So a cool trick I found out last night, not sure if any else has tried it. Bet the autocross guys would like it.

Put your seatbelt on. Snap it into place. Tighten the seatbelt by pulling the shoulder part up. It will pull you down to the seat. Pinch the lap portion of the belt with the chest portion of the belt at the buckle to "keep the setting". Keep it pinched and unbuckle the seat belt. Now twist the seat belt at the buckle about three times. Now force the buckle back in until it snaps.

This really kept me from sliding all over the place in the seat.

It sounds similar to the technique in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30892

But I like the extra "twist". (Do you see what I did there?)

I think you're right about the tune. The exhaust sounds great at idle, but pretty quiet at wot.

That's real fair; they retail for $60. I was going to ask $40.

Well just start looking around you for self wash that are power washed driven. That's all I use and then wip it down while drying off with meguiars quick detail and only using MF towels and a shammy that's made out of MF
