heh. i'm hoping so. i go to work on it a bit more this weekend, putting a grounding kit in, taking out cruise control, fixing things here and there..you know. then i await more money to come my way so i can get Kooldino down to my place to get it running.DiscreetSpeed said:i must say man i feel the same way with my car....if anybody knows some what how you feel i would be one of them....cause my car has been to hell and back more than once. She was down for quite sometime a couple times but i can assure you in the end the s**** all worth it.
way to hang in there. (first)
i dunno if they are or not. but it jumped timing b/c of the cam gear bolt being loose.Alejo_NIN said:you must be about the most unlucky guy i know
bending the valves because of a sproket bolt?
damn....first time i've ever heard that
aren't our engines non interference?
well.. took it to the machine shop and they re-worked itAlejo_NIN said:easy way to find out if you had bent the valve would had been trying again!!
i dunno how many times ive done a bad timing in the MSP...but i never hit a valve
with stock pistons and all
dunno what it is. yes, it's part stubbornnes. and patience. and yes, brand new i didvindication said:yes our motors are non interference.
damn that is a lot of work. I would say you have a lot of patience but it looks more like stubborness. hope you getted all sorted out. Ohh, you paid 21k for the LX??? WTF?
bwahahaha so do i. but it dwindles away very quickly.MSpeed2397 said:I wish I had money like that...damn
vindication said:yes our motors are non interference.
that's just what i thought.Coolhand said:Not calling you out, but this is incorrect... The FS-DE is an INTERFERENCE Engine. Timing belt slips or breaks, and it's bye-bye pistons and valves, if not the whole motor. That's why I've been keeping my fingers crossed with mine, cuz' I'm 30k miles over the recommended timing belt life. Do a search and you can verify that our engines are indeed interfernece engines.
i know it's terrible. but what can you do at 18, with no help from parents and an APR of 15.5%? yea....no credit sucked..now it's gotten me far.Jeph said:21k for a LX is terrible. I paid 14k out the door for my ES
yeah. that's what i said. glad i paid it off...anyways. now i'm getting into serious work on the car, and i'm quite excited...it'll be great. can't wait to post more pictures.ChopstickHero said:15.5% APR? holy crap... .lol
