just hit 227k mi. ive got the intake off right now, but i think i just fixed the problems it was having(maf and ignition coil). other than that and some exhaust leaks its runnin sweet. previous owner put in new injectors at some point, but other than that nothing has been done other than periodic maintenance.
now transmissions . . . previous owner replaced the auto tranny at least twice, and i got it with a 90% busted tranny(id say i was getting around 60-70 hp to the ground from all the slippage, and i only had 1st and 2nd gears). my car hates transmissions. hopefully it likes sticks better than slushboxes!

miles go fast when you go from va-pa-va-pa-chicago-va-pa-va-chicago-pa-va-chicago-pa-va-fla-pa-fla-pa-elpaso-fla-pa-fla(and soon back to elpaso and back). yea that is right. florida(jacksonville) pA(carlisle) va(norfolk) and i don't think i need to explain chicago.
