        You can still add, engine/tranny mounts, shifter rebuild, guibo, brake lines, gaskets (if anything is leaking) to the mix .

            haha...this thread reminds me about the 1st time I crawled under my car...
            I decided not to change a thing btw....but if you just see my bushings...You're gonna laugh your ass off.

            no record of timing-belt yet either (135k miles)...
            So I guess I'm driving till something gives!!

            PS on the positive side....it's time for a oil change when it hits 136...lol

              Good advice. I wish I had gone with coil overs now..

                  Yes! I'm working on it man - got most of the interior put back together. The system freaking rocks! I finally quit being scared to turn it up and holy hell can it go loud!
