ok, so i bought a 88 n/a it ran without any problems the kid i bought it from was really nice and didnt seem like a dick. however, he screwed me over it went down like this:

my friend has a 96 saturn sl2 with all the little lawnmower powerups on it, but it does have a turbo so he wanted to race we went of course he didnt realize i was outclassing him in the motor deptartment. i left him at the line, but then i noticed somthing; i heard a noise it was kinda like "WHAM WHAM WHAM" hmmm

no wonder when he started the car he had the radio up the lower end knock was drowned out so i stopped and let him pass. he still brags he won but whatever so i lifted the hood did the one over look no obvious problems drove home well halfway there my idiot lite came on. you know the one that says "STOP OR I WILL EXPLODE"

so i pull over at Shell, check my oil cause it came on, as NONE THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL i put 2 in it came up to half running warm so i stoped and drove on by the time i had gotten home, i went through 6 quarts lucky me huh.

yeah, i'm about to edit your post so i can actually read it... one sentence with no punctuation is annoying...

edit: yes, that's much easier to read now.

BlindRonin, in the future, PLEASE use punctuation. many people wouldnt even have TRIED to read that if i left it the way you had it. one gigantic sentence is very, very annoying. i didnt even read it until after i edited it.

thanks shaeff i was confused as hell
lol

 

[Godspeed]

hey i drove like 12 miles with a broken rod in my wifes supra just so i wouldnt have to leave it on the side of the road and suprisingly it made it all the way.

 

[BlindRonin]

Yeah I know my gramar structure sucks. I never really picked up on it, but yes I ran it without checking beacuse I picked it up for $1500, and was going to swap it anyway. I would still have bought it had the kid told me about the knock. The fact was he lied, and I know I should have expected it. I was Just so excited after driving a VW rabbit for so long it was a good deal for what I had.

Lucky for me I have an 87 to swap with. I picked it up with 56k miles on it ,but the trannys burnt out so i will have to pull both engines and do some swapping.

See i can get some gramar right if i try but i have a reading disorder somthing about words, and letters being backwords. Dyslexia or somthing im trying to work trough it right now. Sorry for the hard to read posts.I hope this is a little better but its really frustrating. I went through high school with no problems, but I went to get a job about 2 month ago, and they said I had a problem. Yeah i know im just 19 but go ahead and rip on me. lol

 

[shaeff]

^much better no reason to rip on you at all. (so long as we can read the posts!)

good luck with the swap. i'm sure you'll find supramania a valuable resource.

Ouch $1,500 with a bum motor.We live and we learn. Ive been there and done that.Now i check my oil more than i check my e-mail.Good luck with the swap

So you raced your car before doing a full service?

Ya? Why would he service it THEN race? He'd just have to re-service after silly. Same reason you don't wash your hands after picking your nose; you'll just have to wash them before diner anyways later on geeze!

LOL Eric!

DOH now I know what I've been doing wrong and why I can't get RK or a BHG!

did you check the oil while the car was running? or did you shut it off and check it?

 

[lanky189]

so you bought the car without inspecting it properly...

sounds like your fault, not his.

 

[BlindRonin]

No i didnt service it or check it out first beacuse i had a swap engine waiting. I shut it off before I checked it but it was still warm so oil was still in the top of the engine.
I was just pissed the kid lied, and i am not saying the engine blow wasnt my fault. People just need to be more honest, and stop bullshitting good honest people. Swap went well waiting on pics. That wiring harness is so easy to pull by far the easiest swap I have ever done.

so how is this a kill? :nuts:

so how is this a kill? :nuts:

Killed the motor?

 

[Jspec7m88]

Ouch. $1,500 for an N/A RK motor. Makes me feel like the deal I'm getting(pickin it up in a few days) is REALLY good.

Red 91 Supra Turbo Targa AT w/ Dark Grey interior for $500.

 

[BlindRonin]

yeah killed the motor

 

[Jspec7m88]

Sorry to hear that. Just a small word of advice, anytime you see a Supra parked in front of someones house, be sure to go out of your way and see what's up with the owner and you JUST might find out that he is selling it...
