Not too bad for a couple hours work. Tried a free sample of some cleaner wax.
Quick poll from the audience... I just turned over 70k, and am wondering if it is about time for new shocks. It still handles pretty decently for a roadster, but what is the lifespan on the stock suspension?

Looks great!
Wouldn't surprise me if you're needing some new shocks....I think I recall some people's being shot even before that.
If you're just replacing shocks, go with some Bilsteins or Konis.......May as well upgrade the springs while you're in there for a couple hundred more and drop that thing.

lifespan?! >>
after MUCH deliberation, I've decided to go for coilovers because my stock suspension is SHOT.
OEM shocks are monroe (are you serious?! yes i am) which makes them crap. Steve will vouch for me, when i say REPLACE it :-)
for the price of shocks you might as well get springs and for the price of springs you might as well get coilovers!
thing about the stock susp is: stiffer springs make bad shocks hard to tell, it feels pretty good now, it will feel AMAZING with a good spring/shock combo or coilovers on it.
just my $.02

I replaced mine with bilstein at 12.5 k and........
the stock monroes i took off I could press and depress with my bare hands easily like superman....made me feel strong, like the man of steel, and sad at the same time at what the car came with from the factory and were so shot at just over 12k miles.
