Not exactly what an "ultimate driving machine" is for.

It's taken an entire year to make it dependable for me. I didn't drive it up to Ok. I had to make sure it would make the trip. The best MPG improvement was replacing different aged coil packs. Plus, single point iridium plugs. Since I'll have help for suspension work, I may pull the trigger on injectors. How long do those last? I've been running Seafoam once every few months to clean the injectors. With the battery now lasting longer than a week with no drain, once it's back, it's a daily driver.
