I'm already doing this.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the car also seems to want to die
when I engage the clutch. It feels like a load is being applied to the
engine when the clutch is engaged, but that doesn't make any sense to
me. Engaging the clutch should remove load from the motor.

I have not had any trouble with pinging before a few days ago. The
operating temp of the engine has not really changed, it pretty much
stays at 85 unless I sit in traffic for long periods. But my drive to
work is less than 4 miles and that almost never happens.

It's possible that the car may be running lean. I have yet to use the
Colortune that I borrowed from Sergio. Hopefully it will fix the
problem. I do not believe my throttle shafts are leaking, the fit is
very tight.

Where can I get higher wattage bulbs? What's the wattage of the stock
bulbs?
