Can't wait to see what you've done to it over the last year...

Here's the only pic I took during my Dragon prep.

No idea... I bought the car last January and put ~25,000 on last year. Never really got around to taking care of it.

I'm a lot better about the important stuff like oil and such.

I bled my brakes: Motul, and put new rubber on: Pilot Sports PS2's.

What did you guys do?

Comptech non-adjustable front Sway bar
Half-shaft spacers
Change engine oil
Change transmission fluid
Change diff fluid

Cabin air filter
Spoon thermostat

Coolant flush
Reinstall my intake (which had to be removed to be repowdercoated)
Replaced ball joint boots (due to my own error.)
Replace rear tires (Falken Azenis RT615s)
BYS Lowered seat rail

I didn't get EVERYTHING done that i wanted to.

I have some power slot rotors and some new brake fluid for when I get around to installing the rotors.
I also have some sound deadening material that I want to install.

I will do those after the Dragon.

Eric, what the heck are you doing to your car in the first pictures? It is very difficult to see exactly what you are getting into because of all the sparks but judging by the amount of said sparks and what I can make out from the picture it looks like you are using an angle grinder with a grinding wheel. If that is the case, please invest in a full face shield. Safety first dude. You're ugly enough as it is
