Hanra...I tried that but it only gave me 5 hp per K&N sticker rather than the qouted 5.01 hp. I was rather dissappointed. I trust supercheap auto as they obviously know what they are talknig about. I was told that a moster tacho, going to 10,000 rpm will actually let you do 10,000 as the stock GT or LS one only went to 8,000 thus limiting the engine to that. So forget ur lightening and balancing the quickest and cheapest way to go high rpm is with moster tacho, and for less damage to syncro's get a shift light. Red shift lights are faster than green ones though, that must me remebered.

Yeah same about respect, although when i cruise in the big yellow mercedes as my mini has something crucial missing such as fuel tanks or steering rack while i'm fixing it, i get 100% respect. I think people think, "oh crap it's a big mercedes, with p-plates...i betta back off!" in the mini people jsut come right up behine and get angry that they are behind a small car and have no respect for classic cars on the road.

In the 'thirsty merc' everytime i indicate to change lanes people give me space, when i indicate to change lanes in the mini people move to block you for some reason so you jsut floor it and move in anyways even tho it pisses them off heavily but it is illegal to deliberately block asomeone while they are trying to change lanes, not mention rude annoying!
