Well the car is finally out! woohoo! so i am down for some meets. its got a nice little increase in power. just a warning tho DONT USE RPM. heres why...
1) it WAS supposed to take them a week to do, it took a month.
2) original price quote $750. then bumped to $1000 after it was dropped off
3) after it took a month, they would not bring to price back down any for the inconvenience
4) they never cleared the CEL. i have to pay the dealership to flash the ECU for me to clear
5) when i went to pay the $1000, they said thats only labor..and charged another $160 for fluids
6) My deck is not longer mounted, its just laying in the dash where its supposed to go. I have to go to the place that installed the deck for me today to have them remount it
7) dont ask me HOW this happened... but my radar detector will not get as loud as it used to be with the volume all the way up. i cant hear it over my music anymore
so.. there ya go. dont use RPM.
other than that, the car is running awesome and i love it. the new clutch is a bitch to get used to tho. and the front mount heat exchanger looks ****** awesome in the lower grille

meh its alright i guess. I would try and see what you can do to get ur old car back u don't really want that on ur or ur aunts credit and ultimately it sounds like a bit better option. just hit her up and say look i'm willing to do what it takes to get this fixed if ur not going to be a ****. tell her ur not paying for a car that u dont have and she doesn't want a repo on her credit. So she needs to either chill out and stop being a bitch and help you or ultimately pay for it. Right now isnt the time to have bad credit so if she plans on buying anything in the next few years she already hurt herself and could well make it worse
