there's a TII not far from me that's got a brand new rebuilt motor from atkin's that's been ported and 3MM seal's put in.. it's goin for about 2.5K, the only catch is the motor isnt even bolted in the car, so if i bought it i'd have to install and reassemble everything.. was wonderin how hard that would be and if it'd be worth the trouble, or if i should just keep my 42MPG https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png
|
buy it, and i'll buy the motor off ya.
|
i'd have to sell my current car, so i'd have to keep the motor so i'd have somethin to drive https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png if you want i can get you in touch with him, maybe he'll sell the motor seperate, he was talkin about sellin the shell so maybe..

If you need wheels, then keep your current car (assuming it's running). Buying a car with the motor not in the car is called a "project".

i know that, i was just considering it because i miss havein a rotary and the feeling of boost and this would be the best of both worlds. my current one runs fine but i only have front brakes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png i have no problem installing a motor and am sure i could get it done semi quick, i was just wondering how much trouble other people have had with it |

assuming you get all the peices its prolly about a 12hour job. you wont get all the parts though, or some will be broken, so its gonna take longer and exceed your budget, and then the crappy motor will be bad out of the box..... |

well its a brand new rebuild, so if it was bad it should be covered under some kind of warrenty by the shop shouldnt it? it looks like this guy was just about to put the motor in and then just kinda lost intrest, so im pretty sure it has everything.. only thing about the car that is a downer is he primered it |

hook me up man
|
yea you should get that car, IF HE LIKED YOUR MR2 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif
|
he liked it, but he's turning to the dark side and looking for an integra
|
A G DAMN INTEGRA WTF IS WRONG W/ HIM!!!!????????
|
no clue, i'd take an MR2 with a bigger motor getting 40+ MPG any day over an integra.. if he lived closer i'd slap some sense into him
|
but AN INTEGRA. a fwd, why god why are morons ruling this world, i would kill for a mr2, but im keeping my FC, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png , and no anyone with common sence would take a mr2 over a tegra
|
also, if the engien didnt work out of the box, or didnt have all the parts, what are you gonna use for a daily while you fix it/wait for the parts?
|
well i've got an old 1966 ford pickup i can use, or i can snag my moms car for a while, but it aint happenin now, im just gonna turbo this motor, i think i could probably almost hang with a TII as it is
|
well its not like you cant try to find a FC from here, you know how to get to it, c if anyone will want your MR duece

I'm not one to pull the rug out from under someone, but if you don't think you can close the deal, then sure, I wouldn't mind having his info. |
i know i cant, i dont have the cash and i cant sell my car without a garunte that i'd get it, so that means no TII for me, pm on the way.
