Change your oil very month, wash your car twice a week and you will have it forever.

Truth.

with mobile one there is no point to change the oil every month… and she gets washed anywhere from 1-3 times a week…

Once a month oil changes?

This isn’t 1970 anymore…

I go strictly by the oil life meter in my car. I use the recommended oil (mobil 1) and ac delco oil filter. It’s what GM recommends and that’s what I am going to do until it blows up which hopefully won’t be for another 100,000 miles.

Im pretty sure you wont be able to clear 35s with just a leveling kit. Gm trucks dont have that big of wheel openings. You should have no problem running 33s with a leveling kit. If your gonna run 35s, I’d take a look into like a 4" lift at least. Also, if you are going with 35s have you thought about changing your gearing? I know I read on one of the forums about going with bigger tires screws with the allison tranny. You should take a look into it to be on the safe side.

the rims are coming off my buddies truck whos also has a duramax/allison and only cranked up the torsion bars… they fit with little to no rubbing. he never had a problem with the tranny because of the tire size. but with his tuner, now thats another story…

why not? miles are still “low”, just about all possible maintenance is done and it will likely never be worth more than it is now. after i finish detailing it i think i can get some good $$ for it. plus im looking to get into something that can be a DD and a longterm project at the same time (build swap on the side). something that can be reliable yet still give me “something to work for”, win-win i think. this is not the car i want to do that in. i love the MR2 but 92.7 in the 1/4 with no room to grow without turbo’ing it, twincharging it, or 3S-GTE or 20v 7A-GTE swapping it isn’t cutting it for me :lol

not \> \* but i do love it. i also love drifting. i also enjoy being able to keep up with cars that trap higher than 95. any car that i buy to replace the MR2 will eventually, if not out of the box, do better than it at all 3.

the only reason i “hype up” auto x so much is because it seems that only 5% of the people here have tried it. i’ve always loved drag/roll/street racing but there’s no reason to talk about it 'caus “everyone” else does too, ya know?
