I'm thinking of changing my insurance policy in order to turn my '87 924s into a daily driver as it gets much better gas mileage than my '03 S10!!!

I plan to change the oil, replace the oil filter, drain/flush/refill the coolant, change the brake fluid, change the power steering fluid, rebuild the transmission, replace the clutch/flywheel/rear main seal, replace the timing belt/front seals, find where a leak is coming from, replace the air filter, replace the o2 sensor, replace the spark plugs/wires/distributor, replace the fuel lines, replace the fuel filter, replace the brake lines, replace the vacuum lines, upgrade to the 10 speaker thing I saw on another site, replace the head unit (one the PO installed sucks), replace the cracked dash (or just get a cap), replace the shifter lever, fix the rips/scuffs in the drivers seat (leather sucks), replace the shocks/struts/springs, upgrade to the 30mm sway bars/replace the bushings, replace the ball joints, replace my engine mounts, replace the hood supports, install Russell Berry's chip, replace the passenger side window switch, replace the drivers side tail light lens, replace the screen inside the fuel tank, install 968 door handles, get a euro rear bumper, and last but not least upgrade to the 951 front end (NA front end is ugly). I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember it right now.

Yes, but I think they will cost more than I am willing to spend. I think I am down to manuals or stock.

There is an autox in des moines in two weeks but I may not make it in time for tech. There looks to be a lot going on in central iowa after that however.

Just don't have the willingness to keep working on it. I have an 06 S2000 that does a much better job as an autocross car, and just being reliable

I guess not, I tried to do as much research as possible and do everything by the book.
