The non-supercharged can be found from 6-12, I just saw an '07 with 36K go for $9K.

Or get that FD in the classifieds.

Oh yeah...

And you were hatin' when you picked up the Talon.

How's she holding up these days?

Took about 15 hours to do the interior. Took the hole thing into the house, literall and steam cleaned the crap out of it. Couldn't get all the oil out so we replaced the carpet padding. Put it back in and it was looking new. Did all fluids, filters, belts, hoses, t-stat, pcv, exhaust is completely new except for the cat. Julie decided she didn't wanna learn to drive stick and I kinda lost interest in the project so I sold it to a good friend of mine. Ended up helping him finish it anyway LOL. throughout bearing failed but it was the easiest trans I ever removed, a few ball joints, and the lower control are was bent. Now it drives straight as an arrow. Kinda wish I kept but now but since me and him carpool to work I get to ride it in all the time still. Car was also fully detailed and now has 2G eclipse wheels of my old 97 GS-T spyder. I'll snap a pick of it all shiney, you won't even belive it was the old car until you see the bumper and hood are still black lol

Sweet! I'm just glad it didn't end up in the scrap heap. That thing will go til the wheels fall off.

Yea, I told him if he ever didn't need it anymore to let me know and I'd scoop it back up from him. My parents just gave me my old Saturn from high school. It has 258k miles and never breaks down. It is a beast. I can't wait to get it inspected and registered so I can save some gas. Good old crank windows will be weird though.

EDIT: it has a slight miss right now but only when the car warms up. I'm guessing crank position sensor since they seem to be a constant failure on Saturns.

Let me start off by saying I think vegans are huge pussies. It is nearly impossible to have cruelty/conflict-free anything. But, the thought of having ground-up animal bones permanently etched into my body does kind of skeeve me out. Meh...it's not going to stop my, so why bother?

omgjacki · 07-14-2010, 03:25 PM

I found two under 7k. I've been having mom run carfaxs from work all day. Lol

I'm glad you took the high road and went with bones rather than woodchuck anus. I like that they firmly stand behind their beliefs, just not a fan of being looked down on because I ate a Baconator and offended every one of their food groups.

I read over it and you don't sound like the retard. That said, I'm not sure if domestics have limp mode. None of my OBDII chebbys ever did. That dude sounds right in that you should focus on the rpm in neutral issue first. Go to autozone and get the codes scanned free.

jpalamar · 07-14-2010, 03:52 PM

I have limp mode when 'ish breaks.

piku · 07-14-2010, 03:55 PM

I guess my cars never properly broke then to demonstrate it.
