The previous owner didn't take care of my car at all... I bought it with no airbags, broken 98 front conversion, and I have to manually hook up the fan every time I drive it. But... I planned to fix all that until I got laid off..

Not even a week after I got laid off, I was doing maybe 20mph and two motor mounts snapped (top one by the valve cover and lower on drivers side). The bolt from the upper mount broke off and, from what the mechanic that looked at it told me, it fell into the timing belt causing the engine to jump timing.

I maybe got 1200 miles out of my car before that s*** happened.

The place I brought it quoted me around 1500 to install another engine, problem is I have to bring one for them.... One of the techs where I work drives a turbo EK, so I'm gonna see if he knows anyone that can do it for cheaper when I get some money.

How it sits now:

^ Anything like that would be special order. Auto parts stores mostly carry common items.

Common items include, but are not limited to: hood scoops, fender accents, spinner hub caps, aluminum spoilers, and neon lights.

:lol:

Its terrible how much profit they're making off all that garbage. Their sponsor car is a white 350z with roof molding sideskirts too.

yeah it takes a few hours to swap, but building it takes time. i planned on doing a total rebuild, but it would take too long. Ill be happy with a stock b20 for now. i just want to drive my car.

Well... Motor and broken axles. But that's exactly what I mean, I could probably get the guy I work with to do it over the weekend for a few hundred.

Didn't exactly want to. But i took the a/c out my car. there's a a/c line that goes in front of radiator beside the fan. There was no way to move that a/c line behind the fan etc anything like that. Turbo literally goes from block all the way to radiator no room for a hose. Also downpipe wasn't going to fit like it was suppose to. So I say screw it and yanked the a/c out. It didn't work anyways.
