Default Tune up complete

I've had my 99' for a little over a week now. Just finished a tune up and am happy with the improvements. The car has 85,000 on it. I just replaced plugs and wires, K&N airfilter, Oil change, Trans flush, Radiator flush, Diff. fluid change, new pads and rotors up front. I painted the calipers while I was at it, they turned out very nice. I also did a little sound deadening. Good thing I had most of the week of of work. All in all I'm glad I have the peace of mind that all of this maintenance is done and I know it was done right. The car runs just a hint better now, is a little quieter, and stops a lot smoother. It's been a fun week getting acquianted with the car. Next it's time for some exhaust, wheels and tires, lower it, and some tint on the windows.
