BEHOLD!! I did a bit of engine cleaning (and scraping of salt off the muffler and tailpipe) and I got this! Who knew there was such a nice car under all that dirt!
A little bit of engine cleaning, 25 mins worth (probably NEVER done)
The interior is still dirty as fuck, but well, that will wait till the spring.
EASY driving this thing, cruises along at 70 MPH w/no vibrations, 85 MP/h with a SLIGHT case of steering wheel nervousness. Turns heads tho, NO ONE (including the customs agent) knows what the hell this thing is!!

jed you made it. good stuff, yeah man when i was up there with mine i went to a pep boys and i came outside to a crowd of 20 teens checking out the car, no lie i thought that was hilarious. they all ran like cockroaches when i was walking towards the car
Yeah, I was changing the thermostat (and I didnt buy a gasket) so I had to use a Sonata 4G64 one, make it it... I decided to clean the motor while it was all apart.

If not cleaner... w/15 inch rims (these are winter 13's, hideous wheels w/nissan hubcaps but good, new tread), tinted windows, a low pro spoiler, and finished bodywork to the rear driver's QP and fuel door, as well as the bonnet front (there's some mild/moderate rust in two spots)
I want to make this car last 5+ years.... Boy is it going to need a valve lash adjustment when I return! PING PING < 2K rpm!

No man it's valve lash... tonight on the Jones Beach highway I took it to 110 MPh, and it was fine, but I know the sound of valve lash when I hear it!!
Feeler gauge, my friend, you will be employed upon my return to Canadia!!
I hope I don't have "jet valves" installed!

no jet valves on that one. my 2.4 has them, easy to adjust too, i dont know why everybody dumps a load in their pants when jet valves are involved, its the same as adjusting valve lash
