$500 dollars to whomever can make my car run well - NE ohio

Hi guys,

I've got a 88 turbo II with a small coolant leak coming from the intake manifold o rings. I need someone to fix that, and then figure out why my car won't run more than 25 minutes before it fouls plugs. I don't care what you have to do or buy, I've got another 500 for parts. If it takes you one hour to fix it, I'll give you 500 bucks. If it takes 10 weeks I'll give you 500 bucks.

I don't want to part the car out, its sooooo beautiful. I've got 1k to play with to make it work, no garage to work on it myself.

Or you can buy the car for 3500.

MODS:
Garrett 50 trim
Greddy FMIC
550 x 4 (720s available)
5lb wastegate spring
externally venting BOV
Atkins Rotary Motor
Turbo back exhaust.

Call me 44O-339-7959

rx7store didn't seem interested. He just said they'd swap a new motor rather than investigate the problem.

You talked with one of us at the store and thats what we said? You must of made it sound like a coolant seal issue in the motor if we said it needed to be replaced. Either way you can give me a call and we wouldnt charge you to diagnose the problem.
