So I'm on the way to the next county to pay a speeding ticket i got last month. I'm on 1-75 cruisin about 80 when all of sudden...CLUNK CLACK CLACK CLUNK CLUNK..horrid noises from beneath the hood. No smoke..No overheating...Just violent noise and vibration. Long story short..I get up there pay the ticket and get my car towed back to the house.. Sounds like I've thrown a rod on the 7A-FE. Here's my dilemma...I was researching an engine swap for maybe..in a year when i had the funds..but now here i sit with a ****ed up engine. Financially..I could take out a loan for the swap...or pay some body to rebuild the motor. But why rebuild an engine that's fairly weak in the first place? Especially since it's got a fair amount of miles on it. I'm all for the swap..Just gotta convince the parents..But I'm 19,payed for the car and in my name..So I could really give a fluck what they think. Anyways just wanted you're alls input on the matter. And if this isn't enough I have a paper on Medieval Sexuality due tommorow if anybody has any thought on that.
Time for some sticky green medicine...What a day what a day. |

Yea mine's a 5spd. I'm going to get the alltrac clip. Gonna need shift cables and motor mounts from a GT correct? What about using the GT transmission and drive axles? I was thinking about going to a junkyard and finding that since it'd be alot easier than ordering more tranmission stuff considering I'm already ordering a clip. As far as how I drive...I don't rev it above 5 grand and usually shift around 4. Plenty of oil..I actually had a gallon in my car that I'd just bought to change it...so go figure.
I don't think the previous two ladies regularly changed their oil..so down the road...boom boom click clack. I'm anxious to get started on this. I dont feel like paying anyone to do it either.. My neighbor has a lift and tools..everything..I just gotta convince my dad to let me use the garage. If not..I'ma find some place to do it. I don't trust mechanics...And I don't work weekends so it may take some time but I'm driving my first car. 1990 BMW 325i on chrome wheels..Git 'R Done. |
