    I'm not a fan of big chrome exhaust tips honestly. They just look kinda goofy. I like the one you picture though, it's discreet. I think it'll look really cool.

    I'm keeping my exhaust stock for the foreseeable future.

    it sucks as a daily. i went 2 weeks with nothing attached to my headers after the engine swap because my welder was busy. my little 1.8 was LOUD. the v8 could only be louder.

    My car has hangers like 6" from the end of the exhaust pipe. So I will need to get a new hanger or modify the ones my mechanic just put on... I was hoping not to spend more than $100 on install. He charges $74 an hour.

    Three days ago I lubricated the the door stops, hinges and latches with white lithium grease. The doors seem to operate smoother now.

    Found my twin. Well, it isn't an Ultimate Edition like mine so it doesn't have auto-lights, cassette, locking glove box, antenna delete, and steering wheel heater controls like my car does but still. Much cleaner on the outside.

    I had the stock muffler put on a few days ago and fixed a minor exhaust leak. It's substantially quieter than the Borla muffler that was on previously. However, the double-VANOS rattle much more noticeable, especially when the engine is cold. It's going to need a rebuilt VANOS unit and solenoid sometime in the near future.

    Dude, I would love a Fiat 126. So simple but amazing. I think he paid around £1900 for his first year.

    That sounds smooth. What's the lights around the rev gauge for? Is it a temporary rev limited or something to stop you revving on cold?
