Will this work? Sensors, tranny, etc..
I found a guy who loves to do mods. He said if I get the motor, he'll do the work free; simply spread the word about him. Is it going to cost a lot in conversions? I need to do something. I threw a rod racing at 120.  I miss my car reaallll bad. If this won't work, does anybody know where to find a cheap motor or rebuild kit? Thanks, peace out |

Why are you relying on mommy and daddy's money? If you were to spend your own money you would take better care of the motor in the first place rather than racing around town blowing up your motor. The motor isn't a performance motor.. I owned a 7th gen gts and it was a blast to drive. Well the first couple of weeks. After that its just plain jane boring. You want fun day in and day out get a 3sgte under the hood. And use your own money. You'd appreciate it more.

Finally convinced her to let me get a job; they closed after 3 paychecks. So, I have no money, no job, and now no ride to get to a job if one of the freaking 100 places I put in an application at ever calls. And dad told me if I kept good grades and stayed outta trouble, he'd get me a car. I had a $2000 budget for my 3.7 gpa. So I don't exactly feel spoiled or anything here... But yea, I was dumb for racing it. |

Why are you wanting to spend all of your parent's money on beefing up THEIR car that you broke by racing? C. In case you haven't heard, we're in the middle of a recession. There are few places that are hiring. Keep looking and once you find a job, save up your own money if you want to turbo it. D. $2000 for a 3.7? you're so lucky. /rant -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
