    Michelin v Bridgestone which one??

    I have been very happy with the BS RE760 but they are starting to wear a bit now and only have a few thousand miles left on them, so I am looking at changing them and want an A/S tire since I live in the NW and weather is wet and a bit snowy in the winters. :rolleyes:

    Accufab 75mm throttlebody/plenum

    I went with BBK 75mm TB/Plenum combo + K&N cold air kit and really felt a seat of the pants difference and throttle response improved too as noted in other posts. It also changed the sound of the car for the better :D

    knocking + rough idle + fuel smell=?

    Hi, Didn't see any type of leaks and it felt like it was running on half of the cylinders. When I said rough I meant it was barely holding a spark and knocking like crap.

Sorry to hear about the wife thing! more 0-60 without the wife moaning at...
