I'm sure that some of these were unavoidable but how many were caused by driving habits and "mods?" I highly doubt that all of this "just happened." Just sayin...

well the wheel and control arm got bent by a CAR KILLER pothole
master cylinder was leaking when i bought the car in 05 lol and the leaking MS probably caused the brake booster to fail
all normal stuff nothing tooooo bad

but for mods im sitting on a Series 1 S/C w/o a transmission the engine was out of a 93 park ave 93k on it i took the engine apart and ran all the stuff threw a parts cleaner and made it look all nice and new also a custom 2.8in pulley on the blower
buutt the engine w/ blower was 1k computer was $75
and the trans is $2600
its the 4t60e-hd off of the series 2
and i just cant afford that right now im saving up for it now and hope to have
i would love to use that 4t65e-hd but i dont think its possible from what i have read on www.v6z24.com
all this done by may
