Why do I have to love my cars?
>>17231393
Seems like a stupid decision to me. It's obvious you were never going to sell it anyway
>>17231393
You're a fucking retard. Chances are you could have bought a whole engine for like 500 dollars.
>>17231393
what car? what was it doing?
>>17231405
Spooder. It had rod knock
>>17231414
You could have bought a new engine, an engine hoist, all the tools you need and you'd still spend way less money.
It sounds like you're incredibly bad with money.

roadster owner here.
You could've gotten a new 2zz and installed it in a weekend and bought all the required tools for it for around 3k.
5k is building 1zz to have 10k redline and 180 horses money.
You may love your car but god damn you should've just said "let me think about it" and gone online
>>17231414
how many miles? how did it run before the incident?
>>17231393
>paying $5200
>engine will never run quite right ever again
Shoulda just gone with >>17231466
>>17231428
2zz or bust
>>17231393
It probably doesn't even need a rebuild. Good for your mechanic for taking another sucker.

You don't love them enough to learn how to wrench on them, which means you don't really love them at all.
You don't love them enough to study every detail in the factory (not aftermarket) service manual and on vehicle-specific forums, which means you don't really love them at all.
Now go take a carpenters hammer and smash your glans at least ten times while yelling "I'm a dumbass!" after each hit.
>>17231414
at least it looks happy
don't know what to say it's quite ugly
Lol been there done that.
Should have got another 5000 shitbox
