Actually, the Intake was a hand-me-down, coilovers...I took off my old hatch, and the exaust i picked up from carmax. carmax will take performance parts of cars and just throw them away. SPent 50 on the greddy cuz they had to charge me somthing

Yes they will my 4runner I bought from them lasted about 8 months, screw
carmax. Sorry if anyone works there they may be good to their employees but they suck in the customer area. I know way off subject. But thats cool $50 for a Greddy.

yea i worked at carmax for a few months last year..its tru they throw aftermarket parts away..when i was working there they had an eclipse come in with all kinds of **** on it..the mechanic replaced all the **** with oem **** and threw away all the aftermarket stuff..including a turbo apexi N1..unorthodox under drive pullys.. K&N filter ..no name short shifter..i was like since your throwing all of these parts away can i have them? he said i dont car they are garbage..so i took the pullys and painted them hot pink and hung threm on the wall..then sold the free Apexi N1 muffler after i cut off all the pipeing for 150 bucks ..then i quit because carmax sucks

for $50 I can have a lot more fun than some minor bolt ons will get you.

PBR 6 pack-$3.00
$50/3.00=16 6 packs
16*6=96 beers

tell me whats more fun? 6 days of steady drunkeness or some bolt ons?
