Most of you know the car I drive.

Well, she lost some oil and the timing belt is f'd, so not only does it not start, even if it did its screwed.

So what's your opinions? Mechanic said he could have my car running by next week for the low low cost of $1200.. screw that. I paid $1400 for the car.

I'd like to do a swap with a manual transmission, if the price is right, and if I'm going to even swap. Anyone have any ideas as to what I should do, and if you're local, got an engine and want to have an HMT swap meet? :P

Well if the timing belt snaped its time to pull the head and replace some valves

Re: Opinions
 

The mechanic that came by just a little bit ago said it should be replaced.. but its not busted or anything. Just jumped.

Re: Opinions
 

I have a D16Z6 head in my garage, missing a few things but the full valvetrain in there, make an offer if you want it ;)

Re: Opinions
 

replace the timing belt, and then find the oil leak, its prolly somehting really dumb like the oil pan gasket or drain... Do the manual swap, im prolly going to be doing one by next spring, and after u swap it, BOOST it! but if the head is bad, do a ZC swap, thatd be nice, speakin of ZC, wheres ZC4ME been? i havent seen that scary mofo around in a minute

i dont understand males under the age of 25 that like fast cars and purchase automatic cars

they eventually understand they fucked up, just like my buddy

Re: Opinions
 

hey, if you are in a certain budget, many an auto is all you can afford or find in your area. we didnt go out lookin and be liek, oh ---- that i need an auto....dude, ---- happens, eat a dick

Re: Opinions
 

what's it missing? i might wanna buy it for my A6 with a bent valve ;)

Re: Opinions
 

awww fatty is in need of a hug :'(

generally manuals are CHEAPER than autos and not finding a manual car is a bit far fetched

and btw i wasnt trying to offend anyone with my previous post, it was just an observation, unlike this one, fatty

Re: Opinions
 

I'll be in touch if I need it ;)

Yeah, the leak's in the oil pan.. but the bottom end is fudged regardless, it was tapping badly before I let her sit.

Car is in real good shape, and it was $1400, and I needed a car. Auto wasn't my first choice, trust me. Almost had a turbo 5 speed subaru instead.

I have a spare A6 head if I either I decide to buy Whitey's or my head is ok ;)

Re: Opinions
 

is your motor interferance?

Re: Opinions
 

Huh?

Re: Opinions
 

yeah it is

Re: Opinions
 

I'd go the distance and just put a whole new motor and 5 speed swap. The 5 speed swap isn't all that much more work if you're already swapping the motor out.

And everybody knows that buying an automatic is better than a 5 speed. Buying a 10 year old car that is generally raped by ricers everywhere, I'll take grandmas old cruiser anyday. The ricers aren't looking to buy it, they haven't been raping it, and that can get you a better car with room to bargain. (because the ricers won't buy them) ;)

most twin cam are interferance moters

Re: Opinions
 

considering certain circumstances and ----, yea, it was like my only option, oh well, not your car, so dont worry about it.

Yo Paul, I'm still hear, just kinda lurking in the shadows >:D I have been trying to keep busy at work and I have been doing a lot of research for the "other car", but thanks for asking, I'm touched, LOL. Seriously though, Sinister, you should get a manny tranny in that biotch, you'll be much happier.

Re: Opinions
 

whoa back from the dead!!!! same as dan, im gonna ahve to do a manual swap here in the winter...it'll be easier now that I have another car as my daily driver, basically how much would it cost to do a swap, about $500? give or take?

Re: Opinions
 

The sky is blue......

We're talking about a d seires here so its only a single

Anyway, Sinister, if you're interested I have a complete B17 swap and a few complete Z6 swaps. Let me know. I'm about 45 min. west of Philadelphia so its a few hrs. away, but still within a good distance to pickup.

Re: Opinions
