If you are looking for a little more out of it try a BBK throttle body and some upgraded injectors, those small motors can be woke up a fair bit if you make them breathe.
Ordered that fancy funnel set Eric was going on about in his video. If anyone ever told me years ago I would be buying a $27 funnel I would have told them they were nuts.

Leasing generally involves the term under the umbrella of the factory warranty, if your mileage is going to go beyond that I would consider packing a warranty in the lease payment to limit catastrophic costs. I own all my cars outright except for one which we lease, it is replaced every two to three years and I shop frequently online to keep myself educated on the best deals and promotions, it also helps to have experience in the industry and friends in the business.
Leasing is like filling a bucket with holes in the bottom, the car companies run water for a while and when it starts to fill they shut it off, suddenly they realize the level is very low and they panic and turn it up full blast…that is the time to get in. There have been times when they are willing to make up to six of your remaining payments just to sign you up, you have to be vigilant and ready to commit when the deal is right. People think the car market is a trap but it can be profitable if you know outside influences, for example, right now if you happened to have ordered a 2015 full size land rover you could get over sticker for it from a reseller…of course you would have had to ordered it eight months ago and “who knew”Leasing generally involves the term under the umbrella of the factory warranty, if your mileage is going to go beyond that I would consider packing a warranty in the lease payment to limit catastrophic costs.

Only mods I did was a 1″ spring lowering kit after one rear spring cracked and it was cheaper to order a set of 4 Eibach lowering springs than a rear factory set.

I almost forgot about the parts stealers, had a buddy that worked in a Buick dealership years ago in sales, gets a customer on a used regal and they drive it, then the guy says the color might be a hard sell for his wife so my buddy says “go show it to her” car comes back an hour later and the guy says she won’t go for it but call him if another color shows up, he leaves and when my buddy goes to move the car the alternator light is on….opens hood to see evidence of a swap, guys phone number was bogus. Another returned core…

Once you know your mileage you have to buy accordingly and you should be fine, keep in mind when a new car leaves the lot it is paid for, either by cash, a finance company or a leasing company. A good way to look at leasing is you have paid for part of a cars life cycle and the leasing company has paid for the rest and agreed to let you keep it for a certain amount of time and miles then give it to them so they can sell it. The lease company also expects only average wear so, if after a year your cars generally look like they were lived in and parked by Braille you might not want to lease.
Lastly, get a blank contract to read over a day before you make your final deal, look for hidden fees like acquisition fees and dispossession fees, these can add up and might just tip the balance toward a traditional finance.Once you know your mileage you have to buy accordingly and you should be fine, keep in mind when a new car leaves the lot it is paid for, either by cash, a finance company or a leasing company.

Don’t go another inch before toward a lease until this number is solid. Penalty sat lease end term are between 20 and 35 cents a mile over…adds up quick. When coming up with your number consider factors like moving or job changes that will hurt your number in the future.
