As for the R1 E-Line, they're already dirt cheap for D%S rotors, 200 bucks shipped, you guys can't be that poor
As for what's wrong with the car well a few things,
1. The car's front passenger side brakes, im not sure which pad, is scraping against the rotor, i've changed the pads, the rotors and the clips that the pads sit in, and it's still doing it, making a high pitched squeaking noise whist driving it. I've since taken the wheel off and lubed it all up even more with the caliper and brake grease ****, the noise has gone down a tad, but the only thing i can think of left is the 2 bolts that slide into the slider part of the caliper that you're supposed to grease, which i dumped grease into as well. I'm at a loss there. I'll come back to this later. Oh i also wire brushed and sanded down any rust where the sliders sit and all around the caliper that had rust, so it looks like new ish. The sound has minimized but when you roll the window down it is still there.
2. When you go over a bump, the only way i can describe this is like a match box car who's wheels slide from the right to the left. It seems to do that, and it feels so weird i freak out as if the car is going to fall apart. I believe it might be the sway bar end links are shot or it needs a new sway bar.
3. It needs a new exhaust as her car has this nice grumble to it, but it's only because the exhaust is rusting out by my guess and or might have a hole in it. But it sounds ballsier than it did when she got it. That's how she describes it.
4. The plugs, wires and coil packs need to be replaced for 100% sure. i took them apart and you can see all the rust and corrosion in there and they've never been replaced since stock. The car has an issue when you first start it, it cuts off, and forces you to start it a second time. I believe new plugs and wires and packs will solve this problem.
5. It needs new control arms most likely because what i can only describe as rust/corrosion so bad they look like they thinned out so much, im just waiting for it fall off.
6. It needs new shocks and struts for sure because it rides like complete ****.
The car itself has 110K on the clock as well in case anyone was wondering. Most of the stuff on this car has never been replaced or maintained. So i have a ton of work ahead of me.
I have some pictures of some of the work i did and i'll upload them here in a few.
