I have to say as a Noob, I've learned a ton from this site...but this has to be the best thread yet. I've followed all of your advice, and I'm telling you my '98 2.5L is giving 911's a run for their money! The best part is I haven't had a single car pass me all day - so now I'm thinking about a side mirror delete and replacing with dental mirrors...who needs those if you're out front right? Gotta be another 3hp...Thoughts?

I've found that tossing out the passenger seat and replacing it with an occasional lawn chair results in a significant weight reduction/hp boost as well .

I bought new cheap brand wiper blades 2 weeks ago and i have to say i was disappointed with the power. It barely made a difference.

Next time I am going with a better brand like Rainex for that extra traction and power for wet weather.
