Well, I have reached the end of my patience with this engine and basicaly the car itself. I spent close to a year driving it around with the fuel cut, and as soon as I spend $1500 to get the wiring fixed more **** keeps happening. Such as me needed a new afm, my axcel breaking, some new sputtering that started the other day, the exhaust leak no one can seem to fix for longer then 3 days, and not to mention the car being overdue for a smog by a year. So I quit, I dont know if I am going to sell the car or keep it for awhile... Maybe I will do what K2 did and get an MR2 turbo.
As for the engine, its going to shid. I guess were doing a straight trade, which totally sucks after spending like 10k on this swap business. But atleast it will have a good home, if shid can tame the mean spirit My car leaves behind. |

why it was the best:
most fun car ive ever driven consistantly continues to amaze me as to the limits of it t-tops are the shiznit turbo is likewise... the shiznit 2 seater means i dont gotta drive my friends everywhere competitive to race even in stock form why it was the worst: its a very tempramental car and i baby it as such, which means i dont even drive it in the rain lol ive had my fair share of problems with it, upkeep is pretty expensive, thank god theres something called the MR2OC which you can buy anything and everything through going through 2 winters with a 93 eclipse that doesnt have a working heater, is automatic, and stalls out isnt the most fun thing to do for 6 months out of the year. I AM FLAT-ON-MY-ASS-BROKE and i am constantly reminded of it -------------------- ![]() Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...
