If it was Sat. late in afternoon it was me.

If you go DG I may be interested in your stock lip

Got a valve cover too

pm'd you

Ebay may have some as well, if you haven't tried yet. That's where I got mine

New motor is running good so far. Here's the link for the original motor. Would like to get rid of the whole thing, but will part out if no one steps up http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1892134#post1892134

I had to get on it, what can I say? It's my daily driver so I had to make things happen. I won't pick it up until tommorrow, I'm out of town for work

Motor swapped. Back on the road as of yesterday.

Shane02PRO5: A-1 imports is who I went through, I just noticed you had it listed

motor purchased.

Update, I'm buying a used motor. 50k for $800, $650 for the install. As for me being a dumbass, yes I did drop the ball on this one. Im the one who always takes the extra effort to take care of the car. I park far away from anyone, keep tabs on everything, drive it easy. Basically I baby...

Count me out. But I'll go for the ride. I read the regs, they don't want me ( valid registration, proof of inspection, etc.) Oh well.

Anybody else got any ideas as far other routes I should go? The car is at the shop but I haven't dropped any money yet

That's what I got from the dealer as well.

I thought I was getting a decent deal, a new block w/ no miles and warranty for 5 yrs. Money is an issue though, but so is time. Bumming rides sucks

Yeah, but there is no telling how the rest of the internals are i.e. rings

A week ago a fellow board member and I installed an aftermarket SS radiator hose. Early this morning while I was dragging ass into work it apparentlly popped off. By the time I snapped to notice my temp. gauge it was too late. The head was blown. Now I'm going to do a complete motor swap...

I agree, I hadn't seen that UGD rear lip other than their pics. Looks good, but would better w/o the stock bumper showing through. That black vinyl might do the trick, the only other thing would be to let the body shop mold it. Clean car overall though. BTW, how much was that rear lip?

For my VA plate you mean? Every other year

I run expired-ass VA. tags, I just get the sticker on the plate updated. Cops here don't know any better. The fine for not having your tags changed over within 30 days is $90. I've gotten 1 ticket in 3yrs. With so many out-of-towners in Austin it's been easy.
