-Bought it in 09.  -Bought a hardtop  -Lowered it  -Spun rod bearings almost immediately with around 120K.  -Replaced the bearings and spun them again in less than 10K.  -Swapped in a very clean 40K 1ZZ-FE with Moroso Pan and Billet Steel Oil Gears.  -Had full exhaust (headers to muffler)  -Installed PE Turbo Kit  -Much fun was had  -Decided it was too much fun  -Uninstalled turbo kit  -Back to stock exhaust  Many other things were done but that's the nitty gritty. Was on the fence between selling it and toning it down to be a better daily.  Plans to make the ultimate daily/weekend fun car:  -Compromise between power/price/reliability  -Rollbar  -Leather or vinyl seats with 4 point harness that aren't as unGodly uncomfortable as the brides  -Fix all the things I've ignored  -Repaint front end (I hit a coyote, OK. it was sad day, mostly for the coyote)
