welcome to the club! sounds like you got a good deal. how is the body of the car? no rust issues? some upgrades you might consider: de-smog your car (not sure if this is allowed in georgia). 76s have the most smog equipment, and the engine would benefit from being freed of it's smog shackles. better seats-the stock seats in the 02 are not up to spirited driving. there are several types of aftermarket seats you can get. properly jetted weber 32/36-works very well with stock/mildly tuned motors pointsless ignition-petronix, crane. like trent said, it does wonders. about a billion other things-these cars lead themselves to tinkering, and there is no shortage or parts or ideas out there. watch this board regularly and you'll gain a lot of knowledge.
