First off.....Whats up....Second off.....Whats up!
Thought i should add some backround to this post. I bought the car from a "nice guy" who just wanted to make space in his driveway. $3000cdn for a car that he said and what the work reciepts said was in good "running order" Paint and body were in good shape. Engine started up fine (it had been sitting for 7 months....first clue) and seem all was well..... That night while taking some friends for a drive im supra the first problem hit. The alternator gave out and stranded me quite a ways from home. so a new alternator went on the next morning. While it was at the shop.....I sign poped up that i should have noticed right away but deciced to agnore.....I had a very rough idle and it sound like it might be running on 5 cyclinders. Again my childish mind thought nothing of it even though there was little voices in the back of my head. 2 days later..........BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM OMFG HUGE BHG. We are talk antifreeze, water and oil EVERYWHERE. Engine wouldnt even turn over. Block was cracked and head gasket was just totally destoryed. My machanic said he smelt something fishy......He personally inspected that car before i bought it and he said it seemed alright. The pervious owner had cleaned cleaned up the block and did some kind of temporay fix then parked the car. Basicly i bought $3000 worth of BHG haha. Anywho i reached into the bank of brenden and pulled out $1400 for a motor for a company called http://www.tigerjapanese.com/ and it was well....A FANTASITC engine. Looked to have been freshly rebuilt and it runs like a top. I had the headgasket replaced on it just to be on the safe side. And its been in there for 3 Months now and she is still running strong! See below for specs and goals. Sorry for writing a novel hahaha
