A few things

-installed a new air filter...The old one was used for at least 25,000mi and fairly dirty.

-Was able to find racing disks on ebay for $71 shipped...Here:Set of 4 New 15" Stainless Steel Hubcaps Hub Caps Racing Disks Free Shipping | eBay
Semi tempted to buy them. My current hubcaps are pretty dirty anyways. Just not sure how the silver will look with my car. Guess I could paint them.

EDIT: Found a picture online of a white xb with them! They look good! Going to buy a pair

-also was looking into lowering springs...The rear springs are super easy to change but, a 1.5" drop will never pay for itself in fuel economy savings.
