Mattsv8 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 You and I must have different opinions of good mileage good mileage means to me better than the yukons 10mpg and not being a import Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 That is a nice car, I went and looked it over at Hidy. i was really impressed and they came down to the price i needed. all services was on time and at dealer. the only thing i found is the tires are new now original.

2 Sweet Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 VERY nice! Super clean and looks well kept for sure. Even the headlights still look brand new. Great buy, you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 the hardest thing so far is leving it sit till spring. sucks. but i know its the best for the car. and keeps the mileage down. but its giving me a chance to read up on mods for spring.

I used the Mobal 1 synthetic atf stuff. I think that is what it was called at least. I never had a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I would put the Royal Purple in it thats for manuals calling for ATF, not sure the exact name but you'll find it. Worked good in other cars I've been involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 since im not racing this car. would u do 1 3/4 for more low end tq and better mileage. im not porting heads or evan changing cam anytime soon. or would you still go 1 7/8 thats bigger than whats on the s10 when it was a nos motor.

Cordell Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 http://www.jegs.com/i/Royal-Purple/831/01512/10002/-1?parentProductId=745605 this? Yeah that, and as for headers I think it comes down to cost for me. I'd rather save some $ and give up a few ponies if I was in your shoes, however now that I've gotten this far I wish I'd have sprung for 1 7/8. If you think you'll eventually do anything more then a moderate cam just buy the bigger headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 u think i should just buy someones used 1 3/4 headers so they can upgrade to 1 7/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 u think i should just buy someones used 1 3/4 headers so they can upgrade to 1 7/8 That would deff be a good possibility, but I doubt you want my black painted Pacesetters.
