Okay well. It's alive! Only to be taken apart again because of a few issues. Found a few minor oil leaks which I left loose for a reason and forgot about it.. lol Like the banjo bolt to the turbo so I can make sure it had oil flow. I'll upload a short cellphone video of it running shortly. After it ran for a few minutes just long enough to flash the CEL at me. So I shut her off only to find that I had 2 codes waiting on me. 51 and 52, UGH! knock sensors, but it's only a bad knock sensor. I tested the tps and it's bad along with testing the knock sensor to find out the wires are still in good shape but the ks itself is dead. So I have a tps, ks and a dimmer switch on the way.

On a side note though I changed out the old tires finally, went with Hankook Ventus Rs-3's 225/50z/16's sitting at 32 psi. Two of the old tires were matching but were the wrong size 205/55/16, the left front was a 205/50/16 and the right front was a 225/50/16. I bet the car drove like shit with all different tires.

They've already started stripping the front end to cut out what they need.

After all this is said and done I'll have my car back at a reasonable price but only primed. The red shell might be going up for parts after I've gotten everything off of it I need/want. It's not much of an update but still an update.

And this is what I'm currently driving.. 08 dodge avenger with the 2.4 VVT. I miss my car..:nono:
