RE: @nolnocluap's What Upsets Me About Series - #1: Modern Car "Servicing"

in #cars7 years ago

If youre willing to do your own maintenance why dont you jutst buy an older car and update the engine and stuff so whatever you buy for it has a warranty if you like those... I do anytime i need a slave and master i got that lifetime warranty and the engine i sourced can be had for lunch money (la1 3400 v6) from almost any gm fwd car between 96-05 or new for nothing compared to doing an lsx or hemi .... Not comparable but respectable 180hp and over 200tq with great gas milage

Hi @moophatcow. That's a really cool user name! Actually we've just done exactly that. We've downgraded our bigger car (this one is our little run-around) to an older car which I plan to maintain myself. It shouldn't need engine swap outs, although I have heavily modified previous vehicles I've owned for the fun of it, cam, heads, valves, exhaust, intake, MAF, computer etc. Thanks for the suggestions!
