from 155,065 miles - 161,200... that poor cat got HOSED! Then I came along and stuck it too him even harder...

Bought her in Octoboer or November of 08 because I needed wheels in a hurry. She's just over 2 years old now.

She's up to like 193,000 miles now (110,000 on the engine). As she sits now, something is currently broken in my suspension that I have not pin pointed to work on (bad weather).
So more $$$ always to come.
Now do you see why my build came along so slowly?!

 

had mine a little over 3 years now. roughly 2500 put into it so far, including the cost of the perf. parts and rebuilding the front end myself from an accident i had with a honda

 

SPAM! lol

Had mine for about 7 months.
143k, and so far a fresh set of tires, all new pads and rotors all around, 2 rear brake calipers, cap, rotor, distributor... That's it at the moment. I have put about $700 into it for now, lol. Still needs rear axle bearing, alignment, passenger tweeter and maybe an alternator(sounds like a bad bearing, still charges).

 

We owned our 98 for 12 years, bought it with 9k miles on it and traded it in with 84k. It still had the original plugs and wires.

Trans line fitting cracked in 2003? but was covered under an extended warranty. Other than 1 set of brake pads and rotors front & rear ($250), 1 set of tires, and normal maintenance items like oil changes the only other expense was the intake manifold gasket about 2 years ago.

 

ummm........wasn't that a self inflicted wound?

 

never said it wasn't but go ahead and get a little more salt. you missed a spot on the wound right...there. *points*

 

i got mine may 2010 it was all stock . iv so far put a brand new motor in it drivers side wheel bearing 20" kmc rockstars a flip out dvd player door speakers fog lights behind the grill and the list goes on

motor mounts and iv got other stuff i have that needs to be put on

 

sorry Curtis.




i'll get the peroxide to wash that salt out of there for ya.
