Pickin' up my 5kcstq on Sunday--thanks to all who gave me checklists and problem areas!! It greatly helped my search. Anyhoo... 1. Valve gasket needs replacing--is there a "better" than OEM available or even necessary? I know there are some aftermarket hi-tek gaskets of neoprene and what not. 2. Can I switch to synthetic oil? I'm concerned because in my old Jeep I switched, and it aggravated oil leaks bigtime. I think because of the crappy seals. 3. Driver's side door map pocket--anyone have one? No big whoop. 4. I'll need good performance + wet weather tires (on OEM rims). Any suggestions? I'm staying away from Blizzaks and the like because of their 'grippy' compounds--it's overkill for L.A. When I go snowboarding, it's only snowy for about the last 20 miles, the rest would be rain. Aquatreds perhaps? 5. Some have e-mailed me already saying 'chipping' it is a good idea. Ya sure 'bout dat? I live in CA where the C.A.R.B. is the performance nazi, so anyone know of reliable chips that are legal? Other legal performance goodies? 6. Brake & suspension upgrades. Interested, but I'm not a racer, it's pretty much a daily driver, don't want the Lowered Honda Jiggle. Once again, thanks for all the pre-purchase responses! What a great list--now I'm a participant.
