Default HELP

my car just won't break on me such a boring car with me nothing to spend my money on... i just look forward to the day for it to some thing to break on so i can work on my car... even my radio is boring so i quit listening to it all together with the off button... changing the oil and rotating tires is just not challenging enough for me and hardly any money spent don't worry i aint gonna put a turbo or a s/c on it those are a waste of money

You could try to port and polish the head with sand... I hear it works really well.

If ur looking for something challenging u could slowly put a turbo build together piece by piece.
Get a cast manifold from ebay for like $100 and a t25 or t28 from an sr20 for a couple hundred and create a cheap but effective build. It wont have awesome numbers but it'll b fun

Put sand or gravel in your oil. That should give you something to fix.

I've reached the point where my XA is so boringly efficient, only 109K miles, that I am gonna keep it for daily use, and buy an IQ to pimp and for fun. Being 60 years old, and only 109K miles it could very well outlast me.
