i don't fall under that category...

i'll make my own category for failure to inspect belt condition...which i guess could be classified as stupid

 

Lol yeah GDS I think you just worded that incorrectly, you must of forgot about Joe completely, although much respect should be given to him for not calling it a day , parting it out, then moving on to another car.... Even after the totaled rollover ra, the 1st popped ra motor and even the 2nd .... Keep throwing that money at her LSD I will probably buy it once you've thrown 50k into it lol

 

HAHA.... i actually LOL'd reading the past few comments. Good times. Good times...

Yea I rolled over my first ralliart 3 1/2 times. Than with this 2nd ralliart I'm on my 3rd motor, and 2nd tranny. Man do i LOVE being broken down and penniless

 

I have a 04 si and I traded my 03 lancer in for a 09 ralliart. They are all nice cars my 09 ralliart being my fav though. I never had a problem with my lancer or my civic so its just up to ur personal preference.

 

Just save up a little more for a bigger downpayment?

 

down payment amount is fine.. there are no decent rides right now.

 

Come take over my payment lmao

 

how much more do you owe

 

9100 as of what the bank said last week lol that will drop a bit tomarrow as i gotta make a payment tomarrow haha

 

josh i know you're really liking the car and are getting ancy to get one but dont be rash and just buy the first one that comes up for a low price. just save the money and research what you're getting into. cause there may be a reason why prices are that low. shipping a car isnt cheap either so you'll already be paying on top of what you'd buy it from at an out of state dealership

just my .02

 

i'm not rushin bro.. but thanks for the heads up.. i'm finding a ton of RA's out of state right now for good prices and low miles.. as soon as the dealerships contact me i'm going to find out if they are willing to ship the cars out to me.. anyone heard of people doin that before?

 

honestly they prob will at a nice sized fee.

 

As for reliability and longevity, I always post this when someone asks. Yes, original motor, transmission; oil changes every 5k.

By the way, I absolutely love my RA, even though it's an auto. It is a pretty good automatic transmission, if you end up finding one for a good deal.

 

is that all you have to do to make it last?? jesus

 

that gives me hope...my breakdown ended up being pretty minor, the reason it got complicated was the LSD and synchro replacement...otherwise i could have it up and running sooner...infact, my valves weren't even damaged, i could have replaced the timing belt first and be done with it, but i figured i might as well have some fun with it...
