Description

I bought this car in 2007. It was my dream car. It costed me $1000 to safety it because of the speed sensor, and i needed 4 new tires. But once i got it on the road, i was on top the world.

A couple months later my car started to run like poop, i noticed a decrease in performance and i found i had to add 1L of oil every week to keep her topped up. My alternator went on me, my ball joint came loose and was only held together by a couple threads.

Then the unthinkable happened. My timing belt slipped a tooth. All my valves were bent. I thought "WOW im fucked".

I let it sit for a year so i can save up money to fix it. I never knew anything about cars really, besides changing brakes, oil, sparkplugs, and valve cover gasket. So i grew some balls and dove in, ripped everything apart, removed the engine, cleaned everything. Rebuilt the cylinder heads, timed the engine myself, Greased every nut and bolt, with the help from the service manual and a little advice from GTWizard.

I finally got her back on the road in August 2010. Only for a month though. I still have some things to fix on it, but she runs like a brand new car now, accelerates good, its running at 100% like i drove it off the lot brand new.
