Minor upgrades

Finally upgraded the front suspension and it's totally night and day. The car can corner and doesn't bottom out when we both sit in it. Rides about 3 inches higher now as well. Had to drive to the pick-a-part in Kelowna and picked up the shocks and springs for $25 each.

Also got some sort of pipe that is meant for the vacuum system, though nobody knows what it does. I think it measures exhaust pressure, and the car seems to run better. Picked up some proper headrests from a scrapyard in Vernon as well, $15 each.

So nice to be able to lean my head back.

Need new rotors to stop the car from shaking. It will cost about $100 though. Still, we will likely do this before we leave anyway.
