OK. Dont know which to get done 1st

[Shadow1]

ok. i got a couple of problems right now. and i need some imput on which yall would suggest i get 1st.


Tires: i need some tires. not insanely bad but i dont want to be rolling around on the tires i have now. i have a tad bit of camber wear on the inside. i have Goodyears up front and BFGoodrich in the back(DERN i loved these tires. BFG's were so sticky to me and looked so good with all the meat they had on them.)


Oil leak: see now heres the problem. my car likes to play with my emotions sometimes. one day ill drive for like 15min and i can smell the oil leaking onto the exhaust. ill check it and it might be like 1/2 quart low. but the next day. nothing. no oil loss. even if i beat on it. nothing. but i do see where oil is leaking from the timing belt side. my balance shaft seal has a retainer on it, but its not a new seal. i have over 200k on it.

Suspension: it sucks. im on freakin ebay coils and i hate it. daily driving is somewhat ok. but sucks for highway use. sideswipe recently got some KYB's for a good price off line. said the ride was a LOT better than OEM struts. for a set, it'll cost me $200. at least.

plus before all of that i have a couple of people to pay back 1st. but them before my car tho.

any suggestions?

Fix that leak. Be warned that it might be coating your timing belt.

..oil leak ftw

Think of it this way...

If your motor isnt running,

The suspension and tires are useless...

i would get tires

but the oil leak isnt bad. at all. i mean on the way to SC, i had to put 2 quarts in. 4hr drive. but on the way back, i didnt have to put any in. and i was speeding the entire way back too so like i said. its an oil leak that likes to mess with my head yo.

i do want some. ive been looking for whole set since ive got these rims. they havent had a matching set since then. finally i found some on tirerack.com for $198 shipped in the size i want.

A small oil leak can easily turn into an even bigger problem later on down the road. Just fix it now then have fun with your suspension and tires

from what your saying the leak isnt that bad but its there, bad tires are never fun an ebay coils suck


when i had my ebay coils i only bought used tires, i wouldnt spend the money for brand new tires if my struts/springs where not updated also
