I have to like this silly car...i still owe $6k on it...yes...I said $6000. It was a buy here pay here car and since I have lack of credit...this is all I could get. But I guess thats ok, because she runs almost perfect. Just replaced the upper bank 1 O2 sensor, and Id say it idles damn near perfect compared to the bad sensor...it still idled around 750 but it would jump up and down.

Ill be checking the entire exhaust here soon. Im getting a louder muffler put on as soon as I get the money. The muffler on it now has a small hole in it, but it has the low tone and I like that. Couple other things to fix and its good to go.
