I Am Pissed

i really thought i could bring my car back
i thought it will come back kickin

i jus talkd to the guys at my shop
originally i came there to get prices and plan what i want to get done with my car

to those that dunt know
my car has a bad engine
overrevved it, and threw my rods

now the rebuild plan was going to consist of
pistons
crankshaft
rods
then they told if was gonna race my car again i cant go half assed
so might as well get the heads machine, retorqued, and a new headgasket job
with a MHG
rather than jus getting my car running and then going back to get the rest of the job done

what made this more senseless was when they told me
im not gonna get the horses that i want with my n/a
so there will be no point to doing all this work to an engine
that wont give me the horses that i want

and it got worse when they said all this work that i want was easily going to fly around 5000 dollars , and i will still jus have an N/A car

basically they told me im better off finding a turbo car, then start from there
and get all the work that i want done to the turbo

i got a close friend of mine selling me a supra turbo hardtop 87
for 3000 with 102000 miles
i think its a good deal
im gonna test his car at the races tomorow night

and b4 you say anything
yes i know i know, you were right weezy
so yea, sad day for my car, and for me
already put somewhat a lot of work on it already
that jus makes it worst

Just buy a new turbo engine. It ranges from about 1k-2k for a complete JDM one. Still cheaper than buying another Supra and/or rebuilt motor.

the closest 7mgte engine
from me is about 500 miles away
i have went to at least two dozens shops in the area and other cities
have called at least 60 places

they either their prices are jacked up or the engine is busted , or imcomplete
and i cant have a jdm engine in here i dunt have enuff money
to make it run legally, or get it to pass emissions in here

thats why the whole process is going to fly around 5 grand

if you do get your friends supra what r u gonna do with the one you have now?

parts car?
swap engines?
sell it?

Supra2NR · 08-25-2006, 08:13 AM

keep it, save it for my project
or find sumbody who wants it

if not
im thinking of making it into a straight up show car
then i can use the turbo for racing

It's probably further than 500 miles from you but I know where there is a 7m-gte for $450 but it is missing the turbo, not a big loss there cause aftermarket is better anyway. A friend of mine has it and said it is a strong motor. Its in a wrecked 86.5 which means it has the 6m crank unless whoever owned it put in a newer motor. It's from a wrecking yard and does come with a 30 day guarantee, not much but it's better than nothing. Pm me if interested.
