zhy's progress followup [student budget!]

[zhy]

seafoamed the car this week
car performs slightly better, but nothing outstanding
ill have to buy another can perhaps!

Seafoam is NOT a power adder.All seafoam does is clean out the gunk inside your engine and injectors.
This will do nothing more than restore any horsepower/fuel economy you have lost.

Immaculate protege5... exactly how I want mine to look someday

Bought a jack / jack stands today to try & install my own msp axleback.. WRONG
the bolts were so damn rusted up that the garage i went to needed to crack out the acetylene torch.. not good
anyways, i love the deep grohl of my new msp exhaust, pics to come!
