That sol and your "friend" are POS, (pieces). My advice: find a way to screw him up, and drive the car until it dies, while saving money for a sol or a car that's not beyond help. You can buy a nice sol for around 3k, or less.
EDIT: No offense intended on my words about you car, man, but "comes a time" when you have to "give up the ghost". Most cars have "diminishing returns", even cars that are kept in pristine condition. IMO, unless it's a supercar, or 50+ years old, your wasting your money on this one. Sentimental value?
