As far as drive train goes its pretty strong but makes a squeeling noise when backing up not yet sure if its in tranny or at one of the wheels.

You sure its not just the whine the car has by default... My car whines going back wards and so does my sisters mx-3

im not talking about the whine of a manual tranny it sounds kinda like bad breaks or something like a metal to metal sound its a squeel not a whine

Reverse is a straight cut gear IIRC, hence the dog gear whine in reverse. Good luck with the project!

So today I finally got some new tires mounted on my car, a set of Kumho ecsta ast 205/40/17 here are a couple pics I got while I was changing up the last tire. I plan to take some more pics Friday of inside and outside. I also think I will mount the side skirts on soon. Can any 1 tell the best adhesive to use on them cause to my understanding that is how they are supposed to be attached mo pop rivited like the previous owner did which left wholes in the car i will now have to patch Im almost tempeted to just put some screws in there seems theres already holes.
