Well if you are doing a couple more write-ups...

Yeah, maybe the stock headlamp fluid re-fill, the first time I did that I don't know the number of wrenches I broke.

As well as the neuter shank counter valve adjustment for decreased rotational inertia of the drive shaft.

also, when removing the muffler bearings, be sure to use a METRIC crecent wrench, but only after disconnecting the reconuter valve.

Actually....if you sprayed a bunch of ATF on your springs, it might clean off some gunky buildup and thus let the springs settle a little more, resulting in a lower car.

Just joining in the fun.

Don't forget about lapping the gas pedal, and porting the heater vents, good for at least 20-30 torque

My favorite "trick" is to bring a big bottle of crisco with me to the track so I can cover my car in oil, it makes my car slide through the air better, i can usually drop 10-20 seconds on my et!

Don't forget the realistic imitation CB radio antenna (JC Whitney catalog), for the true high-tech look. Also cures 3800 hesitation!

Guys. You're all fucked up. These aren't mods at all.
All you need are some mugen stickers. What the **** is the matter with you all? If you have a type R badge, it practically makes your car cut through the air faster. THINK, PEOPLE, THINK!

Right, and sleepy headlights actually form a vaccum under the car that will SUCK it along at high speed!

Its a complex physics problem, but it works.

You actually have to hit the gas to keep from accelerating beyond a certain speed!

Thats what they mean by the sleepy headlights SUCK!

Amazing but TRUE!
