How many miles can you go on a 2.2?
Monday, June 25, 2007 1:53 PM
I was wondering how many miles you could go on a stock 2200. B/C im tryin to buy another J before i go to college b/c im not taking my 99 GT to wyotech. Its to nice of a car to take it up there and have it rust plus im want to keep it down here. Im plaining on puttin my boosted Ld9 under the hood. anyway theres a 94 5spd Cavi thats for sale near my house and the guy wants 300 bucks for it nothing is wrong with it the inside needs some tlc not much tho but the motor as 207k miles on it. Should i get it and just drive it till i come across another 2200 or should i forget it and keep lookin? Thanks for the help

99z for 2015.. I'm back bitches

My plains for the car are to tape it off and spray paint it flat black or just black. lower it 2 inchs and take my stock wheels off my GT and slap them on the Cavi. What do you guys think of that would it look ok? thanks

If its a beater. Go for it. Don't sink a lot of cash into it, save for your fire.

312,789 miles but my trans is screwed, so until I find a nice replacement it's just sitting there.
