Thought he blew his motor in his ss

 

Got the turbo off to found a few nuts loose got a new gasket will be putting everything back today

 

Ic looks good car should be all together tonight or tomorrow morning

 

I just didn't have money to fix it anymore, I just bought a house so that got me pretty broke lol
I just sold it cuz I didn't have any more money and the engine I bought wasn't going to work so I got rid of it

 

Wow dude that sucks... You could have easily gotten a lot more for that thing. Did you actually find out what the issue was? Could have been something as simple as replacing a piston. which would have cost you less than buying an L61. The you could have sold the car working which could be around 8K I would think...

Im still lost as to why the L61 would replace the LSJ though... Did you think it was an LSJ orginally?

 

You sold an LSJ for 3K? Like the whole car? LOL

 

because moron!

 

Suck it

The car was a salvage title. I bought it for 5500 2 years ago.

 

I knew it wasnt an lsj, just thought I could make it work.

 

I did **** up by not parting the mods though, oh well.

 

Wow this became a pissing fest in this thread! My first post in a couple months and it has to be this. I hope everyone is doing well.

 

yeah I was gonna say man you could have made quite a bit just parting it out. even with a salvage title thats pretty damn cheap

what are you getting now?

 

I'm not sure, like I said I just bought a house so gonna just get something to ride for now. I was thinking about gettin a 2.2 cobalt since I have an engine so incase the engine goes out I'll have a replacement, not sure yet though.

 

get a Honda.Cheap to mod and holds value really well.

 

I would, but I've just always hated Hondas...

 

Probably cause everyone rices them out.I love Hondas if done right..I want a hardtop s2k

 

True.. I don't know I think I want something reliable for now and later when Im caught with payments buy a cr to mod. But this time right lol

 

Whatever you do dont make the mistake i did and get the same car twice. Meaning dont buy another cobalt lol

 

This. I would love a big turbo hardtop S2000. Slickest gearbox on the planet and one of the most fun cars to drive IMHO.

 

I def. agree.I had a buddy with one who let me drive his while he was in California.One of the most fun cars i've driven to date.His was the F20 motor,hearing that thing rev to 9,000 was incredible.

 

lol y is that

 

Only he has the right to say that because he went from 2 cobalts to a Corvette Zo6. LOL

 

Must be nice to have money lol
If I didn't buy a house I probably would've bought a brand new Mustang 5.0

 

That's my next car Coyote 5.0 M6 with 3.73's

 

This except I would go with an auto as the M6 is more likely to break. Some of the Auto guys are making 600 whp on the stock trans without many failures but the M6 guys are breaking a lot of transmissions.
