I'm seriously thinking about a Pypes system on her when funds loosen up a bit. Did another hundred miles last night.

We'll see how she does then.
Ran into an interesting issue with her. The Ceramic pads I put on the front are dusting the wheels. That's gonna change and soon, but this is the first set out of well over 200 that I've installed that does this. Car stops well just turns the wheels black on the front. brakes aren't dragging, calipers aren't sticking but these will filthy up the wheels in 20 miles of normal driving.
A/C will be next when I get time.

Those rotors are probably a little soft, not being designed for metallic or ceramic pads.
