rear tires - still need to be addressed, but I am unemployed ;(

plastic underbody panels - replaced with JT designs aluminum panel
plastic waterpump - changed to metal waterpump, replaced radiator for G.P.
passenger window motor - fixed 2x
'rechargable flashlight' - replaced 2x due to faulty flashlight
sunroof gears - replaced due to wear

thats about all I can remember... I have also replaced the exhaust, but that wasn't a necessary bit of maint. - mostly I pay for oil changes & tires/brakes/etc. - orig. clutch with 86K miles, still works great...
