I would just make the probe a daily driver and drive it till the wheels fell off of it!

i think the complete wiring on the car is pretty much fried, not worth the effort but all the parts are good, im also a little hessitant to tear a car down and part it out like on ebay or something.

four girl roomates actually, two of them are sdsu cheerleaders. its nice but sometimes theres just too much estrogen, but anyway, its a low milage car and the bay is beautifull, i just find it hard to believe that its to small since it came on a 2.2l that reds at 7, has to be some practical use for the b16
