the coil thing seem like a good idea, if i had the money I'd do it. But i can pick up a water pump and opti for a little over $200, figured I'd do it now before it leaves me somewhere. I've seen it before when working at castriots chaevy and autoway pontiac, plus somone i know has gon through a couple on two different lt1s, so better safe than sorry for me. they're getting changed. And the Talon was easy to work on, I could change anything on that car in record time.....cause i had to work on so often. But it was a fun car, surprised a lot of people

depends sometimes jeremy...they have been known to go right outta the blue, and he has an unvented opti, and gl finding an unvented for under 250 or so...jump on camaroz28.com and search for Dal..he works for a dealership outta state and as far as i know gets them the cheapest..may even wanna talk to leon, Zdriver96. as for putting one in..it can be a pita because you could put it in backwards and have to spend another 2.5-4 hours redoing the install.

I'll get done right the first time, I'm not worried about that at all.

I worked on it more than I drove it.......I owned it for two years, put about 6k miles on it.......and it was my daily driver!!!! I'm good at getting rides to work though....

i know that the 92-94 opti have three drain holes on the bottom they don't do anything, You can drill them out to make them bigger though, And autozone has it for like $159 (but theres a $90 core charge)

Its so much nicer driving the formula, On the talon, i had prothane motor mounts, removed balance shafts, and bigger cams. At an Idle It would feel like one of those chairs at brookstone in the mall, you know with all the massaging shit in it......And if I put the A/C on it was a whole other story....talk about uncomfortabe....the dash would jump up and down like an inch......so driving the formula is great
