i can still pass people in my car. it doesnt matter how big your engine is.

4 cyclinder engines can be 200 hps (h22) and do a more effieient job than a v6 engine (J30).

is passing people in your already slow CL your first priority? go buy a faster car if you wanna do that.

This is exactly what my bushings looked like when I had them all replaced, THIS is why I preach so much about our shitty disintegrating bushings, now I have proof to show what I'm talking about

There are v6 engines that can get better gas mileage than a 4 cylinder. Engine size only plays so much of a role. Gearing plays a much bigger role.

But I understand your statement reffered to the h22 and j30 alone, so I'll give you that.

There are no slow or fast cars on the road now a days. Only built and stock cars.

These arguements are just broad statements. We never get anywhere with them. Let's just end it with

h22 = j30

and be done with it...

actaully, those are pics of my bushings. they were in good shape but the bolt that goes through that bushing was stuck on there. it in pieces because i had to burn them out and cut out the old bushings.

Calgary cars don't rust like that.. mine was on the lift yesterday and there isn't any rust. GTA area (where I'm from back in 2001) uses too much salt on the roads, and there's slush clinging to the underside of the car that we don't get here.

I heard take the rubber off and clean out any debris periodically, if it traps dirt and water I could see the premature rusting
