I agree it helps with maintenance. I painted mine and found a broken caliper bolt in the process. NEVER would have noticed it otherwise, that is , until pad would need replacement or caliper breaks off and brake system fails, whichever occured first.

I have it on good authority this will only be effective if the rear hatch is open.

Loose the rear hatch and call it a mini-truck with buttresses.

you guys are forgetting some of the most important power mods!
first of all, some inoperable air scoops will give you MAD boost son. Start with the hood, then the roof, and then wherever you can find space.

Add a 50-shot of nitrous by slapping a NOS window sticker on, a 100-shot with a NOS decal on the side.

Find the biggest rear wing you can, the bigger it is the faster you'll go. THERES NO LIMITS!

Oh and chrome is an automatic 10hp, anywhere.

The bigger the fart can, the more it propels you forward.

and of course, neon lights have a special plasma-propulsion effect. Put them everywhere you can. (I honestly had a friend who told me neons make you faster... needless to say I havent talked to him in quite a while)

That should get you started.

Actually, I just bought a Dellorto with manifold, and it's already plumbed for nitrous... I just need the solenoids, bottle, and I guess the "go baby go" button, and I'm straight.

NAWS, ya'll!!!

yeah nitrous is NOT ricey, but having stickers but no bottle IS. I'm looking to get a nitrous set up on my car too. I'm waiting for one of those plates
