your car doesnt work does it? thought so. and keep talking.. i bet i run a faster time at the track and my car doesnt have battery issues..


and i dont have the money to put a big block in it. just trying to swap some parts out of mine and put it into it.

my car was previously wrecked and they didnt do a good job replacing some parts... so in theory

could i use a V6 as a body parts car..

edit: read above post. thanks.
