Wow! My car was dieing

Well took my car to firestone this morning before I went to work. For those of you that dont remember let me refresh your mind, there was a heavy vibration in the front of the car, well I thought that it was the fuel injectors, put some injector cleaner in the car along with different gas. That made a difference for about two days, then it started up again. Well thursday night I was crusing around when the vibration got really bad, bad enough to make my cd player skip over and over. My friend that was with me said that it just needs a tune up, plugs, oil, and oil filter. Well today after work I walked down to firestone and the guy told me that that the ignition wires were barely hanging on,there was no oil on the dip stick, the radiator needed to be flushed, and some wires were burnt to a crisp. :( Well final price is going to be about $530.00 :( Gonna go pick it up today alittle before 5 (thats when they close) and pick her up. And the guy also said about my intake and how I really need to clamp that down with the J Bracket that came with the intake, he called it a cold air, :D hehe :D, I had to chuckle to myself. So yea my baby was almost dead, it was going to flat line, now I guess I gotta be nice to her and buy her some new shoes (rims) get her some sun glasses (tint) and make sure that she's a short bitch (lower it). Reading that last sentence to myself makes me realize why I dont have a girlfriend. :D

And hey Melt, for once im not being a post whore :finger: haha

come on dude you dont know how to check your oil why would it be like practically nonexistent.

i still wanna tint and lower my car ... but no money owns me

i believe that would be your parents owning you ...

my first mod was tint

Its cool man, checkin ur oil is overrated :D . I almost killed my car tho, so i have no room to talk, but i had a theory, i assumed if 4 quarts of oil gave my car 105 hp, then like 8 quarts of oil would give it at least 160 hp, so its like a b16a for only $10, however, my theory was wrong. Live and learn :D .


On the subject of tint: i was wonderin how possible it is to get that new lexus reflective greenish tint on my car, and also if it would be legal. That looks quite cool and i think it will go nice with my white car, I'm worried black tint wont look good when everything else is white.

i think black tint looks good on an all white car, it gives nice contrast.

here is my shitty photoshop of ym car

my car looks awesome with dark black tint! and it umm... was white, now its grey, but its gonna be white again soon hehe :D

Depends on what wires he got.

I also have the bosch 8mm's cause my stock wires werent contacting very well anymore, no complains except for on one of the cylinders, it doesnt fit too well, but I have yet to expirence any contact problems because of that so its all good.

4303 Platinum Plugs
