HAHAHAHAH. AJ, if you managed to bypass the 2.2 ICM and use the 2.4 (Which, I know for a fact you didn't, as I've seen your set-up and know that the 2.2 coils wouldn't be held in position for @!#$) the coils, as I said, would be flopping around.



Brian, yes, I hate the Quad, but I'm still willing to work on them and know enough of them to get me by pretty decently.

ok so looks like if plan to move to alberta I got a place and crap in my fathers building (not best place but a start), but looks like I have a few things need to do to the cavy pretty soon, oh Brad I found out the problems I was having the fpr collapsed and was not giving right pressure I did the suck test, also the coils for some reason were not producing spark so I removed then and reran the wires, seems to be working great now, also finished the IDI cover(for those that remembered I broke it last time), still going to track down so door handles, put a key fob only on drivers side , and the trunk, or shave havent decided yet. have to fix that spoiler or remove, and replace my deck, I put engine on hold as I still have to get other thngs done, and I might be looking for volunteers to help me get a windshied at pick n pull as well as cutting few parts off of different cars

J to Envy had i go write up relocating the ECU and various other things to the cab under the stereo bezel

I'm looking to by a new vehicle here soon but thinking I'm going to keep the fire as a stereo car because there is no value in it well and i've put too much money into it already to let it got for $1000 lol

yea i thought it wouldn't help you haha that was just one of the things i found lol didn't search too much into it

Kind of undecided at the moment... SUV definitely but leaning more towards brand new i know it's kind of a rip off but i want something that is customize to what i want. also I kind of sacrificed alot with the sunfire for my first vehicle but it has allowed me to figure out what i want in my next vehicle.

I started a home business last year and hauling the boxes from my shipments in my car i can only hold 4 boxes lol most orders are sometimes 7-10 boxes so two trips is kind of ridiculous.
check out www.fb.com/nicoleseverydaystyle it's like cookware and entertaining pieces and home decor.

i want some thing that has a good stock stereo because i don't want to rip apart my new vehicle for a stereo because my current stereo is going to stay in my fire

Wishlist for new vehicle:
smaller SUV more cross over
command start
good stock stereo
fully foldable seats that fold flat for my hauls to ikea haha
enough space for road trips
good fuel milage
leather
sunroof
a/c
ipod hook up
and of course its gotta look good and price too.
well power too but for me i would rather have better fuel mileage then alot of power i know i know you guys are gonna be like wtf.

One Suv i looked at was the new 2011 Kia Sportage...but i kinda want the turbo lol so i might wait until next year to see what they come out with.
i was looking at the Nissan exterra too but that bugger is big and a big price tag to match. also the ford edge but then its a ford...cx-7 is pretty cool but price tag for everything i want ouch lol
so the sportage is the best bang for buck so far but still undecided.

if i was to get a new car forte koup all the way i test drove this in the winter and i loved it a little bit of a blind spot with the back pillar but w/e

Ummm, Nikki, look into an olderish Saturn Vue. 2.2 Eco OR the 3.something Honda engine. also comes in the AWD set-up that works surprisingly well. dunno if it ever came with Ipod hookups, but who cares. I fit 3 19" Framed bikes in the back of it so it's got more than enough storage space back there.


I can't really remember what the Stereo was like in my old one, but from what I remember, it was decent.

I would stay away from the Nissan solely because of the dealership here. In fact, anything from the GP Auto Group should be avoided. They are nothing but trouble. I've had family work for them, I've had family and friends deal with them, and no one has had a GOOD experience with them. They also failed to make no less than three sales work for us. Doug Marshall isn't bad. They worked their asses off to get us the Sunfire when we bought it, and they were willing to get another car I wanted (01 Z24 with manual trans) ready in a day when we were looking to replace our cav wagon. Toyota and Honda were both awesome for us, but Toyota's maintenance is a bit more expensive, and Honda will give you a discount card for the parts department. VW is good, but don't trade in with them. They lowballed the snot out of me. The Ford dealer's were attentive, but they sold Fords, so we left. A friend bough a car from Nor-Lan Chrysler, but it was used, and his dad knew someone there and he basically had salespeople kissing his ass to buy a car.
