you wanna talk about excuses. ive never seen someone with more excuses than you. every time weve ever raced youve had an excuse. now you have a big turbo and your still slow. fix your car, wait you cant chris and iggi arent there to do it for you. its better to have 4 good pistons than fucked up rotors. youve had your car for how long and it been broke for how long? fix it. no matter what you put on a blown motor its still blown. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif
What excuses? The slipping clutch that I fixed? How about the exhaust leak that I pulled the engine to fix? Are those excuse? The only excuse I SHOULD use is that I'm too lazy to work on my car when I have the time. As I recall, I have done almost ALL the work except for the welding(Chris does the honors on that) and the brake balancer(Since Igy didn't want me to **** that up). I put my own intercooler in. I did my fuel system without anyone's help. I pulled my turbo's off and installed the turbo kit without help....I just needed some welding done and asked for advice in the process of doing it all.
Didn't know the engine was blown until about a month ago. EVEN IGY SAID IT WASN'T BLOWN UNTIL WE PULLED THE TURBO'S OFF AND I SHOWED HIM THE PROOF. So if a rotary expert tell you that your engine isn't blow, shouldn't I believe him? It was a split decision since Chris said it's probably only barely blown, unlike Bret's where you could tell without a reasonable doubt that it was blown.
For the past year, my car has been down a total of 2 times. Once to pull the engine. That was 2 days. The other time was the single turbo install. That was 4 days. "youve had your car for how long and it been broke for how long?"...How is a week out of the whole year bad?
My engine would have gotten done except for the X-Mas holiday putting a dent in my wallet. Plus I have to save money for the auto salon. Then I'm going to the auto salon for the first two weeks of January. Still need to port the endplates and then the engine will be going together and in the car. Exhaust ports are done. That's where my engine stands right now.
...and What have Igy and Chris done to my car? Chris welded my front pipe and my manifold/wastegate flange...oh wait, he welded my radiator mounting holes and also cut my greddy elbow...I completely forgot about that. And Igy? Igy did my brake balancer. Igy showed me the OS Giken clutch adjustment. He also showed me how to rebuild my first turbo. Is that what you can IGY AND CHRIS WORKING ON MY CAR? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...riiiiggggghhhhhhttttttt. If that's the case then 1bad180sx and I do the same thing...we ask for assistance.
