Soup, /o/.

My only car, one I made every personal sacrifice for, died. A crankshaft pulley bolt fell out, and now the engine is completely destroyed.

I want to feel sad, but I'm so numb to the shock I can't feel anything. It's like being told your dog died, there was a bond there.

How did you guys cope with the death of cars you cared about?

I put a new engine in it. A low mile JDM B6 is under $600 including the transmission.

What car was it?

That does not simply fall out. Whoever did the timing belt last fucked up.

Absolutely no money. My job was delivery. The rape doesn't get more real.

>>14046228
Pic related.

>>14046439
God damn.

>>14046589
Correct. Turns out the bolt wasn't torqued properly.
>>
>>14046798

As you said to >>14046589 thats exactly what it is. I don't have a torque wrench but I took a wrench on the bolt and tighted it as much as I possibly could (I'm a pretty small dude) then took a rubber mallet and got it just a hair further.

I know I might get shit for not doing it properly with a torque wrench but its been nearly a year and I haven't had any problems checked it recently and it wasn't loose.

Went hard till she sold it, saw it a few weeks ago with a mk4 golf gti turbo motor in it.

I don't wanna wait ... for our lives to be over.

At the very least the Z shop I've been working with is willing to buy what's left of it off me for $150-200 to keep it from being scrapped, crushed, or scavenged.

Fair enough to me because the scrap value would've only been ~$340 at best anyway.

>>14047232
is this the place im thinking it is
>>
>>14047245
What place are you thinking it is.
>>
>>14047232
Bro that entire car in parts is worth soooooo much more.
I say hold on to it, find a shitty beater or call upon your family for a hand

>>14047280
They buy all sorts of import stuff, Ive only heard of em having alot of shell cars and such..I dont even have a name
>>
>>14047280
No, Tejas.

>>14047262
Maybe. Maybe.
>>
>>14047401
Bro honestly if you are in texas the rust problem might not even be bad.
Just jack it up and put it in your garage untill you can get parts
>>
>>14047401
Please don't please don't sell that. If you are don't let it be junked. I love Z32 and always have wanted one, but they're impractical for me at this stage of life.

Dont' get rid of it, please don't.
