^^ this a million times. And don't just bandage fix it with sway bars -- it won't do the car justice, and you'll end up needing to put some coilovers in anyway LOL~

NC1 at this age could likely need a little TLC to keep it in good running conditions. Off the top of my head:

- coolant reservoir -- if the OEM plastic unit looks yellow, replace it asap. The more yellow it is, the more urgently you need to replace it, either with another OEM plastic unit, or with an aftermarket metal unit

- clean your drains -- it's probably less of an issue with PRHT cars, but still, clean your drains.

- cowl water leak prevention -- watch this video, and just seal the plastic thing with caulk / sealant:


- probably a good idea to change the diff fluid

- Don't use a GL5 tranny fluid even though the owner's manual says it's OK. It isn't. Make sure it is GL4.

Have fun!
