Honestly guys and gals. I am not about speed or upgrades. I'm a 30 y/o man with a family. I need a reliable car, not a fast one to give me headaches.

Thanks IM0812. Its not as half as bad as others make it out to be. I've had worse than this and made it into showcars. Just think, I got this car not running and a bad ecu. Its just time and some money. A car is a car. if you know how it works and know what your doing the cheaper it will be.

just to keep driving you forward could look like this
not sure if youll like it stating your in your 30s not saying your old or anything just saying its more of what the younger folks look into and just an idea if you like.

All im saying is speed isnt everything and fixing cars isnt that big of a deal. I like looks too. Dont get me wrong. If its reliable and gets me going to where i need to be safely then count me in. But i am a wheel *****! I know my way around cars, but sometimes i have dumb questions. Not everyone knows everything.

i think it's a great car since all you want is reliability. stick with it. why does the core support need to be replaced though? the damage doesn't look that bad from the pix.

do you have any codes?

I threw 2 codes. A misfire and a o2 sensor. That's it. The core was smashed on the tow dolly. I got all my parts for 250. I am not poor. I have a great union job. Money is not an issue
