What do you have for mods thus far? Trans? Long term plans? What type of low budget?

Don't remove your back seats. It is totally un-nessessary for a daily driver unless you really really want to. Yes it makes your car "lighter" but 50 pounds on a car to reduce aint jack. you'd be worse off filling your tank a quarter of the way full for compensation. If anything find some lighter aftermarket rims

On the synthetic oil, make sure you got good gaskets, it WILL find a leak if ya got one... Other than that, its a pretty good "upgrade"

Outta curiousity, why you not like the pulleys?

Because most catalogs advertise the silver/chrome ones and everytime he orders one, he gets the black ones LOLOL
