Just bought a 96 GT hatch. Haven't really done anything to it yet except get the exhaust fixed. Driving just fine to my mechanic's house to have him look at it and all of a sudden I start to hear a clinking noise. He says it's a rod and the dealership quoted me $1400 in labor and about $3k in parts.....Please, anyone have some helpful information on what I should do and the least expensive way to fix it? Thanks

If it's rod knock it isn't going to be cheap to fix.
You either need to go buy a new(er) 5s-fe and install that, or look into buying a 3SGE or 3SGTE. If you purchase a full clip or halfcut you'll have everything you need to swap it over. Just send your harnesses to Dr tweak and then it's plug and play. You'll need to have an exhaust made as well. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
