God, I feel like such a perv. I just went to the garage, and ran my hand on the paint, and it feels like it has been clayed. Smooth as a 18 year old girls *****. Heck, my new car paints aren't as smooth.

Thanks for the comments. Now that the coilovers are ordered, couple of more things need to be done. Comments welcome

1) Wheels
2) Side markers clear (don't know how to figure this one)
3) Since I gave up on the CD changer, want to keep stock head unit, gotta figure out Ipod adapter.
4) The australian SC thread had a chrome L badge on the steering wheel, is that factory?
5) I forgot where I bought my WOOD SURROUND for the stereo, anyone know? that is the only piece I need.

That is all I can think of now. Budget was 10K to modify it. I can't find a good shop to do a full T conversion, and I haven't researched the best way to get power out of it. I want to keep it clean looking, as I have a professional job, by day

looks good, I suggest using some high grade leather cleaner/softner and you might be able to get rid of some of the leather wrinkles on the front of the driver seat. Looks like it has not had any leather treatment on it ever.

Just came home with a bottle of Lexol and saw your post. I don't think it had any treatment ever. The passenger and both rear seats did not have a SINGLE passenger ever in the car! How crazy is that!


HENRY--thanks again! Now hook me up with some trafficstars

Killing on topanga canyon? Are you high again simon? The tail came out a bit, becuase it is running grandpa tires, and I am used to slameed miata or cooper S doing 90 over there. I was barely doing 50mph

Ok, drop the check off with my parents this week!!!!!!

Did you put the 19s on the back? Tell Sarah, I said hi. When you guys coming down? Dinner on me, next time

Baoser-Thank you. I might have to do that. I was going to do the FM modulator, but everyone says they are horrible. So tapedeck might be the most reliable.
