New Short Block

[Kracka]

I still think throwing in a 4b11 out of something else would be dirt and they you put a bow on it and tell mitsu to suck it.
So you want him to break his lease and attempt to defraud Mitsubishi? Damaged credit and a bill for a longblock + labor at retail...sounds smart.

Sounds cheap to me.
I didn't see where he mentioned he can't do that, but ok.

Oh my bad, turns out I should know every detail of the lease before I make suggestions.

Being serious, i just think that would be funny and the cheapest way.

[Kracka]

Cheapest way to do what, exactly?

[turbotalon1g]

Put a motor in the car that works.

Yes, finding a junkyard 4B11T from a 2008-2013 Evo X would probably be his cheapest alternative, but he has expressed no interest in replacing his blown up engine with another stock one.

Apart from you, they do seem to blow-up pretty easily.

Not really, but Minnesota does seem to have more than the rest. I'm at 49k miles already, and I have a friend at 55k miles making power in the high-400's with the stock block. From my personal experience, I've driven my X more miles than I drove my IX, and have done less maintenance and repairs on it.

X's blowing up happen a lot less now a days. I think people have learned their lesson and enough info is now out there on what not to do.

I agree, besides self inflicted injuries my car hasn't had any like problems that would happen to a stock car, like suspension issues or any of that crap.

well i'm only really subjected to them on style.
But apart from this random that troggy has experienced sounds like they are pretty good.

high 400s is damn good too.
