where to buy tune up parts?
won 1000 on poker and i want to do a full tune up on my car instead of just coolant, oil, and spark plugs. the only problem is i dont know what to buy. i dont know whats good in the market and where to buy them. please list performance parts on my DD NA s5 that you think i should replace including where to buy them. thanks
things i can think of now is
parts for basic tranny tune up
tune up of the fuel system
the little things i can replace on the engine that goes bad after 20 years that dont require a rebuild (dont know what theses parts really are)
please help me out because i want to get started on working on my car ASAP. THANKS
P.S. nothing generic, i love my car.

well you will chew through $1000 really fast if you put 100% oem stuff on the car. You might want to pull your fuel injectors and get them cleaned, use Redline Mt-90 gear oil, flush the coolant, replace coolant hoses (heater hoses tend to go), replace the pulsation dampener, change the brake fluid, and the list can go on and on...

sparks + wires
coolant flush + hose
i think im good off the PD replacement. i hear s5 dont tend to go bad.
break and clutch fluid will be change after i find a rebuild kit for the cylinders. where can i get theses at?
if you can, can you go on with the list? lol
also they dont have to be OEM if there are parts just as good or better.
i understand the list of thing to replace is in the archive, but i have no idea where to purchase these items. i tend to think napa, autozone, ect. sell generic parts that are bad for or cars. i mean most of the time i go there they dont even know what a rotary is...
thanks for the replies so far. keep them comming
a lot of the basic stuff that's on any car you can get at a place like NAPA, such as the clutch and brake hydraulics. They should probably be able to get you coolant hoses too. Use an OEM thermostat. To clean the injectors you can pull them and send them to RC Engineering. You can replace vacuum lines with nicer silicone hose from Hose Techniques.
Also check and adjust your TPS using an ohmmeter, replace your air filter (or clean it if it's a K&N type). You can pull your BAC valve and clean that if you feel like it (get the gasket from Mazdatrix, it's on their website). Clean electrical connectors with contact cleaner, such as your crank angle sensor connector and all the little connectors that go to your tranny (like for the shift up light). Clean all your grounds, especially if you will have the UIM off anyway. The list goes on and on...
