Heres the jist of it..
I let someone borrow the car a while back..
They blew the motor really badly. So I had the head shaved .010 and some other head work done, did a whole new gasket set, felpro studs and bolts and did a cometic headgasket. The car ran fine for a while, but all of a sudden it started getting a loud noise from the engine.. I lead myself to believe that the bearings and lower end of the car went out. Because I didnt do anything to the bottom end while the car was down. After spending alot of time and ALOT more money on the car( last year I put 3-4K into replacement parts) I really wasnt intrested in rebuilding it again. So I took off everything that I could.. Wheels, SAFCii, guages, and alot of other easy access performance parts.. I tried selling the rest of the stuff on here, but no-one seemed intrested.
I found someone who needed a parts car and sold it to him for a F*CKING STEAL!!!
He got: the car, full leather interior, KYB suspension, engine, turbo, 3" exhaust with a Greddy can and all that for 500 bucks.
BUT!!! the worst part about this.... wait for it.... the cometic headgasket failed. Thats all that was wrong with it.I probably could have just bought a new head and gasket set did an oil change and it would have probably been cool.
He took what he wanted of the rest of the car and scrapped the shell.
Sucks to be me LOL
