Control arm bushes.
Rear crossmember mounting bushes.
Link bushes
stabiliser bar bushes
Stock replacemant air filter should not cost that much.
Instead getting stock disc, better off goin gettin set of slotted dba or something, on special i got my last slotted pair for 200. sweet!!

Hey thanks rebuild has been progressing...picked up a pair of slotted DBA front rotors off ebay for $190 (incl postage)...got bendix general CT pads $55, KN air filter $70, engine mount $60 (kelpro high quality), best oil filter, new sensor switch, penrite 10-40w oil, new rad cap, new engine oil cap seal, new rocker cover gaskets and bolt seals, found beaurepaires does wheel alignments for $60 at keperra brisbane, (tooth brush was shopping list to help scrub degreaser parts). I still need to replace the passenger engine mount, do the rocker gaskets and seals, swap the new rotors and pads in, replace front sway bar link, replace D bushes...so my works cut out but im actually really enjoying it so far, i know a decent amount about cars but have never fully worked on them like this but i am learning how to fix so much stuff and identify problems. I had no idea oil changes were so easy hehe. Anyone know where i can get cheap steering racks or any guides to recon a steering rack, i'd really like to learn how to fix them.

Try eBay. Usually can get a reco'd one for $200.
