Guys/Gals

Keep posting in this thread but please create your own topic first for mods and then paste a link to it.  That way we can go back and enjoy the ease of the search and find to see what you have done to your Kappa.  

JonyMac did it with his Backup mod and shabby did with his tuning mod.  

I agree, I don't think many people actually read this thread.

This has sorta become a fun thread full of nonsense with an occasional burst of brilliance.  Those need to be referenced here and then generate their own thread just like DB recommended.

changed the oil with out lifting the car. Just used  3 feet of extensions a low profile pan and bada bing. Should have thought of that years ago. the oil pan bolt is in a perfect place for this.

I bought one of those quick oil drain valves, but i still have to lift the car to reach it! This is a better idea!

I agree, I don't think many people actually read this thread.

I do.  I don't normally respond, but I do enjoy getting an email with a nice summary on what someone did.
For me, it's a nice way to get ideas on what to do to the Sky without having to search and/or read a detailed explanation.

I think it's a good idea to create the separate detailed threads.  Keeps this one clean and then gives you the option to check out something you liked.
Nice and Streamlined

Went for a ride to my brother's near Bushnell, Fl. There are actually a few twisties on the way and in the vicinity of his place. Got hit by a piece of tire on my way home. Haven't had a chance to look at it well, will do so tomorrow. Looks like there may be a dimple in the bumper. :banghead:

Enough to drive all of us absolutely nuts. Actually I would never have had to deal with it except for the Nissan Altima that decided at the last minute that it had to be in my lane. If I hadn't been right on his bumper it would probably have taken out the windshield.
