No need to strip the interior... Just need to spend money wisely on proven products...

Sometimes you gotta be blunt, to many people think because its "aftermarket" then it must make you go faster. People ask HP or track times and put up lists of "mods" and 80 percent of the mods are worthless.

What rpm are you launching at? Lighter flywheels have their pros and cons. Also, I don't know much about the Centerforce II, but it sounds like too much clutch for your setup. Then, as stated, the 16's aren't helping.

damn wussy man, my EK hatch doesnt have power steering, and i can make 0mph turns fine. do some curls jk

and whoever said Vpower>iridiums...prolly hasnt tried them both.

because i bought both sets to see myself which worked out better, i noticed i idled better with the iridiums...i also have the iridium wires.

better than the vpower. and my mpg went up...not sure if i was driving all that different so the results on the MPG was really inconclusive

So basically you have no conclusive evidence, just subjective observations? My mpg fluctuates all the time, sometimes by as much as 3mpg.

I'm not saying one's better than the other, but iridiums aren't worth the extra cost.

Eh, it's just the placebo effect. You'll be perfectly fine with V-powers.

Plus, you can take all the money you saved and treat yourself to a Happy Meal.
