i think the biggest benefit to fixin up cheap cars like these is that you get to learn all of those small lil parts that 90% of people dont know about so its time he hit the books or buy an '09
why do you keep implying that he needs to "hit the books" and "i suggest you learn how to tell what parts are wearing" as if he's a 2nd grader or something?

besides chiltons is garbage . FSM or go home

I mean, there's really nothing wrong with replacing OE parts with upgrade parts either, whether the OE parts need replacing. I had no idea if my rear link bushings actually needed to be replaced, but I got the ES poly ones anyways. Turns out they were kinda in need of replacement but not really. LCA bushings I know they're dead... tierods too. Balljoints I'm not sure about but I figure i may as well replace them. stuff like that..
