Get another oil change and use Mobil1 5w30, that should help.

Well, first thing's first... Get rid of the stock Air Intake and install a K&N, if $160.00 is not "alot" buy a cold air pipe, Weapon R makes one... Me? I just removed the stock intake, installed a K&N and ran a piece of PVC pipe (3" dia?) down to the bottom of the engine compartment. K&N filters run about $40.00 2) Get a strut tower brace, it's quite possibly one of the best things to do for your car if you arent constantly going straight (if you were, you could just buy a train) This should be abotu $60.00 3) Consider some new wires, Magnacore makes them, as does nology. nology has a whole replacement kit (wires/plugs/ignition "thingy", I am ignorant of the nomenclature here). This is not cheap, but bang for the buck, it is probably a good deal 4) Some new springs, Eibach has a kit that hovers around $200... I am thinking that I am gonna go the extra mile and get tokico's for mine, tho Exhaust mods are pricey, but nice... expect to pay about $400ish for Brospeed headers and about $600ish for a cat-back from the same manufacturer hope this helps -johnny (std disclaimer, Merrill Lynch is not responsible for anything I say or do... blah blah blah)
