best place to buy exhaust for an ea-81?
usually i would agree with you on the cherry bomb RallyAlex, but on my old hatch i had no cat and no muffler, just ~2 foot section of a glasspack midway thru the exhaust. and it wasn't loud at all, just nice. but obviously do whatever you want, just make sure you put a high flow muffler on there (if you are doing a muffler) the stock ones are very restrictive from what i've heard.

new brake pads wont fit.
yes, you have to turn them to get them to go in. use pliers or whatever, i ended up buying one of these from the local auto parts store. (tool for the job) https://www.alltools.com.au/shop/images/sz/2447.jpg it was cheap.

Stereo Adapter?
I got mine from stereo warehouse in seattle, but it was about 2 years ago. http://superstereowarehouse.com/ but like GD said there are some really nice options other than cd player stereos. personally one that has usb sd card and aux input would be more usefull than a cd player.

Problems with radiator hose.
I would change both the thermostat and the lower rad hose. also as everyone else here says make sure to get you new thermostat from the dealer as they are significantly better made. my last one that i got from schmucks just came apart in the housing after a few years :-\

My new BRAT!!
it says this * when you leave your car during warm up, be sure to depress the accelerator pedal slightly to prevent the exhaust from overheating. If this is neglected the engine speed increase may cause overheating. * Do not turn off the engine while the car is moving.
