I'm finally back with wheels

Why would you trade for something that has 200K+ miles.. you thought this car had problems, wait until you get one with 200K+ miles.

I'm not. I'm probably just keeping my car at this point. Gonna swap my other auto trans in, and then save for a five speed swap while doing some dent pulling and maintenance. I have about $300 leftover from my tax return since I had to pay my housing deposit. But now that's of the way, I can put cash away.

Like a truck
If I wasn't saving for a five speed conversion, I would have coils right now.

I would have already lowered my car, I would hate driving 4x4 more than driving auto

 

[MistahJuice]

I disagree but then again I lowered mine after I manual b18 swapped it, mostly out of urgency. Find a great deal you wanna have the cash saved up lol, suspensions always there assuming you plan to get it brand new.

Got something done today with the nice weather. Popped some of the fender dent out. It looks a lot better. Didn't take a picture though. Forgot. Also, rolled over 166,600 miles about a half hour ago.

Pulled the fender liner, one of the plugs wouldn't budge. This is why it wouldn't budge...

So, big ass cancer spot hidden by the liner.

Ugh! Damned northern weather/roads! Glad we don't have that crap so bad down here

 

[Osiris19]

Yeah, it sucks, but I like Pennsylvania for some reason. Just something I gotta live with.

Yuck, most rust I have on my car is 2 little surface rust spots from deep door dings lol. f**k snowy salty roads

Haven't updated this in awhile so I thought I would.

Waiting till next weeks paycheck to change my oil, oil pan gasket, oil pan bolts, and drain plug. Have about $330 saved up for the five speed swap. Still got a long day to go. Gotta go apply at more places again. I'm supposed to be getting more hours at my current job, but I only worked 36 in the last two weeks so I probably won't get much more.

Small update. Replaced the oil pan gasket and changed my oil today. I just want to say I will never replace an oil pan gasket without a lift again. Or a jack that can lift my car higher than a foot.

Lol yeah. I had one of the studs come out of the block -___- So I had to set it in there and put the pan on, throw a nut onto the end and tighten it down till it went far enough into the block.

Went to replace the alternator due to whistling noise from a supposed bad bearing. Alternator wouldn't budge from the bracket, and I was running out of time, so I just replaced the belt for now, and the whistle went away.. Okay weird. Put everything back together, belt squeaked, and sounded weird. Figured it was loose so today I tightened it, no squeal. All good. One more thing checked off the list. Still need mounts and to swap the trans and do my front brakes.

I've replaced my oil pan gasket 6 times now along with my oil pan once. Guess ill just have to deal with he fact it will never stop leaking lol. Think I've got high crankcase pressure for some reason lol. Glad ur squeeky belt is gone

 

[Osiris19]

Lol, yeah, the pan doesn't leak, but everything else does.

Installed amber bulbs today.

One of my bulbs was being anal and wasn't contacting the socket correctly. Probably should buy a new socket for it.

Looks good as long as they're all lit

They're all lit now. I pushed the bulb around I'm the socket to get it to light up and it's still lit. Looks awesome at night.
