I still have ~$7k on it and hope to have it paid off by March if I get a good tax return and bonus from work. $7k is not too bad since I have way, way more than that in my car.

I look at it this way. The real estate market was good here in Phoenix for a few years and when I got divorced, I made enough off my last house sale to put 20% down on a smaller house for just my daughter and I and buy my used 04' for cash. So instead of a car payment I have a mod payment every month.
0% is the way to go. I see absolutely nothing wrong with putting it on a 0% card, or even 3.9%. You make at least 4.5% in a Money Market account, so it makes no sense to send anything more than the minimum to your 0% card until it is due. Just put all the money in savings and then send in your payoff at the end.

I love the credit card low interest rate offers - if you are smart you can make them work to your advantage. The reason they offer them, though, is because a majority of the people will mess up and then get hit with all the interest afterwards. You gotta pay them off or transfer them!!

The half inch spacer isn't allowing "too much air" into the manifold creating low end power loss?

Very interesting! Crawford plenum is aprox equal to 1/2" spacer correct?... I have been waiting for someone to review MREV2 w/ 1/2"... have you dyno'd?... Please elaborate - if you don't mind. I've seen a few 5/16" w/ MREV2 - but no 1/2".

Edit: damn... you're rev-up aren't you?... nevermind.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned suspension. $200 for a set of Eibachs and the car is night and day. The plenum spacer and Stillen intake did not seem like good pay backs.

^^^ I disagree... I have Stillen CAI, Z-tube, MD 1/2" spacer and Iso Thermal kit, TS ECU. Stillen sways, Eibach pros, and some other minor things.

The 1/2" spacer is probably the best bang for the buck for me.

get the spacer.

get the sways.

get a front strut tower brace.

-- so far, you're gonna feel a great return on your dollar --

if you still got cash, get a TT and everything that goes with it (intake, MREV2, exhaust, hfc, EMU, fuel return, built block).

done.
