Matt I said light pink not bright pink and yes any ATX will have problems if abused thats why she needs to check these things. The thing that would scare me the most is the milage on the ATX. Thats a lot of miles mine died at 146k miles and it was behind a weaker motor and had religious maitenance, I ran the plates at Jiffy Lube and they had the customer history for the last 7 years so most of the cars life since its a 96. So chances are hers won't make it that far even if it had religious maintenance due to the fact that she has a more powerful motor. That is only 30K miles away too, assuming it lasts as long as mine did. So at 15k miles a year thats 2 years.
