Got it runing, but engine went kaboom.
 
Well my car still looks good though, I want to say thank you to all those who have helped me first off. I have a better picture of my car now, so take a look.

My engine was always bad to start with, even after getting bugs worked out, I did get to put exactly 1 mile on it though.

Yeh I have all the signs of kaboom motor, lots of oil burning more and more, really low vacuum, like 8 pounds at idle, and just too rough to be normal. But damn does it still sounds good.

Oh well, I look on the bright side, I have 10 fingers and 10 toes still even after doing all of putting car back together thing.

damn that sucks, how old was the motor?

7racer 02-24-04 06:26 PM

unique car....but who rebuilt the motor??? 1 mile?? did it boost spike on you?

FormerPorscheGuy 02-24-04 06:54 PM

Good looking car. I hope you can get a new engine in that thing before spring comes around.

nless7 02-24-04 06:54 PM

nah, motor was mazda rebuilt, sat for a year, ran about 30 miles on it and then sat for another 2 years.

Good looking car. I hope you can get a new engine in that thing before spring comes around.

It appears to be the factory RSP (Royal Sapphire Pearl) Supra color, or similar in nature to it.

The car looks phenomenal, and I am sorry in regards to your motor troubles. Hopefully it will turn out for the better.

sucks about the motor man, i've seen it before i believe, but it was a while ago. hopefully you'll get it up and running again by the time all our damn snow melts! gorgeous car man.

Stan94GT 02-25-04 02:51 AM

Hmm.... maybe a dumb comment but check that the vacuum line going to the MAP sensor is connected and that the check valve is pointing in the right direction.

SPOautos 02-25-04 03:05 AM

Also make sure you leading coil is hooked up right and that its putting out pleanty of spark. They tend to feel VERY much like a blown engine when they go bad, they even make the vac real low

felix_is_alive 02-25-04 06:00 AM

thats a nice car ,looks clean

SNracing 02-25-04 06:47 AM

that car looks sweet! now hurry up and get a new engine put in it, and drive it more than once every 2 years :D

nless7 02-25-04 07:54 PM

Thanks for ur replys guys, this forum has always been helpful with my car and the search system is great.

I would like 25,000 out of the car as is, but thats a joke, I know. So for now I'm saving money, I think a 3 rotor might be in the future. I would have to do more research though and thats if I still have the car too.

But thanks everyone.

nless7 02-25-04 07:56 PM

Oh, and yes it is RSP, blue by day, purple by night.

nless7 02-25-04 07:59 PM

One more thing, I've checked everything now, and even if the motor is not blown, there is still something wrong with it being it drinks oil; and no its not from my turbo.

thanx

stevecod 02-25-04 09:41 PM

nice fd!!
 
nless7, you have a very very nice looking FD. very clean.
hope you slap that 3rotor on soon.
