Time to follow the trend (Swedishbrick)
Cousing informed me of some poor sap selling a 1991 940 turbo. Ends up 2 hours later and 150 dollars and i drive (slowly) this bitch home : ). Has a dead cylinder (#2), oil leaks all over the place, and some valvetrain noise(not so bad).

someone was lazy and decided to never change #4 cylinder spark plug (different plug)

Re: Time to follow the trend (Swedishbrick)
If i can get this car to run reliably (find why #2 is dead) i plan on keeping it, dumping the current crx and saving up. Either in the end buying a mint *** crx(under 80k) or some new car. Anyone have any tips on getting valves unstuck?
