I am trying to convince him to keep it and build it up a little
I doubt he'll get as much as he wants for it, so he just as well drop some bucks into it and enjoy it.
I agree. He is convinced that since it has the moto swap and tranny its worth more. along with new interior.

eek... well good luck to him i guess. Emonz the valve cover for that vr-4 looks like it says V8!! lol i was like, 'wait a minute' lol
Thanks Sebba. I was trying to figure out how to break it to the guys. LOL!
well good luck with it... You may have shot yourself in the foot. If you hink the DSM were unreliable you just went to a more unreliable platform I know it from seeing it all fiirst hand. But best of luck with it ya never know

Yeah, make sure you take care of all the preventive maintenance. Get a Mechanics Manual, follow the pm schedule to the T. Use quality fluids and change them on schedule. Maybe your car will we as unreliable as mine at 185K...oh wait...mine has been extremely reliable. :P

So far so good guys. Its a really clean car. I love it. I will keep up with the maintanence.

Even putting gas in the car, is another step i have to go through. LOL! I have to put in 2 cycle (TCW3) oil with it. But its not that bad so far. Nothing wrong so far. This guy babied his car. So i'll let you guys know how it turns out.

ahhh, my bad, you bought the RX. Maybe the oil keeps the apex seals from going bad as quickly.

Just curious... but why not synthetic? And, what oil do you recommend? and filter? K&N filter?
