I have one of those style valve on my oil pan. Works great, no leaks or anything.

I wish the Z was as easy like that S2K where you can get to everything from the top. Also it'd be sweet if it came with a chick that would even do it for you like the video shows.

They are from DFW area, i never talk to them thru forum but sounds like very nice couple.

Well that vid looks pretty easy thru doing all that from top...I just finished my first time oil change on S2k and it was pretty dammm hard to taking off and tight back in oil filter from top. Or maybe i'm weak...

Brakes, wheels and tires are all on their way

Thank you sir, I have been itching for the longest time to be able to get to work on a motor. Motors are my personal forte

So I Got a new Car !

I sold the Z.......NOT !

Sold the Truck few weeks ago and looked for a economical beater.

I wanted a Fit, Civic, Sentra, or Corolla. I was searching all the internet postings & even went to quite a few dealerships to see the inventory. The Dealerships wanted so much more than what Private sellers would want.
I almost got a '07 civic w/ 56k for 10.5k but they said no deal. So I walked !

Anyways, I ended up finding a private seller on CL in Keller that had a '09 Corolla with 20k on it. I got it for 12k, so I ended up with a semi-new car for $ 2500 out of pocket. I hope this Corolla will be around for my daughter to have.

All I got to say is that there is an over abundance of used cars out there and the dealers will be screaming to get them off their lots over the next 2-3 months because of the new 2011 models.

Chris,

My buddy's mom has been driving a 1992 Corolla FOREVER and all she's ever done is general maintenance. Ridiculously reliable car.
