  • Time to make the doughnuts....
they help make your brakes feel awesome.

i recommend them.  i put them on my car with every thing else and they have great pedal feel.
The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

Do you have a suggestion of a good place to buy them?  I stopped by NAPA and they did not have them, they only carry the regular ones.

YAY, after a couple of hours of looking I found an article I once saw on how to chop a Beetle with a sunroof and keep the sunroof functional  ;D

Uber gratzie!  Glad to see everything came out all right!  (and everyone as well!!!!)  little nurse humor there...
Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?
