new radaitor
new hoses and belts
dual alternator belts

i would go with a full racing beat exhaust and gsl-se suspension with upgraded polyurethane bushings....

correct me if i'm wrong but mazdatrix sells the racing beat exhaust... and also is the 2 pipe better then the single pipe?

Lets see...

Tokico Adjustable shocks and some springs... (Your preference, I'm probably going Eibach. Racing beat is also reccomended.)

Polyurethane bushings

If you wanna go further on the handling, Sway Bar upgrades and Adjustable front camber/caster plates...

Fix that exhaust...

drippa

oh yea i forgot i got an oil cooler on the way as well to replace the pos honeycomb one

Front poly bushings, front sway bar, tokico illuminas all around, front coilovers with caster/camber plates, and a pair of rear springs.

seeing as your in NJ forget about a better carb, unless you got a hook up for inspection stickers. Think suspension.

Lets go to hooters or stilletoes <--I think thats how it is spelled. Or u can just do the suspension up.

Ditto on the suspension. PST bushings are great. I could really tell a big difference in the travel of the steering. But, if i had a Grand to spend, go for the struts/springs/bushings/swaybar. 7"wide wheels and new tires also make a HUGE difference.

drippa

Yes, i do have a way to get an inspection sticker. I was suprised that only one person recomended exhaust system. I always thought that was the first best thing to do. Of course I could be wrong, and if I am I'm sure you will all correct me.

Use that $1000 to move to Minnesota, where they never check emissions....

drippa

i'll have to think about that it might be worth it.

FL is just as close and has nicer weather plus no state income tax.
