Basic maintanence

Is it just me or do the cars drive better after fixing the small things? LOL

Nothing major, but I recharged my AC, replaced a high beam light, and replaced the wiper blades and it just seems like the car is more enjoyable (obviously the AC makes a huge difference).

Sometimes it's worth it to forget about that next extra hp for the moment and work on the little things that make all the difference in the world.

Now, with that said, I think it's almost time for a couple mods, lol.

Is it just low on R-134 or is there a mechanical problem? My brother's 1988 Formula was low last summer and we used the basic kit from Advanced Auto with the gauge and it still works today. That's also the kit that I used yesterday and it seemed to work great. Get the stuff with the dye in case there is a bigger leak and it also has stop leak so if the leak is very small then it might fix it for you.

Next up for me are some clear corners in the front because one of mine is broken, and adjusting the fog lights since they currently point up into the trees, lol. Would it be worth getting front and rear clear corners, or will the front's alone look ok.

I've been thinking about getting the clear corners as well. I'd do both of them.

I plan on clear coating my corners and taillights and third brake light. a little bit of tint in the clear and BAM! they look great, and a hell of a lot better than GTO tail light covers.
