Purchased a set of Apexi coilovers for the Miata. Now getting them installed is the tricky part.

Hope you got the airbox as well or your intake temps will be well above stock, not good.

I've got two power window gearbox repair kits (includes a gear, some nylon barrels, and a bunch of grease), two power window regulators (the cable spool / window track mechanism), 8 spark plugs, 8 plug wires (motorcraft OEM).

All that needs to get installed. I also need to replace the upper balljoints in the front (just did the job, but apparently the mid-grade stuff from autozone is not good enough. Will be replacing with Moog parts).

I also need to replace the air springs on the rear axle as I've got a small leak that's causing the compressor to cycle on more often than I'd like, and I don't want to have to replace that part, too.

Oil and filter for all three cars. Air filters too if I'm feeling generous.

Oh, and gas.

Bought an M shift knob, M3 spoiler, black grills and new lights as well.

Cool car. But it's not an M. But you already knew that.

Not trying to make it look like an M. People suggested getting the M knob as it's smaller and heavier and I like the small M spoiler compared to the bigger OEM spoiler.

Fair enough. The car looks awesome.

New wipers (woo big money)
Serpentine belt. I'm a few thousand shy of 50k on my current belt, might as well change it out since it only takes 10 minutes.

I'm debating whether I should continue changing out my power steering fluid with regular old Prestone or use the left over Mobil 1 ATF.

It is a sexy wheel. The stitching is very nice.

Just upgraded my Nav monitor from the original 4:3 to the 16:9 monitor:

Cool. Did you install that yourself or is that custom? I mean the whole nav unit.

The 4:3 and 16:9 monitors are identical fitment and OEM. My car has full NAV, TV, Phone, etc, just the monitor was prior to the update, so it was 100% plug and play. Took 10 minutes to install. And that was with me taking my time!

All the other system on the iBus network auto discover that I now have a 16:9 monitor and offer up new options or display slightly differently. It's a cool upgrade. My next upgrade is to go from the Mk3 CD based nav computer to the Mk4 DVD based system. It's much faster and has better GFX. It, too, is also plug and play. The hard part is removing the trunk trim, but I've done that before when fitting my Intravee II iPod integration.
