What to do to my car today for free?
I don't have to work today, so I am bored as ****. What can I do to my car that won't cost me any money? Mods listed in sig, I removed the cruise control the other day, and I am not taking out my A/C, so what else can I do? I want to make it faster, so no "put in a sound system yo" kind of things.

Change the air in your tires. Most people don't do this until they change tires, and then its usually too late. Its a little known fact that tires wear much more frequently with "old" air in them. The old air continues to deoxidify until it begins to permeate the inner layers of rubber. Once it reaches the outer layer, it causes the rubber to have microcracks that eventually destroy the tire. I change my air every couple of months to be safe. Be sure not to use one of those cheapo air fillers either. Always use OEM Mazda.

Yeah, I changed my tire air before going the track last time and I was a full 5 seconds faster per lap. I didn't use Mazda OEM air though... I forgot what it was called but I had it imported from some tuner shop in Japan at great expense. Worth it though. I've got some left over if you want to buy it.

Mazda air is Carb II certified. The military uses it in "special' ops Hum Vees. It also improves gas mileage and makes your turbo's spool faster because of the appearant differential pressure involved that is tranferred thoughout the chassis and PPF. Guys on the 2nd gen forum swear by it.
