when i was looking at the car the guy told me "the headlights are pretty weak. you might want to upgrade them". this am i turned them on in the garage. well he was right. is windex an upgrade? i bet they hadn't been cleaned in years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . who knew the fan emblem on the heater/fresh air panel lit up when you trun the lights on? i didn't.

here's another. i was very disappointed with the "lack" of top end. the car has those thick/plush carpeted floor mats with "porsche" in red on them. while vacuming the car yesterday i noticed they were over the pedal stop adjust screw. out came the utility knife. i cut a little x and pushed the mat down to expose the stop. almost 1/2 more pedal travel. i told jeanne i tinkered with the car and that i thought it made a dif. she gave it a go and was amazed. she thinks i'm some kind of mechanical wizzard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Something else to do is make sure that with the pedal all the way down it actually opens the throttle the whole way. One of the classic problems is that you actually cannot attain Wide Open Throttle because the cable has stretched over the years and now only opens part way. It's easy to adjust.
