Thanks Zandar

I hope you don't ever win an Oscar, your speech might over-run.

Actually I would like to thank all contributors, for mods, for suggestions, for ideas for threads, for contributing generally to make this a very informative forum.

We will connect the two threads together so that all the info is in the one place.

Thanks fellas.

Joe

That's free.

Does it count, as there is no value on it?

I thought it was determined that the "crush mod" was in fact a bad idea??

I'm trying to remember where I saw it, but I do recall quite a few people going "back" to the "uncrushed" version...

Do you have a link to the thread or how-to? I'm not familiar with this one, but I'll go and search for it (slow day at work; I'll post it on if I find it and it doesn't get busy!) . . .

Re: <$100 Mods

Updated with the DDMs and Kozykat's contributions.

Does anyone have links to the ones still missing links?

You know, if you do all these mods it might be more than $100 . . .

Anyone know where to buy the #235 Brass Insert manufactured by Hillman online? Because I've looked all over the hardware stores here and can't find the darn piece.
There's a full thread about this fix; I posted the details on how to find the parts and how to get it to work (see posts #28 & 33). It worked for me for about a year, then they started drooping a bit again. I recommend you try this solution instead, or do what I did: I removed the visors entirely (because they obstructed my view, even when folded up) and for those rare moments when the sun gets in my eyes (hey, I'm in Seattle here) I have a pair of sunglasses that sit on the instrument panel.

Re: <$100 Mods

I thought of some....

-K&N or STI drop in filter.....so simple nobody thought to mention?
-Red Top Optima Battery.... just nice to have... no questions, that puppys gonna crank.

-Kill Switch (under dash or otherwise) (i wish my last car had this!)
-wing removal? I did it to my last car so i guess its a mod... you gottta buff the paint and fill the holes whatnot

-Bump-stops for slammy trunks... i just put a doorknob stopper rubber near the latch to absorb some of the slam....solved the problem "don't slam the..." *WHAM!!!* "...trunk."

They all seem simple enough.. But I thought the drop in filter was crap..? Cone filter sucks in warm air or something? Is that the same?

Kill switch? Get someone to do a write up! (Like NikFu)

The doorknob stopper thing is a great idea, but I imagine that problem would be solved if you had new trunk struts..
