A few easy things:

-Take the slack out of your throttle cable by the throttle body

-Do the top down while moving mod: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=138773

-Disable the A/C in defrost mode: http://www.s2katlanta.com/%7Es2katl/forum/...hread.php?t=907

-Get a security indicator

Top three are a definite must. I can't comment on the last as I have a factory alarm. Hope you enjoy the car.

That's an interesting mod, but how safe is it? I doubt that the top can withstand air resistance if I try to raise it at 75 mph ...

I think you're not supposed to do it above 60!

Not funny frankb. Someone might actually try that and **** up their top or rip their top clean off. People are really dumb, you know. I haven't done that mod yet but I understand you should keep it under 15-20.

Hopefully people will know better. you still have to raise the e-brake one click for it to work so you can't accidentally put it up or down. I've lowered and raised my top up to 30mph. I wouldn't recommend going any faster than that while doing it. It definitely helps if you're stuck in slow moving traffic and it starts to rain.
