Thread: 80,000 miles

i have only had the car for 20000 miles so new will be cool. purchased it from a friend they got it new. well i hope i can do most of it and get it done for less than $500. is that doable?

and if i replace my struts do i have to replace my springs also?
never had a car with both. i am more of a truck person. leafs and torsion bars. lol

well i will call it my Christmas and birthday present to myself and my car. and maybe after i am done i can do a 80000 mile tune up right up.

stupid question: these cars dont have to get distributor and rotor replaced with the wires and plugs does it? does it even have them?

i though so but wanted to check.

so who agrees that i am going to have to spend a lot of money to do every thing for my 80000-100000 mile tune up ? sounds like it to me.

Its a good idea to put up a camber kit on it too before doing the alignment. I got a set of Ingles Performance camber kit +/- 3 degrees and did put it on myself. its a easy job just need some tools. once u put up the alignment rack if they say you need to adjust camber, they quote like 200bucks a side. Firestone did quote me something like that. i was like noway im paying 800bucks for a 1.5degree unbranded camber kit when i can get it done myself. lolz.
