Shocks and struts would make a difference...but going from sc springs to tc springs....you're not going to notice a difference....Hence why I don't get him. Waste of money imo. Just buy real aftermarket springs you cheap bastard haha

I swear to God, you 2.2 guys are so damn cheap


Also, my LSJ is dead for good. My dad started cranking the motor before checking anything. I saw him and told him to stop cranking it. I uninstalled the charge piping and about maybe a gallon (no joke) of water came out. He then preceeded to say just keep cranking it and blow out all the water...I then say you can't "blow out" the water by cranking it. It's going to get sucked into the motor and seize the motor. It starts up but can't idle and blows smoke. The oil is like sludge (even though it's like brand new). Pretty much needs a new motor now. Anyone want to take it off my hands for 2 grand? That's right, 2 grand? I'm sick of it just sitting in my driveway

A bunch of us ordered tickets for tonight for 830 at gsp

And you can easily get your money back by parting it out...I just need it out. I can't stand it anymore. Plus we are redoing my backyard so I MUST get it out. I just don't want to spend the time/money anymore. I give up

My scan gauge was reading no knock at all haha. I was reving it (the supercharger is ****** loud as hell...mine has always been loud) and I had no knock retard which was weird considering it's horrible running condition.

haha i'm highly considering it..... but i'm not going to lie. now that i think about it, i'm not ready to do a deal. maybe this fall when they are trying to get rid of the 09s, plus i'd like to a 4 door for practicality. i want to clean up my car, get a few things fixed and then save up a couple grand for a downpayment.

If you're complaining about tuition, why are you modding at all? Also, to go from sc springs to tc springs seems like a waste of money imo because you probably won't notice a difference. You should save that money for your tuition.

I'd rather pay Anthony's tuition than yours. Reason being, his car is in ten times better condition then yours.

I'm very serious....And I would swap in a used/new motor in it. You could part out the motor though for one of those 2.4 guys wanting to go supercharged. Sell the intake manifold, supercharger, etc. Some dude PM'd me already about it and the one post I made earlier about it was the ONLY post I had about selling it. The dude isn't even from north nj.....But yeah, let me know. You'd have to get it towed. It does run but ehh... haha
