However, if the previous owner didn't bother to replace the timing belt what else did they overlook for maintence.... _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!

A modified car is better than a non-modified car in my opinion.  As long as the mods aren't some sort of tape or wire hanger. lol _____________________________ *Quit Later (in reply to Ronin) Post #: 10

But the only issue with this is that the car will never be able to handle this kinda of power due to well... everything in general not being strong enough and 150hp is stilll very slow. and on an auto have fun not pulling...ever, it will destroy your tranny, and front wheel drive is very homo anyway sooo yup you wont go anywhere... HAVE FUN! btw my stock 1981 ford 1 ton pickup will burn your ass. hahahahaha. losers. (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 12
