How's the Weather ?
I was pondering the other day while it was so humid my hair went into instant friz puff...Are there certain modifications that will benefit people more that are in a more hot humid enviroment as opposed to a dry one?

Well, turbochargers are great for different pressures. The turbo can spool more easily when its moving less dense air (low pressure / higher altitude). You just set the wastegate a little higher and run more boost and the car will run like it was at sea level.
Truckers who travel hilly areas, or who cross mountain states do this alot to keep fuel economy up.
Of course, this is one of your more expensive mods smile.gif

As for the weather, I can't think of anything you should have to worry about except for checking your Wipers, keeping your fluids full and clean, and check your tire wear and condition.

There really are no "modifications" you can make to help your car deal with "humid" air vs "dry" air.
Adding Gel to your hairdo should help keep Frizz in check. Stay away from hairspray, it will absorb moisture from the air, and you will still get friz, and eventually it will go flat in areas.
