To mod my coupe. I dont know what to do. at the moment income is not disposable in any way. i can barley keep gas in my car but for some reason im dying to do something to my car. any suggestions? I have drilled/slotted rotors on it, front and rear strut bars, cold air intake, resonator delete and GAGT muffler. along with tinted tails and 20% tinted windows.

why did you buy the v6 when you couldn't afford everything that came along with it

i bought it because my family needed another vehicle and i fell in love with it on the test drive. i mean, i don't have to do any more modding. i just want to. I seriously want to get headers but thats out of the question. especially because no one makes a set that bolts up to the stock down pipe. lol

yea true.. I am actually thinking about keeping it now.. i just dropped my insurance by over 400 bucks. so repairing it is now in my budget. i just have to find an engine hoist so i can rip the motor and tranny out and replace everything that needs replacing. theres a tiny oil leak somewhere on the motor, the clutch slave cylinder needs to be replaced and i was thinking about replacing the clutch while i was at it. then cleaning everything up and possibly painting the engine/trans

Polish the upper intake manifold...sand buff polish... no real cost and looks awesome! Just be sure to cover everything so no dust can get into anything hahaha!!

there is oil on the oil pan, and some spots on the side of the engine. it doesnt leave oil on the ground at all, so it might just be residual. idk.

When I saw the thread title, I was expecting this thread to be about a STD.

look by where your filter is...if that has oil all over it then it is seeping out by the power steering pump...mine leaks slightly from there but never enough to drip

degrease the oil and clean. see how long it takes to come back. may be MONTHS before you ever have dirty engine again.
