Nice, you lucky dog! I hear you on the oil leaks though, she's not burning it, she's not leaking it, I have no idea where it's going!

i gotta go to mississippi next week for my corrective eye surgery but hopefully this weekend i can get my elec fan installed that i ordered and that should free up some power and MPGs! shooting for 25-30mpg 1.5mpg-6.5mpg isnt being too greedy i dont think and i got the timing belt and water pump ordered too. next payday redoing all o rings, seals and gaskets and see if that stops my oil leak. i just did an oil change and used that bottle of BAR's rear main seal stop leak so we will see if that fixes it. that is the only thing wrong with myMS is that damn leak. lol

Hey 98panda check the PCV valve and replace having a restricted valve will cause excessive crank case pressure and eventually cause leaks.

Wow, those are some nice headers for sure. I knew that headers were availble for the V6, but had no idea they were out there for the 4 banger! Cool. Good looking rims as well. Still warm down there? It's in the 60s 'round here, dropping to the 40s in the next few weeks!
