After maintanance is complete, do a Master Bushing kit replacement including Subframe bushings and decent coilovers.

Instead of being a complete di**, why don't you help the dude out with useful information. After all, that is the main point of this forum

... and nevermind me; I'm just here as your comedic break! I'm in a really weird mood.

There tends to be a fine line between what should be searched before posting. OP's question IS extremely general though. I think we need to probe more for what the OP's intent is. OP?

Find all your rust and remove/repair it. (It's there somewhere trust me.)

thank u everyone, i found the rust u were talkin bout- took care of it today, so i will most likely get the bushing kit and coilovers and maybe a sr20 transmission swap b/c my 2nd gear likes to grind if i try and shift fast (i have a short shifter with the gears being like 2mm apart)... Thank u for all the input and i appreciate it

Just be sure to read up on the subframe bushing replacment job before you dive in, cuz that ain't no bish... lol

[nismoracingsx]

you're new into cars and the body roll is 'killing you in the corners'....
what corners? turning into the wal-mart parking lot? welcome to the forums man, and grats on buying an addictive car, but refresh the car and fix all mechanical issues before you start worrying about coilovers and all that crap. Trust me, if you don't fix it now, you'll be driving w/ that leaky steering rack or torn bushings for like 2 years..

good luck and read the tech section for this site, its a great source and could give you some ideas.

[xfperez05]

thank u again, but what type of bushings, i keep hearing about polyurethane but the metal bushings are good too, so i'm confused on what to get... And after i get new rotors and fix the power steering, i'm lookin for a new transmission cuz my 2nd gear likes to grind if u try to shift fast

The first thing I would do is to buy a new/good clutch kit like I did today!! Cause I bet that clutch in the car now is probably old and worn out and couple of good drift and that things toast. It will save some headaches down the road, trust me.

[xfperez05]

so i would jus need to get a new clutch kit and not a whole new ka transmission? there is about 166k on everythin...
