Ol' Dirty Noodle Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well this thing is just gonna be a daily, I was looking at XS's originally but when I saw the XTs were also well within my price range the turbo bug started biting. You know if the NAs are as problematic with the oil? A lot of the ones I've seen make a point to say the head gaskets were done and that both diff fluids were changed.

NA's are not as problematic (aside from headgaskets and oil pickup tubes) it's usually the turbo ones having the big issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, there are aftermarket better replacements (killer B motorsports makes the pickup tube for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol' Dirty Noodle Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 That's all I needed to hear, so next question is it illegal to wrap the 40 in Swedish police vinyl with a blue light bar on the roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. And please don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
