It reminds me of that caddy or lincoln at powerama ive seen...its lime green with sparkles, raised or has airbags, with 20's or 22's I think...its hideous!

I also like the way tires with white writing on em look....but only on trucks...lol and ya you bet the sound of the engine and true dual magnaflow exhaust with full length headers gives it more presence than that pic ...im not gonna lie it no big block, but for a small block it sounds pretty darn good! ...lol ive also set off the odd car alarm revving it in a parking lot

I've now driven a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 4WD was nice, but the play in the steering wheel, loose suspension and the multitude of electrical failures make me not want one.

Speaking of electrical failures, can anyone tell me an easy way to find an electrical short? My friend's 95 Cougar grains the battery when you plug in the block heater. When I boosted it from the cav (the dying resurrecting the dead I assure you), there was so little power at first, the lights wouldn't come on.

Nope. I checked every switch and knob to make sure it was all off. Never thought to check the fuses. I told him I'd hunt around to help him out since he can't really afford to get it looked at. Lol of the day: My co-worker thinks she can get $15,000 for her 2005 Civic LX.

$15,000 for a base LX, that's priceless. At tops it's worth $7,000, and $8,000 to $9,000 for an EX.

I'd hate to think of pointing you in Dwight's direction for that transmission, but I think he is going to be the only one with a reliable Isuzu for the 2.2.

He's looking to get a reliable STOCK Isuzu. He's not building up an LA1 project car. You do know that the MK7 is stronger than the MJ1 right?

I wouldn't trust them for anything. I don't even buy parts from them anymore unless they're the only place I can get what I need.

I may pay more at NAPA, but it's the only place I go. If I can't find it there, then I go to Rock Auto.

Pats and Street & Strip. Usually I check S&S first, since they've been better to me over the years.

Now that I know I get like a 10-25% company discount on parts, I also go to NAPA.

Ya, I regret taking it to Crappy Tire for my clutch job, they probably @!#$ up the syncro's or something, but it was on a weekend and not many tranny shops are open weekends. Besides ive become acustomed to driving without 1st gear now and taking off in 2nd gear.
