my dad is leaving for the Phillies(Phillipines) for a month, what should i do to the car to surprize him ... hahahahaa... i was thinking a new tint and CAI .... or maybe fix the alignment (when i let go of the steering wheel it turns to the left a tad bit, can i do that myself?)... so any suggestions??

When I was younger, my dad appreciated it when I cleaned the car up for him - wash & wax. Ah, the good old days.

You can't do the alignment at home. Leave that to a reputable shop with the proper equipment.

Yeah, go to a local auto shop for the alignment. $40-50. You'd need a $1000 dollars or so to be able to do it yourself. I'd get a tint lol, besides paint or wheels (which is too expensive), tint would be the most noticeable.

I haven't seen my dad since early January and probably won't see him for a while. I'm sure he'll complain about my car now when he sees it. Two things that he'll complain about are the car being "too low" and too loud. Maybe your dad's different and he might not complain about your car being "too low" or too loud. :D Have fun and good luck doing whatever you're doing.

oh thanks mayn... actually my dad likes the loud music... he sometimes plays old 70s and 80s music when he goes somewhere... verry funny... and sometimes ebarassing. how much is it to lower my car, and how many inches should it be lowered?

well since you're dad is leaving for a month, you should wash it a day or two before he comes back. therefore, it'll be all clean and shiny. i don't know when he's coming back, but if you wash it too early it'll get dirty again anywayz!! but hey, how thoughtful of you..just don't do any creative painting...ha..a

i was wondering that too ! ? why would i get a 2.0L engine ( B20 ) if i can get the same power for 1.6L ( B16 ) ? is it easier to install ?

because it is not the same power the b20 reaches 160 long before the b16 but high end horsepower is not what matters it is the extra 30 ft/lbs of torque that makes the b20 far superior.

Sounds like something my dad would complain about! :lol He also questions every preformance part i buy! "why can't you just drive it and be happy?" he always says...

I was talking to a friend today about putting rims on my car and maybe a short ram. He (my dad) just said its a waste, his car will always be faster, but I can always try and make it look better and maybe some day it will increase the speed of it.
