Man, I think you guys are right...definitely need to tune up my car and fix all the little things. Little things that irk me. Thats definitely what I'm gonna do.

That...and I think I'd like to get my windows tinted! THAT would help out a lot...

Also, I've been looking at getting another kind of shift ****, but actually I'm not sure which kind to get. I like the metal knock off ones that I see on E-bay...

But I figure that might get kind of hot during the summer time...

I know what you should get:

a decent paying job.

And I'm not being an *** about it either.

Yeh, definitely always a good thing to have, not just for a car but for everything.

It's not that I don't have the money to spend for a turbo or LSD, it's that I don't think I'm ready for it yet. I don't know what good lots of power is, if I can't drive my car very well to put it to good use, or know exactly how much power I'm going to need.

Definitely want to buy something though in the mean time...so thats why I was asking...

Lol...moneys burning a hole in my pocket.

either a steelie + tire (i have to put air into my left rear tire at least once a week), a crank angle sensor (ripped it apart when I took out the tranny), or an O2 sensor... come to think of it I pretty much need all 3 of those parts pretty badly. Gotta stop being lazy...

I think I need a tune-up as well for mpg and a tint job, my car is a rolling oven in the day time. My metal shift **** is also not so pleasant to grab in the day time. So ....yeah tune-up, tint, $15 Autozone shift-**** that matches your green-paint. Oh yeah that's me...hehe

that's funny, I remember watching some show on the history of cars and they said that european cars generally are not made with cupholders in mind becoz nobody eats their while driving. Apparently cupholders are an American innovation...

Did you get the whole din panel cup holder or one that connects to your change holder/ash tray type r thingy? My friends got the din panel one for his 86 and he can't shift gears while it's open. Just wondering
