    I like this thread idea!

    Definitely:
    • New Wheels and Tires
    • Install TB/WP that are sitting in my room
    • Change the Tranny/Diff fluid which is also in my room
    • Buy an Exhaust

    Hopefully:
    • Buy a Wheel/Hub/QR
    • Find a seat that I fit well in
    • Get my car back into Autocross condition

    Get it running and install all the parts that have been laying around for months. It's sat so long and I haven't done anything that it almost makes me depressed for real.

    My plans were little on this car for awhile. I spent a ton of money on my last car and decided to just be chilled out with this one. I do however plan to maybe boost it down the road, thinking Supercharged over turbo, last car was SC and I loved the whine. Plus SC should get me in the HP range I want, doesn't take much with a small car to be quick. So other then that I want to get exhaust manifold and full exhaust, trying to track down a Borla dual tip sport muffler, decided thats what I want.

    Other plans

    New gauges(cluster)
    Lowering
    nice set of wheels
    HIDs

    not much

    Ha, the rims are out until next year. So far all coolant hoses/radiator + direzzas + alignment, has been done. Still need to install the frame rails that have been collecting dust for a year, and get the car ready to pass emissions.
    96 Montego, replacing a 95M... I miss: My running peeps in Tampa, running barefoot @ Clearwater Beach and First Choice BBQ, in Brandon. In So Cal I miss: The Malibu Canyons, CA 33 and In & Out Burgers ! I'm from Tampa, if I was from Tampa Bay, I'd be a fish!

    3.63 Gears hopefully soon (having trouble sourcing the speedo gear)
    get smogged so I can throw 650cc injectors in and finish the tune
    more aggressive alignment, since I picked up a daily
    Car should be much easier to autox after these

    want, but depends on leftover budget
    awr sway bar brackets + 1.125 RB front bar
    frog arms or garagestar fender braces
    add spot welds to door/a pillar area
    go higher spring rates maybe

    Money/sponsors permitting since my money is tied up with staying alive:

    1. New diff bushings
    2. New motor mounts
    3. body repairs
    4. New paint
    5. New top
    6. Transmission rebuild
    7. Stage 2 cooling
    8. Intake
    9. engine bay redo/clean up
    10. Possible minor engine rebuild (just small stuff, seals etc)


    My car is in a sad state right now. I inherited a beat up miata...
