btw, sorry for the typo in the tittle

So as most of you know my engine has bad OCR's and due to some unforseen circumstaces which caused a lack of fund, I'm gonna have to park her indefinitely. Kinda pisses me off cuz I wanted her at least 50% done by SSXII

 

the first gen? im sorry to hear about it..

:AA:

 

yup, it sucks major monkey *****. . .

 

so what's the plan now? rebuild?

:AA:

 

well i foudn a freshly rebuilt 13b long block with wiring harness and ecu for $600 all i needed was an oil pan and front engine support for a total of $864.09 which is a hell of a lot cheaper to do that. But even if I wanted to do the rebuild I don't have the 3g's it would cost me to get it done, nor do I have the tools to do it myself. so as for right now, she's just gonna sit untill cash starts flowing again, which probably won't happen till late this year or early 2010

 

gheez.

:AA:

 

Take it to sevenstock anyway. probably half the people there last had dying motors or at least smoking.

 

mine smokes pretty bad, I have to keep in under 3k unless its in 5th gear, then I can go to 4k with out smoking. . .well that's only if I don't keep it steady at a certain rpm for an extended period of time and even then, if I take off "too hard" and by too hard not really hard at all it smokes too. . .pretty much she's like a pot head, she smokes when she feels like it and sometimes she doesn't smoke at all, but that isn't too often lol.

 

p.s. I'll take her if the wife can tolerate the fumes

 

damn bro this sucks.... not sure if ill have my vert the way i want it by ssXII either

 

like 20 cars that went to sevenstock never left the parking lot and are still there to this day.

 

 

Sad to hear this... I ended up not going last year for similar reasons - - couldn't get the exhaust parts I needed in time. Not a money problem as much as a "can't get one anywhere" problem. Finished up some weeks late.

 

Half the people there last time had no exhaust on.

 

I'm part of the other half... :P

 

lol the half thatll get there and never leave?? lol

 

They usually have a row of like 20 tow trucks in the back of the parking lot for people who can't get home.

 

lol i got AAA... but my car should be running??? just dont know if ill have it looking the way i want

 

Unless Irvine is downhill all the way for you, yeah, that helps...

 

I think mines would make it, im just nervous I'll get pulled over for all the smoke and loud exhaust

 

Damn Nil...that suckkkkss! i know exactly how you feel. Smokey motors are no fun. Well...hopefully this work out

 

dump some STP engine treatment in it and some 20W50, i bet most of your smoking problem goes away.

 

Just roll in a pack and stay in the middle. make sure the guy behind you doesn't give any room for a cop to pull behind you and flash. hahaha

 

I already run 20w50. also do ya guys recommend to use a carb cleanner, I removed my air filter and looked down my carb and it lookinda gummy, to the point I would like to have it rebuilt.

 

if your getting your motor rebuilt fudge it get the carb rebuilt too..or go with another aftermarket carb..like the sterling..
