In your case, thats why you have insurance. All that will get paid for, replaced, and repaired. I had my DD broken into last week, along with the rest of the f'n neighborhood apparently. Tore up my interior but really only stole cash.
Good luck to both of y'all!

Back to YOU, I feel your pain man, Im at a point where I dont give a $hit anymore, and I think that says something in itself. If somebody else fawks your wife or girl and you dont give a $Hit do you really love her? Everytime something bad hapens you become more numb to it, eventually reaching the love/hate relationship I experience. |
Pulled the pan today and my worst fears are confirmed. The pan is full of bearing material :icon27:. I can't say I'm surprised. Decided to stop for the day since the car is going nowhere in the near future, most likely done for the year.
I need to take some time now and give some real thought to how much money spent on a project is too much. Even if I can fix the car again, could I ever truly enjoy or trust it? I will have pics eventually. |
Chris so sorry to hear this.
|
it sucks to say but hte easiest thing is just order another long block and swap them. if you do the labor yourself you're out what, 5 g's for a long block?
|
Man this sucks. I know you spent a lot of money but I hope you stick with it.
|
Chris....don't be a hero.....listen to that little voice inside your head telling you to drink........
Sucks man. |
Man this is what 3 or 4 engines now? I would probably give up and If I didnt someone else would be building my engine. It would have probably been cheaper for you to take a damn machinist course at a college or something. This is crazyness.

Chris lets take our cars into fields and blow em up.
Good for nothing VQ's man. Before my break in, my car started blowing coolant into the overflow something fierce again...AT IDLE. Great sign of whats to come, I dont look forward to fixing it. |

Wow, sorry to read about this - dam, this has got to be a record run of bad luck and definitely not deserving of such a nice person as Chris.

Part out what you can which should be alot long block aside and RB\LS1\2JZ this mofo. Your turbo kit alone would cover a motor and tranny. Might even cover a swap kit all together for the above mentioned.

I pm'ed you before reading this....don't worry to respond :icon27: I will not comment on this ..... Because if I do ....it will just start sh!t you don't need right now:mad:

You're F'n kidding me.

Sorry to hear Chris. 1, 2 times ( maybe ) is the max! I would ever deal with. This is your 5th time.. It clearly shows that its time to move on from the VQ. You should do what "snyper" did and call it a day. Leave the VQ and go for an LS swap. Thats what he did and now hes got a 88mm turbo in there too... probably the sickest setup on the forum. He beats on it everyday..
