what are you going to do once your engine dies?

get a little shitty pickup unless the supercharged yaris is out in north america by then

>>17045427
Get a used engine and keep on going
Probably 10k

have someone replace it for $1500+

I bought a miata for $100 and the engine blew up after about 2 years, gonna cost around $2k to get a reman put in. Don't think it's worth it, so I'm just gonna scrap it.
So instead I'm thinking about getting a used Ecoboost Mustang with the Ford Performance Package.

>>17045427
Around here engines last longer than the body

I dont drive a modern shitbox loaded with frag warheads all over the place timed by shitty electronics
my engine will live eternal on fury road faggot
(especially since I'll be rebuilding it as soon as I got my other car running)

Rebuild it into or replace it with a crate engine that makes a lot more power.

Pop a new one in. Never done it before but when I'm inevitably in that situation I'll have to learn

>>17045427
I've never owned a car long enough or shitty enough for that to happen.

>>17045971
Depends on the car and the condition of the engine and what tools you have. Could be a 5 hour job, could be a 5 day job.

>Vortec 5.3
>dying

Ya I dont think it will.

My engine has 188k miles on it, but still has good compression and doesn't burn any oil surprisingly so I still have a lot of life left out of it. I'm planning on owning this truck for a lot longer so maybe at 250-300k I'll do a rebuild.

If the engine ever kabooms I'd probably just put in another VG33E instead of the VQ35DE that also was available in my model truck because those seem to have more problems then the VG33E. LS engines apparently can work with Corvette accessory pieces but I don't really care how fast my DD is.

Try to fix it if it's not too expensive

Same thing I did the last time it blew up:
Pull one at a junkyard and drop it in.
Or what I did the time before that: replace/rebuild the top-end.

It only has 170K on it, i think it will be a while before it naturally dies.

When it ever does though, i'll buy an MR2, IS300, or LS400.

>>17045427
by the time the 2.0 skyactiv dies in my miata, I'll find a crashed RX-9 and salvage the dorito from it

>>17046146

>>17046160
the RX9 is going to use the RX8 rotary? my engine is only a year old, I'm looking 10+ years in the future

>>17046208
oh misread the rx-9 for rx8. who knows if its coming out. if it does its probably going to be some bullshit hybrid eco sports sedan.

Such a shit car.
Timing belts every 10k or blown engine.
Less horsepower and torks than my motorcycle.
Cheap rattle plastic everywhere.
Too light for suspension to actually do anything.
Steering wheel tiny.
Seats uncomfortable.
No cargo room.
Incapable of speeds >80mph.

>>17045427
A fucking REMANUFACTURED Audi/Volks 1.8T engine is $4800, so I guess I'll be back to riding the bus. Mine only has 82000 miles on it though so it should be a good long time.

>>17045427
I hope you die

>>17046340
The car was less than $10 new, what did you expect, a fucking Maybach? Of course it's a cheap piece of shit.

that's not a vr6 anon

that's a normal 3 liter V6.

i think you meant to post this, V6 Cayennes were actually VR6 powered.

>>17046026
>>17046408
I think you misunderstood the post, I'd assumed his current engine is the 3.0 v6 and once it dies it's gonna be the vr6

>>17046395
Not to mention it's fucking gook shit

>>17046441
preciseley. cant work with an AVK for shit. vr6 says harder daddy when boosted and so does getrag six speed. bolt up swap!!!

Get a warranty replacement. My car is only 2.5 years old.

It's an S54b16, so a rebuild with improved components is still going to be cheaper than buying a new one.

>>17045427
Maybe pull it out and put a 5.0 V8 in it.

I drive an E46 in the UK where the roads get salted, so the car will rust to bits long before the engine dies. Already had cooling system done so should run for many, many years yet.

>>17047176
the drivetrain might last forever
but the suspension WILL shit itself at one point.

Find a used 1KD-FTV 3.0L and throw it in

Another 65hp and 110nm would be sweet

I don't think it will die , but the turbo probably only has another 50k miles. At which point I'll put on a bigger one and change the headgasket and exhaust.

I'd buy a better car than the econobox I have now because I need a running car
But i'd leave the econobox sitting in the parking lot and fix it on the weekends as a beater/ winter car

My guess with the main bearings in the shape they're in is I've got a couple of years before that happens. The plan is to assemble a new engine to be ready to drop in when the engine I've got in there now finally gives up the ghost. Same block, better parts, better cam and cylinder heads and a shiny new exhaust that I may put on the engine in there now depending how things go.

>>17046395
I didn't buy it, my mom did. Brand-new in '04, she died in 2015. It somehow only had 43k miles on it at that point, had to rebuild the top end of the motor at 58k, and replace it at 75k. 85k miles now, and on engine #2, radiator #3, and timing belt #9.

Fucking Daewoo a shit.

>>17047882

I don't know if I should be glad or sad thay I'm not the only one thinking this.

But maybe, just maybe, my life will be less shitty by then and I'll be in shape to find a new love.
