Im bout to do this on my 06 fwd base model matrix. I got it for 3.5k and I love the car. When i first got it I took it on the freeway and hauled ass and the way the car just revs and revs and keeps going i was like damn this lil thing has a little pep . I also had a 2001 toyota camry and it was a 2.2l and that was a nice zippy daily as well. Great cars

Nice bro! Yeah it's a car I didn't expect to love at all. I got mine because my first kid was coming, needed something bigger. I found this one for 1k, definitely been a journey but we'll worth it. Weak point on these cars is lack of rear adjustability, once it's dialed it's like a whole new car. I appreciate the support ! 🤘🏼

Can’t to do this to mine, it’s gonna be so fun. (I live where salt is used)

[@Ma70rk]

Does that make it rust out? Are you gonna have to resort to destroying it out?
