    Water/Methanol Injection, anyone??

    A claim of nearly 50% fuel economy increase with water injection is thermodynamically impossible. Water injection can in certain instances reduce power as water is not combustible and thus does not contribute to the heat output of the engine. Methanol is mixed with water to negate this affect...

    replacement door handle trips

    I've found out the trips aren't the weak link, rather the catches bind up due to wearing out/dirt accumulation which causes stress on the door handle assembly. A bad catch will break even a new door handle quickly.
