My 95 cx is my daily. Roughly 400 miles a week. I try not to drive in the rain because of my rusty wheel wells though.

Do the extended maintenance including ignition timing, steering rack adjustment, valve adjustment, clean out the intake manifold, seafoam, clean out the blower motor / AC evaporator, tighten the throttle cable, bleed the brakes and clutch, lubricate the caliper pins, and tighten the parking brake lever.

front and rear 5mph bumper supports
intake manifold bracket
driver's knee bolster
lower ignition shield
intake resonator box and warm air intake
rear speakers
airbag system (to remove the airbags themselves you'll want a new steering wheel and a dash block off plate for 94, 95)

I've also known people who have broken their noses, wrists etc from airbag deployment when it was unlikely they would have had the same injury without it. I'm a firm believer in seat belts however, and airbags have improved significantly since their introduction.

suspendedHatch wrote:The 5mph bumper supports were lobbied for by US insurance companies who wished to lower their costs on head lights, turn signals, and brake lights from people crashing in narrow apartment parking spaces and low speed accidents in parking lots. They do absolutely nothing to protect your frame, and they are non existent in other countries where insurance doesn't have as much political power.
