don't waste $$ on new 'stiva stuff. Just do the aspire swap. You can hardly replace the rotors without a press anyways.

You should go back to where the other LX is and steal the mirrors and seats, and put them on your car!!

wow great looking tiva! i've got tow five speed shifter knobs with the shift pattern still on um, if you'd need one.

[Festiva_Fred]

wow...you need at least some new rotors....but much easier to replace the whole front hub if you can find some good used ones.

Yeah

I was thinking about doing the swap...maybe

I think the mirrors are good, but the seats aren't so good.

Some goodies I found in the glovebox!

Opened the glove box and found these

Nice find!
I have a Ford truck that color and wax did wonders for the faded paint, but after a couple month's it fads back out. You need to keep waxing it!!!!!

Changed the oil and filter today

Changed the oil and filter today, that old oil was dirty! I also drained the tank and put in fresh gas, and injecter cleaner. Also got a new battery, no more jumpstarting!
After doing all that, Old Red is running ALOT better the knocking noise completely went away and it idles alot smoother now Next are the plugs and wire, and air filter.

Heres the pics:

Dirty!

I like your oil drain pan!

I use the same thing for my oil changes. In fact, you don't need to jack the car up to change the oil. If you turn the passenger wheel all the way to the right you can get to the drain plug from the side, and your tub should clear the oil pan with the wheels on the ground.

Did you replace the fuel filter too? It's probably clogged up with crud from the gas tank.
