Dedicated to improving gas millage, by any means! EVERYONE POST I know this has been discussed many times over the years, but with gas prices constantly rising...I'm guilty of considering a VW TDI for an alternate car. I love my ES, but can't stand the 26.7mpg per tank... Comon' its a 4cyl...

I have a Gemini composites R/C hood for about 2 years now and around January this year I started to notice cloudiness (white discoloration) right over where the engine would be. It was buffed out with 3M compound. And I waxed it 3+ times a year with Carnauba wax (was recommended once a year with...

My right headlight recently went out but it still worked with highbeams. Ok, so I figured my Osram Silverstars were kicked (I've had them for over a year, don't quite remember how long). I went to replace them with the old stock ones and the right headlight still wasn't working but was with...

How come DGM or someone else doesn't make a carbon fiber upper window spoiler like Wings West used to make (non-CF)? I'd buy it so quick if it was available!! Anyone else have a intrest to get this made? Help me out...get something going...

Gemini Customs Reverse Cowl, FI EVO VII, or DGM Ram Air hood on BLACK ES?? POST PICS! So my big decision is weather to get the Gemini Customs Reverse Cowl CF hood, Fiber Images CF EVO VIII, or DG Motorsports CF Functional Ram Air Hood. I would get black mesh.. I have an 02' black mica...

I am a newbie to suspension by the way.. I want to drastically lower my 2002 mp ES but I want to also be able to bring it back up to stock height easily (to avoid scraping my car constantly as my friends do, it being my daily driver and all...because its rough around here..). I am planning on...
