yeah! i guess everything is so packed on that little island that they don't have to drive far to get what they need or go somewhere. how many miles did the original engine have?
hey new to the cite but have had my g2 for 7 months, anyway, if it is lowered check the inside of all the tires, it will be worn if it has camber problems which are a bitch to get worked out.(bough kit for mine and then the tire started rubbing on somethin, and the camber ws still off by a bit.).
i'd have it inspected by a mechanic that you trust once you find one that you are really interested in. it's worth the money in the long run. also if your state has emissions, get the person to take the car to get emissions tested...i got screwed over that way
