hood which badly needs a paint job

and oin this one you can see the purple tint and the k and n sticker from when i had a k and n air filter

looks nice man

thanks it was only 300 dollars and only needed a passenger tail light cuz the previous owner was rearended

thats really not bad for 300 my 89lxi that i got for 300 had been sitting for five years. i got it this past weekend.

i had to change the distributor, the gas tank, fuel filter, possibly gas lines, and all the bakes, lol so thats a deal you go yours for

Not bad at all, looks pretty clean.

wow i guess i am lucky that the tail light was the only thing i love the car but for someone with as little income as me to do all that i probably would've sold it and gotten something else

lol i tried once to put one in reverse and stalled the motor

if you ever try again do this

put it in gear....first or reverse... put the clutch down dont even worry about the gas yet...slowly ease the clutch up....SLOWLY and when the clutch gets close to where it releases you will notice the car will slowly propel itself then give it a little gas and release the clutch if is still in any .. and your off and with practice youll get the hang of it

ok thanks i'll remember that and ask my step dad if we can take his 08 si to a parking lot

yes do it

i really want to learn and then do a five speed swap to my car. my buddy and i go out all the time and he drives the car through the gears and tells me that second has no pick up and that if it were a five speed it would fix that and well i just wanna learn so i know and i think it would be fun to have a five speed

my first lxi was a five speed this one i got now is an automatic. before i get rid of the first lxi im gonna take all the stuff out to do the swap so i can do it down the road

thats a good idea you'll save money and not have to buy as many things to do the swap

yea. well let me know how it goes if you take it out

will do

wow...i never seen a intake that way...i dont think it would funtion right.

it functions better than the stock one actually but yeah its only like that until i can afford to relocate the battery

O forsure...I didnt mean it in a bad way...i had a very very short intake so i didnt hit the batter...actully i had a exhuast shop make me a short little pipe...and i just brought my filter and then when i got home i drilled some holes jb welded the plastic vac fittings and shamwow lol

oh ok and yeah one of my buddies wants to cut the pipe to a shorter length to fit
