gay...i seriously just rebuilt the engine like....27k miles ago....wtf......is there anyway to be able to race the holy shit out of my car without constantly pouring a bujesus load of cash into the friggin thing?
Since he's stumped, can I thread jack for a quick moment. Recently my car doesn't drive like an AT should. When I floor it, the transmission doesn't down shift. The RPMs never go past 3k and the car slowly gains speed.
huh...ok..lemme ask this then...very minor body damage, like the rear fender is pushed in a lil bit...thats all...so, with that bit of ody damage and the engine doing the effed up crap its doing...how much could i get for my car if i sold it right now?? it is an 89 turbo t top, roof doesnt leak or anything, nice super mega clean grey interior....cd player...polk speakers....yeah..any idea how much? cuz this crap is just too much trouble....
Ok....lemme ask this...given the state my engine is in, is it to drive normally approx 60 miles a day? cuz i gots ta get to work yo...
Supras are worth very little with rod knock...
And you rebuilt the engine?? I thought you just bought the car like less than two weeks ago??

i didnt do it, the guy who sold it to me offered to do it cuz he needed something to do at work. he worked at a shop.....yeah...this is pretty gay.....how do i fix rod knock? is it very expensive? and can i stil drive the car as long as i dont race it? or will it cause more damage to the engine?
Well, if you continue to drive it, it will get worse quickly...
And may cause more damage, leading to a more expensive repair bill...like you may have to get a new crankshaft as opposed to using your original one, if you drive the car with the knock.

sigh.....why do i have such TERRIBLE luck with cars..my very first car i owned was a 98 ford escort zx2 lol...i wrecked it literally the day after i bought it, doing 70 mph in a turn in a neighborhood....hit a tree, landed in some joe's yard....so, i go buy an even faster car.....and when i buy it, its great! then it takes a shit on me....but hey...at least i havent hit a tree....yet...

Keep making similar choices and youll continue to get the opportunity to learn the same lesson.
Sounds like rod knock. Also sounds like the "mechanic" who owned you car either half-assed the rebuild, doesn't know shit when rebuilding, or was lying to your ass....
eh, i dont think it matters to me anymore...im gunna sell this car for like...1500 bucks...then get a 5spd....i hate auto's anyway....
Please don't buy another Supra... or if you do, get a MKIV, so you can go bother those guys.
BTW good luck selling the car for 1500 with a damaged chassis and rod knock.

You do not need a supra. Buy an accord or a camry, so it won't break down, and when you wreck it the damage to society will be minimal. seriously dude, you've got a long way to go before you should own a high maintanence sports car.
