    About another year of daily commute. Maybe a couple of car washes. An oil change some thime in summer. Thats about it.
    If i got a job after that - get a Vtec Prelude or a Celica.
    Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.

    Oil change this weekend and a good clean. Need new discs/pads/hoses all round as well as fluid. Will probably recondition the calipers with new seals at the same time. New clutch will be next, followed by poly bushes for engine/gearbox mounts and gear shifter. Then a splurge on new poly suspension bushes all round and a TEIN fully adjustable kit with a camber adjustment kit for the front. Gotta get my wheels reconditioned and fit a set of Yokohama Parada Spec-2's as well.

    Basically once it's handles better and stops better, I'll make it go quicker

    New front tyres, a wash n wax, and removing the old PDA cradle.

    I wouldn't mind getting the ECU looked at, 1st gear seems a bit odd, not much power to start with, then everything all at once, which is slighly disconcerting when you've got a crappy cheap tyre on the front in the wet..
