1)not turbo( :P) 2) loose PS belt (FIXED) 3) timing belt looks a lil worn on 1 side, but ok otherwise 4) plug wires were dying (spent $40 on some BOSCH, and gonna use the warranty if these die as fast as the last) 5) probably need new plugs 6) PCV valve and hose needs replaced 7) valve gaskets(all of them) need replaced 8)head gasket leaking like a used up hooker 9) hole in flex section of exhaust 10) oil pan looks like a bat's been taken to it 11) 2 o2 sensors dead
and that's all that I can remember right off....holy mother of god it's gonna be a lonnnnnggggg winter....

with what i make...try a year or 2 :/ but anyway....#1 on the list is the biggest priority, since the valve cover and plug thing i'm fixing thrusday, and the 02 sensors are the only 2 that dont horribly affect the car, lol
oh..and one more to the list... the CEL bulb burned out :D

-that wont take too much to fix...wires and plugs take 10 min...the valve gasket wont take long at all..o2 easy -find a shop that does custom bending for your exhaust open it up to 3" while youre at it - timing belt is a bitch and head gasket and oil pan(as long as its not leaking fuck it for now)...yikes -you could probably fix almost everything on a saturday and still have time to rub one out to some pictures of lindsay lohans titties before it gets dark
goodluck

the belt SHOULD be fine, since it's new..just rubbed the cover a lil i guess.... as for the oilpan, the turbokit i'm thinking of buying the guy is including a new already tapped pan :P the rest is all a matter of $$..and the lohan comment...sorry, I don't do that anymore...after surgery though..that may be a different story :P
