    Re: my new dx

    just got done taking it for a road test its missing just a lil bit.but its set for awhile so that might be it.its missing a screw in the distributor cap which could cause this also.but other than that it ran fine no smoke.its not as peppy as my lxi but for 200.00 who cares lol.Its also the same interior color as my lxi so ill drive it for awhile then maybe convert my lxi to stick shift with it.

    yeah definetly the cloths is better in the lxi.i took it for a 2 1/2 hour drive to day.It needs a left cv joint,speedo cable,and factory stereo needs rewired some1 tried to do it but didnt know what they were doing.Other than that its a real good car.Had like 4 different people ask to buy it (lol)I told them they could get it (When they pry it out of my cold dead fingers)

    Re: my new dx

    hi i wanted other opininons on if i should put on scoop,also if i should make functional or not.I laid it on hood an took some pics,also have pics of the new pedals i put in.Check out how the paint looks purple from 1 way then black from another i thought that was pretty cool.I laid a stiff buffing to it yesterday and it really made it shine i still just cant believe they sold me that car for the price i got it.

    If your going to cut a hole in the hood & put a performance carb on it, then I would have to yes on the hood scoop. Other than that, you got a good deal for $200.

    Re: my new dx

    you know I was actually thinking of putting a scoop on my car since I'm running a 38 weber, but I wanted something kinds boxy and low profile. Anybody know where I can go looking for hood scoops?

    Re: my new dx

    i think ill do scoop.cause there would have to be a hp increase if i stick on a weber,get a hotter coil,and build a breather that will go up in the scoop.
