I haven’t much touched the car since I bought it other than typical old car maintenance items (for the most part, I like doing all of my own work), so I’ll be kind of interested to see the comments it generates on it’s current state. Sometimes I want to leave it alone, other times I’m ready to do a few minor things to it.

For a little more about Autoblog, as far as I know it’s one of the most popular blogs about cars out there (each entry seems to generate tons of comments) and most gearheads who are also interweb nerds seem to read it. As for me, I’ve loved cars as long as I can remember and have owned at least two at a time for the past 8 years or so.

It’s something I’ve considered starting over Christmas break, but I don’t even want to think about how much sprilla I’ll need to lay out just to do new a suspension, brakes, and replacing all of the various rubber bushings with polyurethane ones. That and it’s also a good time to upgrade the rear end if I plan on doing any sort of Hybrid Z action…

Really I have home projects that I need to get done before I start building-up another car, but I’ve had the itch to do some wrenching again lately.

Yesterday I picked-up a set of AGX struts with Eibach springs already attached.. that should certainly fix the soggy suspension problems. Today I picked-up an HKS SSBOV from Ron Nelson, our local DSM Rally Guru. Even had a chance to sit behind the wheel of his beast– good stuff.

Next on the list.. whatever I see come across that is cheap, or alternatively I’ll start ordering parts for the bottom end of the car.. I’ll probably order the Eagle Rods first.
