New owner in Dallas Area

Hey guys,

Been lurking for a awhile and now a member

I got an 05 White 6speed. Bought it some months ago. It has some issues, been fixing it. Have to say I love the car. I have faith and hope i can get it running soon.

Las Colinas here, but all my car stuff is out west towards Roanoke for now. I get over your way every week or two though. have one loaned put to someone else. Let me see where he’s at on it, but really they don’t charge that much to rent one mow.

Thanks for the link!

How do I manually turn over the engine (seriesI)?

I want to look inside the spark plug hole and visually inspect the apex seals.
