Tastefully tailor the car to me and my driving style. It has had some fabspeed exhaust work done. Next I'm mulling over a shortshift. Currently I'm only taking it to work once/week. My goal is to ideally drive it 3-4 days/week while keeping it nearly pristine. When/if this motor goes, then I'll seriously consider a Raby big HP motor to maintain my permagrin or perhaps get a freakish permasmile

I would love learn everything there is to know about these motors, but probably even better would be if my 2.7L lasted 150k miles and I never had to take a wrench to it.


EDIT: Also mulling over cross-drilled rotors when the time is right, need to research the benefits of various rotors. Maybe a second set of rims.

EDIT2:

To Do List:

1) Change Oil (done 5/20/10) ($80)
2) Replace brake pads
3) Clear headlights (remove yellowing) ($5 for Novus)
4) Short throw shifter ($250)
5) Cross-drilled rotors
6) Painted Calipers ($15)
7) ISMR/Clutch (probably paying the experts for this) ($1600)
8) replace 2 wheel center crest emblem ($80)
9) Techno torque 2 install ($265)
10) Underdrive pulley install ($225)
11) Serpentine belt replacement
12) Lighten the car - take 100 lbs off car- (remove old amp, old cd changer, possibly keep spare at home; FREE)
13) Lighten the driver - but not replacing thedriver - working on dropping 15lbs (FREE)
14) Maybe upgraded front lip under my GT3 bumper

Done:
Fabspeed Goodies ($5000)
New sound system ($750)
Aero Kit: GT3 bumper, skirts, spoiler ($4580)
Weathershield HP cover ($290)
