i was there last week.. omp went out.. diff is breaking.. had to limp the car home last week and borrow my moms truck all this week., was fustrated cuz the prior week i bought some new rear tires that set me back $200.. just a few weeks b4 my car was down for breaking a bolt on the water pump jacket.. today i installed a rtek chip today in order to pull the omp and go premix.. now tomarrow i gotta limp my car around to a friends house to pull a lsd, *i will have to remove it from his car*, then fit it into mine, than install the omp block off plates.

Its hard to get rid of your car because of friends typically going "nah man dont get rid of your car its cool" etc lol.
trust, i got rid of my built 240 into a benz cuz i was tired of worrying about theft/law etc, while all my friends still played with rwd cars, i got the itch to get back into the game so thats when i got into my rx7 lol

Well, thats just how it goes owning these cars. Some day you'll get to the point where you replaced everything breakable and it will run ok for a few years.

I used to think I was the only one who would fix **** and other **** would break down. I guess not. Or I would break something in the process of trying to fix something else. Live and learn I guess.

You'll be allright dude. Been there done that. Best thing to do is pick up a $200 beater and take the car off the road and fix as much as you possibly can at once. Best thing to do for an oil leak: Put the front end up in the air, remove the belly plate, degrease as much as you possibly can. Start the car up and let it run for a bit, then shut it off and look for leaks. Make sure you check after fixing a leak. I resealed my oil pan (pain in the ***) and started it up. Found out it wasn't just the oil pan, but the oil level sensor too. I wanted to take a sledge to the engine after that... lol.
