Before I head to the track in dec. I'm gonna do a bunch of stuff.
New rubber for my track tires
Front motor mount (at least 40k on the existing one)
Fuel filter (possibly never changed before)
Water pump (pre-emptive strike. Using rebuilt Vertex unit w/metal impeller)
Swapping the green coolant for the less corrosive red Porsche variant
Under drive pulley & new shorter serpentine belt to match
Low temp thermostat (should be helpful in south Texas)
Install short shift kit I've had for 5+ years sitting in garage
Put in shims in brake pads to stop clacking when I reverse and squealing
The last one is just a thought as to why I have noises...
I'm also going to ask my mechanic to find and eliminate the metal rattle in the top mechanism coming from the drivers side and the pop! that I hear when I lower the top on occasion.
