Congrats OP, I really like the Fiesta and Focus ST. I would love to have a full bolt on Fiesta with a little bigger turbo (just to surprise the [censored] out of people.) Originally Posted By: Rand On the other hand.. the "woven cotton filter" is just bad. Accessport will void warranty as...

It really is a shame, because they are nice. In my opinion, the only vehicles worth buying as far as GMC goes is the Yukon and Sierra, but they are so high priced nowadays. It's just absurd.

TBN for new Mobil 1 TDT is 10.7 if anyone is curious.

We had a AAA tow in a while back and the Civic had about 150k miles on it, had a cracked block. Originally Posted By: InhalingBullets My question is how the heck would the dealer know the car had been salvaged. If your not trading it in they are not going to look at the state title. I would...

Could be a data error on the app. Would need to know if he's changed plugs recently and things of that nature. Quite a few Cobalt guys with the Interceptor gauge get those codes for cylinders 5+ too, but nothing to worry about.

I haven't personally owned Nexens but they are a decent tire. If you have the money, spend it on Michelin LTX's. My dad has them on his F250, and a co-worker has them on his 2012 Duramax. Worth the money imo.
