moving up at 16

[trackjunkie21]

So I just noticed that I had this car for about 5 months already and I already put a little over 1,200 miles on it. Overall I couldn't be happier with the car. It had it's little quirks but now that they are all taken care of, car runs solid and I wouldn't hesitate taking a road trip to Canada with it. I thought the car deserved a little something so I picked up 6 quarts of Castrol Syntec 5w-40 motor oil, a new lower oil pan gasket and some loctite, going to change the oil tomorrow and take apart the lower oil pan to see if I have any loose bolts in the pan. Then refill it with some fresh oil. Also a little question, What would you guys say about smoked tails? yay or nay?

[jasonsnoddy]

you dont want to make the car look too busy. smoked tail are hard to pull off imho. i had them on my car for a couple of weeks then got sick of them and went back to my stock pair.

Forgot to mention I wouldn't smoke them alot, just lightly. While I'm at it, I would paint the whole tails red.

[jasonsnoddy]

no




yes

I wouldn't do it. Unless you picked up a set of MHW or Startec Tail lights.

That's just my opinion though, do whatever the fuck you want!

[trackjunkie21]

yes

That is exactly the kind of smoke I want to pull off.

I plan on picking up MHW's when I have $300 worth of leftover cash to spend

Anyways, I did the oil change today and checked for loose bolts in the pan. Didn't find any loose bolts but found 1 minute piece of the chain. Put a new gasket sealed it up and put in the new oil. These cars are so easy

This car is looking super ill. Can't wait to see her getting low.

God, I wish I had this kind of motivation at 16...

Thanks, everytime I actually do get some money to throw at some springs, other things come up or a great deal comes up. I really need to focus:hitler:

you need an m-tech steering wheel man

Have one in the garage, just everytime I actually go to work on the car, I forget all about the steering wheel. I'll probably put it in when I start working on the interior of the car.

keep the airbag steering wheel.. safety comes first.

and I'm glad that you sort the problem out.

I know what you are saying, but the life expectancy of an airbag is 10 years, then it expires. I wouldn't want that bag deploying in my face.

I am pretty sure those airbags were designed to brake your face and not save your life lol
