So now you've got three cars?!? This is just wrong....people always give me shit for having two cars and a bike.
You could loan me the Talon for a week or two. Always wanted to try one of them out..... Maybe just a test drive this weekend, huh? Anyone want to meet up?!?
A couple buddies of mine and I are trying to get something started at Sonics in Titusville on 50 this Thursday around 7:30ish. Come on out and help represent the SRT's in the area!!!! We look forward to meeting new people and new cars.

Ugh.... Thursdays.
Besides....I'd literally have to "DIG" my car out of the garage right now. As st00pid as that sounds.
hey if any of you want to come out on saturday nights to tires plus on garden st. in titusville we get there around 8:30-9:00 pm. stop buy if your near that area.
jessie i tore just about everything needed out of the engine bay...i just need to drain the oil and coolant and i cant seem to break the bolts loose on the down pipe to the o2...im gonna put some pb blaster on some stuff to see where that gets me....what brand of engine oil did you start using when you put yours in?
10w30 or 10w40 should be fine; no need to go much heavier than stock. Unless you're running the DCR top-end mod like I am.
Mobil 1, Redline, Motul, Amsoil, RP all make good products. We're looking for a little higher film shear strength, particularly for the bottom end.
Oil in it's simplest form does three things in our engines..... 1) Provide cooling 2) provide a hydraulic medium for things like the lifters 3) create a liquid bearing nearly all our moving parts ride on.
Increased forces encountered by the bearing surfaces, requires an increased resistance to shear. Going too thick really isn't going to offer more shear protection than 10w30 due to the tight tolerances in modern engines. You only get "so much" tolerance.
Oh, and a good overnight soak with PB Blaster works wonders on those stubborn exhaust bolts (if you haven't already got them loose).
nope...i cant get the oil drain on the bottom of the turbo to connect...i got so frustrated the other day i had to put everything down for the day before i broke something...i am trying to figure out what i can do cause it just wont go on
