That's the way to start out... with the above mentioned items. There's no telling when a starter may go bye bye.

If you take the cheap road, you're going to enjoy shelling out money twice for a cheap part and then more for the right part or putting stock parts back on. if you don't have money (like me) just I/H/E and be done with it. New suspension parts and wheels/tires will make your car hella more fun to drive. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007) Post #: 14
