Aaahhhh!!! So my car let me down today (well yesterday to b exact) I started it up and BAM, It would stutter and did not even want to start and then it would backfire. Then a cloud of white smoke would come out. So I guess my water seal is done. Which means...Rebuild time. I have an N/A and will keep it as an N/A. But damn what a rough start to a day. Damn, I gotta find a rebuild kit.

 

a good example why we should buy a honda or toyota

 

Or Nissan. sshhhh...Lol. Hell No. Although they r a pain sometimes. I'll stick with my Rotary. (but maybe a honda or toyota on the side. ; )

 

let me know if you want it rebuilt for you.

 

Karack is good stuff. nothing but positive reviews. one of the top dudes in NorCal from what i hear.

 

my wrx is less reliable than my rx7, btw my wrx is new too...anyways you can try atkins rotary for a rebuilt kit.

 

Karack: how much to rebuild? Where are you located? PM me please.

 

The fc used to be my most reliable car til I bought a volvo

 

So I found somebody to rebuild my engine...and as long as the engine is out I thought hhmmm why don't I port. DAMN! That is a great idea so maybe this is a blessing in disguise. So I am going to get a mild Streetport. We'll see what happens. The teardown starts tomorrow. Anybody wanna help? : )

 

i would but your too far..

:AA:

 

Dammit! Thanks tho. Common thats jus a lil far. : )

 

if i did id want some gas money or something..and that **** isent happening. who rebuilding it?

:AA:

 

I kno it's hella far. There is a guy that I know here in Sacramento that works on my car that said he'll rebuild it. For a GREAT price too!

 

at least you see your rebuild as positive! haha
hope your builder knows his rotaries! mines getting put back together by ben aka karack now so i hope to be and see you at a sac meet soon!

 

Ya my rebuild should be done by next week.

 

damn! that's quick..dont get your hope up tho..as **** happens..

:AA:

 

Yeh make sure he warranties the motor or somethin...most reputable builders will warranty their motors.

 

Ya he said the motor will be warrantied...and I am sure that **** will happen but we'll see. He is REALLY good with rotaries so I am not worried. WooHoo rebuild starts today. Hope it doesn't rain...

 

Take down commenced and finished. I'll post pics a lil' later. It was kind of a pain because this is the first engine that I have ever taken apart but all went well. Now that everything is out I will probably change up all the hoses and little things like that also. I will be taking the engine to the person rebuilding my motor today and then its playing the waiting game. Damn I am fuc^*n stoked about this new motor! Can't wait to hear my baby GROWL(my car dosn't purr...Lol) once again...

 

sweet! thats pretty quick to have your car back in a week! mine should be done this week but i havent driven her in more than a month!
so your builder must already have had all the parts on hand. looking forward to seein your car freshly rebuilt at the meet next to my freshly rebuilt too!

 

listen to the man whos owns a couple of older 70s Celicas

 

Yup hopefully I'm crossing my fingers. We'll see who does a better job at rebuilding...Lol. The guy is actually going to let me take it apart so I can learn the ins and outs of the engine. It should be rebuilt and ready to rumble by the meet on the 22nd.

 

so howd it go? showin up to the meet this saturday right? mines running!

 

I should be there but i dunno if it's going to be in my 7.(How bout you lemme roll with you if my cars not done) While its out he's going to do something to my throttle body also. I am also going to get a new clutch and flywheel, and I am going to be removing all of the emissions. He is definitely going to trick it out. Hopefully I'll be pushing around 200+ to the wheels. N/A power!!! We'll see.

 

200hp, without port work? i doubt it..

:AA:
