got my car back finally

woohoo! the sleazy dealer paid for a new starter! but the front was still making that horrible noise, so i took it to a mechanic that i trusted (not his sleazy mech.) and they said that nothing was wrong with the front axle, i looked at it while it was on the lift and the boots were not torn or crac...

Re: little tuning here and there?

I once knew a guy with a 20b twin turbo. but at the time i met him he only had just gotten it all thrown to...

Re: now im pissed

I ...
