AIV (old filters - my AIV is removed)
AIV system often pulls in water which clogs and deteriorates the filters and ruins the reed valves, also causing the GURGLING sound.

 

POSITIVE (12v) BATTERY CABLE REPLACMENT
Your stock battery cables could very well look like this if not cared for properly.
TIP: Use a Zip Tie and Long Hose Pliers to help when reinstalling rear-engine 10mm bolt

 

RACK BUSHINGS (pics of the product)
Many people suffer poor steering/response because of worn rack bushings. My stock bushings actually looked about perfect, but now I'll never have to replace them.
TIP: Get "the long bolt" before trying to install -- then you can replace the long bolt after a couple days with the stock bolt.

 

FRONT, ADJUSTBLE UPPER CONTROL ARMS
Upper adjustable control arms allow for front camber control.
(eBAY purchase - they look identical to recent offering on CourtesyParts.com)
TIP: Make sure your alignment shop tightens the lock collars after adjustment

 

BALANCE TUBE (freshly painted)
Painting any item in your engine bay requires removal of original paint, light sanding (for adhesion), primer, and high-temp paint. Easy job, but can take some time.
TIP: Mask end of barbs so paint won't stick to inside of hoses
