 or 3400 for better flow, there are headers you can get, and you could get it tuned for a little more power. It'll never be a 3800, but you can wake it up a little bit. If you really want to go places, you could use the newer 3100 or 3400 heads, have them ported, and replace the cam. 60degreev6.com would probably be of more help in that area to wake up that 3100.

You can go the dp and plog route, but stainless steel headers are available for around the same price.
