i bought it because my family needed another vehicle and i fell in love with it on the test drive. i mean, i don't have to do any more modding. i just want to. I seriously want to get headers but thats out of the question. especially because no one makes a set that bolts up to the stock down pipe. lol

yea true.. I am actually thinking about keeping it now.. i just dropped my insurance by over 400 bucks. so repairing it is now in my budget. i just have to find an engine hoist so i can rip the motor and tranny out and replace everything that needs replacing. theres a tiny oil leak somewhere on the motor, the clutch slave cylinder needs to be replaced and i was thinking about replacing the clutch while i was at it. then cleaning everything up and possibly painting the engine/trans

there is oil on the oil pan, and some spots on the side of the engine. it doesnt leave oil on the ground at all, so it might just be residual. idk. |

degrease the oil and clean. see how long it takes to come back. may be MONTHS before you ever have dirty engine again.
