The History of Buying the Car

I went down to Ocean City for 2006 Senior Week....picked up the car on Friday and it ran great....went to take the rental car back home on saturday....by the end of the day saturday the car was losing all power on turns and with any open throttle condition....this led me to being stalled on the side of the road as I had to replace the existing battery and install a new fuel filter....this helped dramatically as to it was then known that the fuel pump itself was going bad and that the car had to stay above a 1/2 tank. The WOT problem resolved itself in the first three gears but remained at higher speeds. After driving the car back and forth during senior week and finally getting home, I hear the start of a tap....guess what....NO OIL...so i quickly go out and get some oil which will hold me over for a week or so when I just do a full blown oil change. I realize the struts and springs will need to be replaced shortly and thats the first thing on the list other than the fuel pump.

Can you guys think of anything else?
Suspension wise that is....

The next draw will go to the sound system.... $1200 draw
This will be around the end of July
Third draw will go to the exterior $3000 draw
This will be around the end of August
Fourth draw will go to interior $2000 draw
This will be around the end of September
And then throughout the winter well lets just say money will be coming in a bit more slowly but none-the-less $8000 will be put into the motor by next march....this includes turbo....

Am I thinking I can do this....no I know I can...ask Mazdamx3sohc lol...he knows what I do and what I can get....I made roughly $10000 last month but I gotta pay off on quite a bit of loans...so everyone will be able to watch what $1500-$3000 a month going into an mx-3 looks like

I'll take pics of all the parts once they get here
