attempted to drive it from a house behind bdubs to my appt in ashby.. got about half way up the hill on port rep. and it totally let go.. so its at the exxon station, gotta get it towed up the road to my appt.. anyone got a rope and a truck.... i guess ill just have it towed tonight or something haha
it was pretty cool though when it let go.. blew about a 6 inch hole in the side of the block. the whole damn rod fell out hahaha

well it was already blown.. just not blown that bad.. thought it could make the 1 mile drive but i guess not.. the KA motor was being trashed anways

digi speedometer is cool.. but whats even cooler is the heads up mph display on the windshield.. like the c5 corvettes.. and it works.. which is rare

Eh, it'll still run on 3 cylinders, fill that bad boy up with oil and drive it 1/2 mile 8) .
- BLAIR - 05-02-2005
there is about a 6 inch hole in the side of the block.. the car has no power to move itself.. plus the rod flew out and knocked all the belts off.. it was awesome.. and loud
- BLINGMW - 05-02-2005
WOW!
hock: Did it just have no oil pressure or what? I had the HUD too, which was cool (when it was dark and you could actually read it), and digital gauges are cool too at first until you realize that it takes much longer to read them than analog, they're slower to react, and actually they're a horrible idea. :lol:you know what's worse? Cars with a digital tach! UGH! :|
looks good though, I assume you picked it up for cheap?
- BLAIR - 05-02-2005
the car already had a blown motor.. dont 100 percent know what was wrong with it.. never looked into it at all.. didnt care too.
the HUD actually was very readable in the middle of the day when i was driving it.. i was impressed
paid a grand for the car.. more than i wanted to spend but the car condition made it worth it. looked at a few for 400-700 bucks with blown motors but they were POS's. rather pay alittle more for nice condition and only 104k miles so everything else is that much less worn out. not i dont have to worry about finding nicer interior or painting it or anything like that so its overall worth alittle more to me
