So what is the new car?
And why would a radiator cost $700? For my old Honda, brand new radiator was like $70, and I installed it in like an hour.

I know the feeling man. I'm just getting sick of my car's fuel economy, though it hasn't had any problems for a long time now. These F Bodies just get miserable fuel economy.
I think as soon as I sell it I will buy an Integra/Celica.

Really? I’ve never owned one but I was under the impression that long as you didn’t drive them hard or spend a lot of time in traffic idling they did as good as your average minivan.

Replacing a radiator and some hoses isn’t hard. You should try to do it your instead of paying some shop $500 to install a $200 radiator.

Yup, it's gone. And I sold it for enough. It was decently clean... went pretty good too.
Just wasn't the car for me.:disappoin

What's the replacement going to be? Mazdaspeed Miata? RX-8? I know you don't like the 350Zs.

I would get the G35 coupe, same engine as 350Z, luxurious, has a backseat for a youngin', and everytime i see those tail lights i cream my pants.
Edit : Maybe we should get Musashi to test drive that next, see how our designated test driver feels about it.

And no monthly payments or high insurance. The gas consumption wasn't a big issue for me, it was a pain in the ass for sure. But I could deal with that.
It was the low quality of the entire car. Front end started making noise ... like a tie rod or something like that was about to let go, also the front right brake started making noise. Like the caliper was grabbing/scraping the disc.
Which is odd, cause the brakes were redone when I bought the car... and I'd only put on 8,000 miles on it.
Whatever... I dumped it. No payments is fine by me.

Same exact beater my friend just picked up, down to the year and color. :grinyes:
As far as tint, I honestly think swapping in another radiator and hoses would be less of a PITA then window tinting. I've never tinted myself, but a few of my friends do it, and it can be irritating to work out all the bubbles and stuff if you are doing it for the first time.

No way those tires are gonna fit. Don't you have like 185's on there right now? Suckers will protrude alot.
As far as the tinting of the windows, I hope you have alot of the fluid (Don't recall it's name). I watched the guy put window tint on one of the windows of my T/A, and it took him a little over an hour. He had to use a plastic blade to crease it with, along with using ample amounts of that fluid (I'm guessing something similar to windex).
Good luck though. What are you gonna do with the T/A now?
