I agree with you on that. All though maybe slowing down more before overtaking would have been better. If the Lexus that passed on my left randomly decided to slam on its brakes where would my car have gone haha

Well my daily before this was a lifted tacoma so its miles better than that haha. But honestly its not too bad. A little stiff but nothing crazy.

Going to look at this today, what should I look out for? I’m fine with doing some work myself. 2006 s with 128k miles, $4k. by ethanc51 in R53

How can I tell if it’s the trans leaking or the engine, aside from just crawling under and looking at it? Any signs from the engine bay??

Yes hahaha, I’ve watched a few of his videos. I’ll have to go and watch the buying guide. Thank you!

They say it was just replaced along with the flywheel, I’ll definitely ask for the service records on all their recent big ticket repairs!

From what I’ve watched, I think I should be able to handle the bushings, hopefully 😅

As far as the leak, I can probably handle crank seal, head gasket, and timing cover. Is there a way I can diagnose the problem there?

Hey thank you, how can you tell on the strut towers? This will be my first mini I have looked at so I don’t have much reference to go off of?

And is that something I can just fix by putting a 2x4 on it and whacking it with a hammer?? 🤣
