I'm going to put K&Ns into it. That will be it for now. Just got it couple of days ago )). Later - if I decide to keep it for a long time - I'll think about smth.
I'd like the Supercharger - but that's like what 7-10k??

my other car has that lap belt which is easy ))))
I was talking about the front seats also....just don't like to sit on the leather in cars - it looks good - but it is totally uncomfortable (((((
Where can i find those recaros??

Cos I'm threading all the belt under the car seat ....what if I only thread the lap part under and leave the shoulder part above it ??

I love it. Nice car - seats are not comfortable though. Why do they have to put that damn leather in everything......(((( Cloth is so much better.
And leather is kinda hard.....friend has that 540, and leather is soft there.
Thinking of getting sheepskin covers - you guys know any place I can get them?
Also I have couple of questions I posted in separate thread - if someone can, please give me some answers ;-)

I haven't confirmed it, but yes, supposedly only 86 Tectite Grey '02's were imported. If your leather is hard, try Lexol leather conditioner, works great without being greasy or overly slick.
