As for future things. I plan on doing small things here and there. Maybe replacing the speakers since there are kind of messed up from being in the car with some mold when it use to leak 4 years ago, but the big things are
1. Get a bossfrog double hoop rollbar like in this photo "Sorry who ever this photo belongs to I just found it on google"
2. Get a better shock and spring combo. I am running 143,000 miles on stock. I am thinking of either buying a package like the FM stage 1 or buying parts separately like the koni yellows on fm springs with fat cat bump stops and maybe some isc rear top hats.
3. replace all the suspension bushings. I have read that it is a good idea to do from quite a few different sources. I just dont know which ones to get yet. Ill probably do this the same time that I do the shocks for ease.
4. Get some new tires. Right now on my bbs rims I have some wanli chinese tires in the front that are not that great in the rain and are very noisy. In the meantime Ill be running my other rims until I can afford better tires. The tires of choice for me will probably be the 195-50-15 Yokahama s drives.
5. The last thing i would like to do would get the car painted. Not just taking it to mako or some other not so great place but getting a real quality paint job. Someone that actually takes pride in their work and that will actually take off the bumper and what not. Not just masking off areas. Only problem is that I know this will be expensive but I think well worth it.
That should be it, but I am sure there will be lots of other things ill do here and there.

Well today i went online to advanced auto parts and bought new ngk spark plugs and wires. if you look online there are all sorts of coupons for online. i think i used the one if you spend $50 Then take $25 off. The total came to $52 before the coupons so i ended up spending $30 total. Not bad for new plugs and wires.
Anyway the car feels much better now. It feels smoother through its revs. I like it and would recommend it if it has not been done in a long while.

On thursday I found out that my economics teacher is a miata enthusiast. We were talking for a while, and he ended up giving me his old shift knob that was a pistol type. It is pretty nice. Ill post up some pics tomorrow. I just have to drive with it and see how it is.

They other day my mom drove my car and destroyed my front lip. She parked to meet us for lunch and when we switch cars so I can go home I realize what my mom did. She parked a drive the front lip into a parking space and stayed parked there for an hour. The lip cracked and bent. I ha to get some super glue an glue it, then let it dry and then tried to sand it down. I also bolted up through more holes on the lip so it would maintain a batter shape. Here is a pic. The super glue and sand method made it look quite all right now.
Now it is fine and you have to look very hard to notice it.

Nice progress so far! How do you like the Axxis pads overall? That's pretty cool that your teacher's a roadster enthusiast too
