1/29 update: lotsa work been done
1st off, thanks a ton to Linds, Thayer, and Shea for giving me some of their time.

1) Changed the transmission fluid. Put in Redline MT-90. This did wonders for clarifying the vagueness of the shifter and made a marked improvement on shifting.
2) Flushed the cooling system. Old stuff was very thick, seemed like it was straight coolant, instead of mixed with water.
3) Brake upgrade. I put on front brakes from a 91 Nissan NX2000 that I purchased a pair of remanufactured calipers (loaded) from Advance. Also put on new Brembo blanks (huge in comparison to old rotors) and stainless steel lines on all four corners. Flushed system with Superblue. Due to the increased piston size of the new caliper, the brake pedal has a little more play than before, but it isn't too bad.
The Total package

New goodies

4) Also added a little bit of bling. Kosei K1 15x7 with Fuzion ZRi 205/50/15 tires. Tires were scrubbing a lot on the rear lip of the sheetmetal, but nothing a little hammering couldn't remedy.
