I've been driving it as is for a little bit before I start changing anything and I'm really liking the car. I think that 5th gear really makes a difference in my commutes, I go to school 5 times a week the drive is about 50 miles there and back. I try to go 55 but a lot of people will get on you for going 55 mph. So I've been compromising I try not to go above 60 and at 60 mph I'm barely at 2000 rpm. It's easily making a difference in the high speed part of my commute.
I haven't got around to taking off the mudflaps yet, but I think even before that I might go with bumping up the tire pressure. I'm not too keen on body mods, I think at most I'd do a full/partial grillblock and I've been looking into underbody paneling as my friend has done so on his car. That's in the future though. The grillblock might be more likely as winter is coming.
