ty.. ive been driving it since friday.. got about 60 miles on it.. went to emissions today and failed twice... found a pretty bad oil leak that just started today..and bad smell of gas.. then ton ight my fuel pump decided to act up and shut off on me.. have to hit the tank to get it to work again.. so now need to drop the tank with it 1/2 full so thats gonna suck lol.. the 3 day temp tag expired tonight so ill work on all the small things over the weekend and hopefully some tuning and get a new tag next week and try to pass emissions again.. its not fast at all but sure is a comfy ride compared to my colt.. still need to get exhaust and I/C piping done.. that will put me at about the 1100 dollar range that I have invested into this car.. including new front brakes/hubs/rotors... once all said and done with 4 new tires.. oil flush and all the lil things including a new battery and rear disc conversion..I should have about 1600-1800 tops invested.. may seem like alot to some..but the car came with no motor/trans or good seats.. bad 13" tires. just hope it lasts a long time lol...

Pull the head, drop the oil pan, yank out #1 piston and rod, inspect cylinder #1 for deep gouges, bar hone, stone hone, install piston and rod with new rings, assemble engine, hit the key and cheese all day. BAM!
