sounds like fun. Mine goes like this:
turn rotors
front linkage overhaul (joints are getting noisy and handling sucks)
Oil change soon
lsd (I think its a 3.14 for the 750's?)
ltw flywheel
valve cover gasket
...I think that's it for now

Most of these will have to wait until after my wedding in July :-)

I love having things to do to my car though!!!

too expensive...lol. It would be nice, but i would rather save up, buy a newer m540, and use my car for parts.... :D

Did alignment today. Strange thing tho, is that my wheel still rubs the strut when im going in reverse, but only in certain spots. Must have a bent rim ='[

Oil change didnt work today. The guy said that i must use synthetic, and i didnt have enough cash on me. Plus i needed to buy an oil filter anyways. I can use mineral oil right? or should i stick with synthetic? So tomarow the wheel spacers go on, then saturday the rear end goes on, and i got back in for a FREE alignment. The guy said my wheel spacers will throw the alignment off. I figured it wouldnt, because its only moving the wheels out, it isnt changeing there angle.

The "synthetic or not" question is one of much debate among members alike! there are extensive threads about it, kind of a fun read though :-)

I don't really understand why you would need to get an alignment after adding spacers...hmm, maybe one of our local geniuses would care to enlighten us.
