I installed a new exhaust setup that's a lot quieter and a lot less drone in the interior.
Drivability went from loud abnoxious to calm and mellow. A very pleasant drive now I'm not drawing attention of every LEO in a 10 mile radius.
Adjusted the brakes again and it's a nice firm pedal and not a total wheel lockup when you push hard on the brakes.
Also repacked the wheel bearings while I was at it.
Installed my auto meter gauges so I know what my engines vital signs are. Temp,oil psi, voltage. I hated relying on idiot lights hoping they even worked correctly. Cruising down the road at a cool 160* stopped at drive thru and idled for about 15 mins the temp rised to about 195* and leveled off.
It feels like a whole new car with just a few hours work. I think I'll drive her to work tomorrow because I feel so much better about the car than I ever have.
