So, now what?

Less Resident Evil, more REC

Mirrors, wheels, badges, turn signals.

7M-GE + Motorcycle engine in the hatch.

Street (il)legal

Check the relay. A buzzing sound means it's turning on and off very rapidly, when (IIRC) it should just click on when the key is on and off when the key is off.

Most people opt for a JZ series swap. A good portion (if not all) parts need to be fabricated one-off to get it to work.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Get to work Ryan.

I have seen this car. It does exist. Ace said it's pretty quick, so I'd believe him. Also, a rebuilt turbo is a good thing. We'll see.

Hang on, lemme add it up. 1) Original 7M-GE engine (bad rings) 2) Engine installed by sales company (BHG, replaced HG, rod knock) 3) Engine installed by JEMCO (BHG, replaced HG, hole in block) 4) First 1JZ (fired with rod knock) 5) Second 1JZ (melted the pistons) 6) Third 1JZ So...

Home, safe and sound. Other than a distinct lack of excessive boost (pout) she runs great. Thanks again to Driftmotion, I'm back on the road in my own car. Wonderful! I'll try not to blow this one up.

Huzzah! Flying out Wednesday to get my car back. Quick rundown of the problem: Tiny fuel injectors, too much boost over extended period of time, eventual complete failure of engine. Solution: Install another engine, turn down boost, and be happy until I can save enough to raise it properly.

Thank god. Also, Ace, you're an asshole.

Besides that.

It really pisses me off because I told them about it before I signed the damn contract. Fuckers. Expect it Friday, Aaron. Just let me know what it needs. :D

Didn't feel like typing it all out last night. The shipping company FINALLY got around to picking the car up on Monday (ASAP = a week and a half WHAT!?!?), and the driver refused to pick it up due to the large quantities of smoke, which I TOLD THEM about when they took my money. Needless to...

Goddamnstupidshippingcompanybullshitmotherfucker! D:

Oh dear god. WTF happened in here? Yes, the car is on transport to Driftmotion. I got love for Ace, but with parts and labor being being a wash either way, transport to DM being cheaper, and Aaron having overall more knowledge of the 1JZ (no offense, Ace), the car went to Pomona. Either way...

Possibly. Many factors may or may not have contributed to the eventual TEF of the engine, but it is what it is.

Never said I didn't.
