Well yea. It says "guest" right under your user name.

Funny I said stereo.

Now I would say better brake pads, fluids and a swaybar.

It's funny how times change.
This is exactly why I tell people to get to know the car better before spending money on mods. Once you know the car better it's actually possible to identify things you really *want* to change, rather than just changing things for the sake of change. Good example of *why* it's not a good idea to rush into a modification program prematurely.

Have you seen the size wing it takes to generate meaningful downforce on an autocross course?

Zaino is a very good wax. PIA to apply but worth it.

Not to sound like a nag, but Zaino is not a wax. It is a polymer polish/sealant. Waxes melt off within a few weeks but Zaino will last for a year or longer. Even after 20 or more washes!


Wow, now I sound like a sales man. But really, I have tried alot of products on many cars but this stuff amazes me. At least check it out at http://www.zainostore.com/
And if you try it, you need to get a full kit! It took me about 8 hours on a sat to do the whole car. But more than worth it. I have used it on other cars in the past and my old ladies daily Civic Si still looks show room new with just a wash after applying Zaino 11 months ago
