Yeah those xterras are brutal. I'm going to try drafting on my trip home I started doing that the other day and I gained 5 in hg on my vacuum gauge. So we will see how that goes. But no I agree with you guys some thing small simple and standard. Yeah that is the one thing that bugs me with the Hondas is the gearing. I think the states threatened to nuke japan again if they made too good of a car. True or not I sill believe there's some sort of conspiracy behind it. What are some of the mods that are good to start off with and do right away?
