As far as mods, I don't I'm gonna go crazy on it, at least not right now, probbaly just exhaust. The car I'm looking at has the 12A which is about 101 hp I think. But I'm not exaclty a horsepower freak, the current cars I own are a miata with 140hp and a vw with 123hp

Is there any specific reason I would want to replace the apex seals while the engine is still running fine? I was thinking that that was more something to keep in mind when it comes time to rebuild. I mean, why go to all the trouble when it all works?

trecool, thanks for the reminder, I plan on being very proactive with this car.
