Yeah, I intend on doing my own research as well incase they try to low ball me. With the swap MID-progress I can't really afford to throw another 3-5k at a new car. I really don't want/can't afford a payment, and I'm not selling the supra for nothing.
I'm going to be experiencing some "pain and...
Well at this point, the supra is probably a lot less replacable so I'm happy about that, just curious to see how the insurance company takes things. Talked to the guys agent today and seemed very cooperative/on my side so I think I might get a decent settlement out of it..
Yeah, I did the entire deal over the phone. They have a VERY high standard of business. One of the calls got dropped and they apologized, and said that they never hang up on customers. (Just getting the confirmation number)
It's also nice that I call them and some one answers compared to...
Yeah, that's another great thing about this, the Tranny that came with the paperweight seems to be in fantastic condition I'm hoping between the two "complete" motors I'll have I should be good to go on the swap.
So, I was driving friends home after a night hanging out in the city park. Just relaxing, we where actually discussing what villan will be next in the Dark Knight Saga.
Going southbound, in the Left hand lane, doing the speed limit (40). When I see a guy make a quick lane change into the...
Out of curiosity did you order over the phone with them, or on the site? I talked to the guy from Osaka about the whole ordeal and he said that we can pretty much promise that it's in mint condition..and the fact that he asked me if I wanted Front or Rear sump..made me feel good. It's nice to...
I'm not shipping this motor back to them, nor am I letting them keep the money. It's from Gotjdm.com, and it's Wells Fargo's problem now.
Odered a new one moments ago from Osaka, hopefully a lot better, and this one is actually Rear sump.
So I previous ordered a 1JZ-GTE from Gotjdm.com (MEGA FAIL)
Paid for a complete engine (With uncut wiring harness) Here's what I got.
Just two quick examples... No Ecu, MAP sensor, Alternator Bracket is Broken, Throttle Body = split in 2.. On top of that it's not even supposed to be...
When we where draining the fluid it seemed full on oil, hell the spark plugs where covered in it (Hence the last pic) It was definitely BHG that caused the initial damage though. It wasn't really leaking oil to begin with either.... Just a bunch of catostrophic events at once.
But first, lets take a time to pull out the old 7MGE and be amazed by just how badly I fucked this thing up. :evil2:
More to come soon as the damn parts come in..
Word, I'll look at everything tomorrow when I really get into, but BHG is the first thing I think any supra owner assumes. I didn't have time or really the effort to even want to tare it apart tonight. Thanks all.
Well about one mile from my exit the car over heated on me and stalled.
Coolant sprayed all over the driver side of the engine bay. Smoking like a fiend.
All hope lost, call the tow truck, confident that it's BHG. (Damn you 7m)
So my question is, looking at the rebuild for her what all...
