Assuming you start with a good synthetic it should always be a better performer than a natural oil. Natural oil is a distilled product made from crude oil. So invariably it does not have a uniform composition. The molecules that comprise the natual oil will have varying length of carbon rings I believe the range is around C15-C35. Anyway as some of the oil is burned off by the engine the composition of the oil will change so by the time you get your oil changed it has changed quite a bit from the original composition. Synthetic formulas on the other hand should be more uniform overall and should see less degredation from heat. So oil filters being equal the synthetic should give a longer more consistent protection.

Here is what comes to mind:

Carbon Fiber Hood
Alloy Rims 17'

I wondered about the axles though is there a substitute for stock axles that would make for a reduction in weight?

Some people have described ripping out the rear carpet and adhesive what did you finish it with to make your vehicle not look craptastic?

Anyother less obvious things that can be swapped for weight reduction?

coolieos yeah one think I liek about the car is that its quiet id rather not sound like a chainsaw rally:)

well i dont want to break the bank but I would spend up to a couple grand on it. Its just getting irritating having old ladies dust me pulling away from stop lights:)

Howdy howdy,

First time posting here I apologize if I noob it up. I've got a 1994 Celica ST i believe with an automatic transmission. Im looking for some tweaks to boost the acceleration, it seems a little sluggish. I live in Hawaii so im not trying to make a top end powerhouse I just want something that will go from 0-60 or 80:) a bit quicker than now. My car is completely stock with zero mods to it at this point.

I am completely non mechanical and theres no way the wife will allow me to put nitrous in the car so this has to be something I can pay someone to install:) !


Thanks in advance!
