Restoration priorities in a 2002 SE MT?
So far:
Hail damage repair, and new paint
Windshield
Clutch kit, including new fasteners and new hydraulics
New A/C system with new belts
struts
brakes
tires
all oil leaks fixed
new battery
new crankshaft position sensor
The car has spent it's life in Texas with no signs of rust and has 137K miles.
What would you add to this list?
Perhaps a new Mishimoto all metal radiator?

from what I remember you can get 4th gen all aluminum radiator off eBay pretty cheap.

I agree, stock 02-03 exhaust manifolds are super restrictive. I'm running 4th gen exhaust manifolds and 4th gen warp speed Y and it made a noticeable difference even with stock cat back.
i threw all teh bolt ons I could fina @ my car along H-LSD, 350Z clutch and Nisformance ECU reflash. car goes like hell
Stumbled across this radiator setup on ebay, having the built in shroud and fans included and still less money than mishimoto seems to be a win/win. Not really sure how the fans perform compared to stock though.
