I've never seen anyone say why it's like that, but you are not alone.

fwiw - My kaa already had a gold carbon-fiber kit installed in the interior when I bought it from my neighbor...which included both vent covers - lol

I'm up to 111,000 miles now & still haven't opened the motor yet **as I go knock on wood...**

As long as the motor lasts until I replace the stock suspension in a few weeks, it's all good...I'll have an excuse to upgrade then!

my car which I just got has 20000 on it and I hope to put well over 10000
in the time I own it which I plan on 10 plus years. I will change the oil religiously and plan to leave it bone stock but the more I read the more
I am considering building a all motor performer but I will not sleeve the block
maybe cams I/H/E and possibly a computer upgrade. maybe a CTR piston
upgrade to go with the cams. I wonder if the head will flow enough with
the higer compression pistons and bigger cams?
