i live near ft lauderdale and currently have a black Si, but it only looks good after i wash it and it probally stays clean for a whole 10 min, and u can see every little nic and swirl on the car. im tired of trying my hardest and it still looking like crap. i was thinking of painting it red with black flakes, or just any color except black. any suggestions are welcome. but back to my point, is there anywhere near ft lauderdale where they paint cheap but good quality paint.

once you get a deisel, you can put intake chip and exhaust on it and prety much double your fuel milage..my buddy has a 6.0 with those three things and gets around 18mpg around. but if he gets on it forget about it, you can watch the needle go down, but it does look badass when all you see is a black cloud covering the road

dam this thing has a whole bunch of torque, i took it out after everything was done and i turned out of my block in 4 low, and just got on it from a 5mph roll. the thing took off like a bat outa hell, it yanked my head back into the seat and popped the glove box out along with the plastic thing that goes around the radio...............but then right when i let off around 30mph i seen 5 cop cars at the house down the street  so i turned it around and headed back home and right when i pullled in the driveway one cop was behind me. he started giving me a long talk and i told him Ive been working on this thing for a week straight and just got it to run and i was seeing if the transmission was good (which it does) lol, so he let me go, thank god

well guys i found the problem $130 and 4 parts later. the ignition coil was giving spark to the distributer, but not enough. so bought a new coil and heard that baby prrr for the first time in a year. alot of back smoke came out and filled up my whole garage that was open, and my mom start bitching at me  but after we reved it up to clear it all out it stopped smoking and ran and idled perfect no knocking or anything, but we took it around the lake and we thought it was oil dripping but it was power steering line. so we replaced that and went to pepboys and bought a cheerybomb glass pack  so that nice little growl. so now I'm saving for my lift and 37's. thanks for all your help guys i really appreciate it.

im telling you right now. if you got spark its not the crank or cam sensor. make sure the sparks jumping at least one inch to ground. if its not you may have a bad coil. if you do have an in inch of spark. follow the path of the spark(coil-coil wire-cap-rotor-spark plug wires til you find the weakest link. hth, gery
Dam i wish i woulda known to not buy the C.P.S. there is plenty of spark that comes from the coil it jumps about an inch so i guess the coil is good, and i bought a brand new cap and rotor yestrday. tomorrow i am going to check out the wires and plugs and tell you how everything works out. thanks alot gery

C.P.S. camshaft position sensor I would need the vehicle to prove it. Your local shops should be able to handle that no problem.
i bought the c.p.s today for 53$ and put it in and it didn't help at all,but i am getting power at the C.P.S, theres a crank shaft position sensor that does the same thing. but tomorrow I'm going to check the plugs and wires before i do the crank shaft.p.s....thanks for looking up that stuff, it was a big help

OK well i bought a 1993 jeep grand Cherokee with a 5.2 v8 from my moms friend for $100 and I'm making it into a mudtruck. but currently it is not running. and the problem for it not running is that its not getting spark to the spark plugs. but when you take the plug that goes to the coil to the distributer cap and put a spark plug into the end of it, it gets spark. so i went and bought a new distributer cap and rotor but the same thing is happening. so the problem is something in the distributer cap but i have no clue what it is... any help would be greatly appreciated.
