Rep Power: 193

good luck with everything, looks like you are off to a great start. just be really careful with those made in china engine hoists and jacks/stands. you never know. dont get under the engine when its being held like that lol. i even get nervous with a jack and stands holding the car up cause ive heard of stands failing too. im looking into getting a full size spare tire/wheel i can put under there too just in case.

 
Rep Power: 256

Rep Power: 193

I responded to your pm, I hear you on not being able to see oil leaks with a painted block. At least give it a bit of a polish while you have it out, I've seen a couple polished blocks and they look really good if you keep up on detailing.

I responded to your coilover pm.

Man don't I know that. I drive 55 miles one way every to my college classes. I would be bankrupt if I drove anything other than a civic. I have been paying for my classes out of my pocket but I ran out of the money I had saved up and while I was on my way to financial aid to get a loan for this fall semester, my instructor called me and said I had been awarded a scholarship for this semester for having a perfect 4.0. Maybe I'll have a little bit more to play with now. lol
