So, I have a few questions. I would be able to pick up a 6th gen convertable for about 1.5k, but the interior, exterior, top are rough. The car runs well and the transmission shifts smoothly.
I just need an opinion if it is a good buy. I am also thinking about putting what I bought it for back into the car if I get it. Also it has about 100k miles on it. Thank you for the help. |

I like the Mobil1 and K&N oil filters personally, Wix makes a good filter as well. It's funny you mention toilet paper since back in the 70's there were universal canister filter kits that used a roll of toilet paper as the filtering medium.

It's funny you mention toilet paper since back in the 70's there were universal canister filter kits that used a roll of toilet paper as the filtering medium. I did buy K&N until they moved their sourcing to Mexico and their quality went down (per forum posts on Bob is the Oil Guy). I love how the K&N Ultra's say that they will filter up to 15K miles. Who the hell is going to not change their filter after 15K miles?! Haha! I don't know how anyone can expect a synthetic oil to have additives that will last up to 10K miles either, let alone the particles in oil... --------------------  2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |
