      I actually read a book by, can't remember the guy's name now, but he's all about getting the most miles out of every car he buys. Anyway, he wrote that people who name their cars tend to take better care of them than those who don't.

          I'm embarrassed to say this, but I don't know if those are wheel covers or actual aluminum wheels! I was more focused on the tires (which all need replacing, but I'm simply gonna stick my 14" Estrellas on with brand-new Kumho tires). I am picking up the car tmw morning, having looked at it on Friday.

              Would this apply to the 94-95 non-OBD-II cars?

                Hmmmm....if the impact sensors are a problem, maybe I should just have Greg rear-turbo the stock motor. Nice and simple, and cheaper too; keep A/C and better gas mileage when not on boost.

                Greg, you may be getting a visit from The Egg soon.

                    First I want to install an FMS header to remove one of the major flaws, and open up the airbox a little (drill lotsa holes).
