rattles fixed and improved acceleration...

Well, It's about time, I disassembled the rear seat backs and cushions, took out the rear deck and 3rd brakelight as well as the spare. took everything else loose out from the car like the manual and any money, e-z pass, etc...
fixed the rattle wich was a piece of broken plastic in the 3rd brake light and I'm gonna get the rear area dyno matted for sound insulation. everything is still out and I took her for a ride.

I felt a little faster and almost chirped in 3rd! felt a big improvement, when I used to hit 70 on a road, I hit 80. I also ha dthe stock wheels on too.

It's funny how much better a car can feel quality wise when you hit a bump and there aren't any rattles... now about those squeaky seats.

My car lost like 80lbs and It was nice and cold over here today. I started her up and she was shifting crisp, I didn/t chirp into third, but it did feel like the wheels almost broke loose, either way, I felt a difference.
