Spring cleanup- mods and new stuff...

Its finally done - my car has been painted Viper blue, no stripes. I removed all door trim. As to many of your dismay, I did not pull the engine and paint in the bay, mainly b/c I am 17, in school, work 35hrs/wk, and it would cost too damn much... I also have great looking Eagle Alloys 14" 5 spoke rims. Pics will come soon.

Directfreak - you mentioned gsl-se 's flood easily b/c the injectors leak down... how can I change this? Also, how do I know if my actuators are working properly?

What are the cheapest decent quality rear shocks for a gsl-se - should I go to Canadian Tire??
WHen it warms up some more, I will try the ATF treatment, hopefully free up some more power, and run full synthetic oil.

don't run synthetic! your rotary will hate you for it! rotaries are designed to burn a little oil, and synthetic doesn't burn as well as ancient dino juice. plus, synthetic is far too expensive for what it really is. it's not THAT much better than regular oil. at $5 a quart, that stuff should be adding 10hp and making me coffee in the morning!

I would do a search about synthetic oil. Apparently you shouldn't use it because it doesn't burn properly, and the rotary needs to burn a bit of oil. But think of how much money you'll save.
