    Which performance parts? There are a lot of them...

    In my opinion 825 is ridiculous! You could do it yourself with a basic tool set for under $200 in maybe 4 hours if it's your first time.

    Might be something....??????

    This would be something you would want to do right away. Oil is getting in your coolant and coolant is getting in your oil. This can jam up the rcooling system and "dry" your oil, which reminds me, add Oil and an oil filter as well as coolant and a new thermostat to your shopping list.
