It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

you need to have it chromed...nobody sells the chrome covers. powder coating is the best way to do it

powder coating is the awesome super hi tech paint that is used to paint engines and brake calipoers

I actually rented Fast and Furious, I had never watched it because I knew it would be dumb. Guess what: I was right.

I was just like Point Break, except replace surfing with racing...and replace decent acting with pathetically horrible acting...and replace bank robbing with dvd player hijacking, and replace dead president masks with black honda civics....anyway...

Boy those quarter mile races seem to take a long time... and being that the movie was about racing, there wasn´t all that much of it, and nearly no talk about engines etc.

I don´t think that I will make it out to see 3Fast Bi-Curious, or whaver the new one is going to be called...

What I love about F&F movies is the high speed shifting, it's like they have 12 gears or something. They just keep shifting!

Magnecor wires are good wires. I got the 8mm ones and a set of four prong NGK plugs, as opposed to the stock one prong. Better throttle response, stronger pull, smoother. I like them. The real power comes from chrome though. It works like a solar panel and gives about 100 more horespower at the wheels....just kidding.

By the way your car looks nice...keep it clean..drop it, work on the engine...and don't ruin it.
