Much better. How's the car been since the head gasket? Any overheating? Still getting oil in your antifreeze?

 

[dsettle13]

nope its running perfect but still burning oil. no idea what the problem is.
how'd you make your signature?

You have an EJ...an EK is a 6th gen hatch ONLY.
Or call it an EX since the EX only came in a coupe..no need to call it an EX Coupe. duurrrr

Sell the rims for stock wheels. Therefore you just made a decent chunk of money. Winter is right around the corner, so on the stock wheels you're not oxidizing a different rim, and you have a backup set of wheels. Use the money you got from the rims towards repairs/other parts/savings. Come spring buy a new set of rims.

Problem solved efficiently.

Wait, what? You can't afford a cheap wheel? If you can't afford a cheap Enkei wheel then you're in the wrong hobby, b/c rims don't get much cheaper than that.

Or do you mean J-LINES?

 

[dsettle13]

yeah j-lines are amazing. i cant afford anything lol im 16 with no job

So instead of modding it, go through and do a thorough inspection on it and do repairs. No sense in having a modded POS.

 

[dsettle13]

replaced all gaskets, seals, new plugs and wires, new thermostat, oil change, new radiator hose too. how it has a whole in it all the sudden im not sure.

Are you going to remove the trim around the fenders? That's the #1 cause for cancer, just so you know.

 

[dsettle13]

The rubber piece around the edge?

The rubber piece around the edge?

Yes. Featured on your fenders. These pieces actually CAUSE rust.
