Well, Dad pulled the ac power for me today. I was about to do it but he just did it. Haha. So now I can use my defrost vent for heat, which I preferred.

Shift kit was a failure as far as I can tell. teamzx2.com forums always said resistor hot and my always stayed cold, so I'm assuming it didn't do anything. Going to try to just wire it straight in and see what that does.

It's shifting terribly in to the last gear. 45 mph and 2500 rpm where as on a good day about 41 and 2000 rpm.

Trying a different route to school that is about a mile further but I think I'll use less gas because I don't have to stop and go quite so many times. Going to compare for the next week and get some averages though.

I think I might pass on the block heater. It just seems like too much work to save that little bit on gas. The car is already at about 50-60 f in the garage.

Still have to remove upper resonator on air intake and replace that. But need another part or two. Try to do that tomorrow I suppose.
