Took my baby up to the mountain for some extreme speed and turns! Was going between 40-60mph through mountain curves and was giggling and having a blast the entire time.

Cosworth here link (http://www.cosworthusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=23&idproduct=352) it did not come with install help its just the part
pretty basic instructions but
drain oil pan, drop oil pan, undo the bolts to balance shaft, insert delete (generally just a bolt and piece to plug a hole), then just a matter of reapplying the oil pan and filling her back up with oil
pretty easy job
took me like 2 hours working a very leisurely pace

lucky i had help (he has his own work shop, works on cars for a living) but it was the most dirty mod i have done...PS use a car lift not jacks or stands
Not in the last day, but in the last two weeks:
Two new motor mounts (passenger side top and bottom)
New front struts
New wheel bearing
New spark plugs (NGK Iridium)
New K&N replacement air filter
New all season factory floor mats
Interior completely detailed (all trim cleaned, leather seats cleaned and conditioned, it was FILTHY)
Lastly, the exterior was completely professionally detailed by a friend and the difference is astounding. Here are some before and after pictures:
Wheels before. Those are CLEAN mind you.
Wheels after.
Paint before. Notice all of the crap in it!
Paint before. Swirl city.
Paint after. Ahhhhh.
Paint after.
Paint after.
All done!
We've only owned the car for a month so that's why we're doing all of the work. The good news is most of the maintenance you see above was covered by the dealership before we took ownership of the car so we've saved $1,500 in parts/labor thanks to them! I ended up buying new rear shocks and new front brake rotors as well that I'm going to install at some point. New tires are on the shopping list too.
