This is the advice I give to those who asked me about what they should get..

HKS twinpower to smooth out your ignition. I would get this even if your car is stock. I don't recommend any other ignition systems.

Not a fan of premix in the tank if you are streeting your FD.

Hope some of these helps.

Cool another toy to play with HKS twinpower must.... research....now...and..buy...

LOL yeah it's true I'm a little OCD with this car but it's a better habbit than some others. As for the PFC I would'nt get it for the gas mileage but as you said to protect the motor and to make her run as smooth as silk which is one of my favorite traits of this car.

Premix??? Pettit claims something like 30% longer engine life with their fuel lub so I figure Eh.. who knows but it's worth the peace of mind I get when I do decide to listen to the buzzer.

Right now I've got like 80k on the original motor and she doesnt lose a drop between 2k dino oil changes. I'm torn between seeing how long she will go and moving forward with a street port rebuild and power FC at the same time. I've heard rebuild early and save the cost of new rotors so I'm hoping I can see a sign before it's time like slow starting, a big drop in gas mileage, or perhaps a little smoke??? not sure

Now time to research twin power.
Thx

I was thinking the reduced exhaust restriction, colder/better flowing intake, reduced resistance "air pump removal aluminum drive pulleys", fresh plugs, wires ect less weight air pump removal lighter battery and exhaust, would all help efficiency/mileage???

I was thinking at least up to 18 average from 16.

im getting a bad 13 miles per gallon. bro thats bad ! i changed the oil and im about to get the o2 sensor any improvement after running it the car couple times.
