Well what a way to start off 2007

SlowWhite · 01-03-2007

So since I've already typed this one and the computer froze. I'm just going to keep it short and the sarcastic commentary out. Cause I'm just to tired.

Motor in the eclipse crankwalked today along with i'm sure a spun bearing, and who knows what else. (probably happened yesterday when andy, and I went to Applebees last night) but what ever. Concordes dead and now the eclipse is toast after 3000 miles. It was probably a detonation thing due to my head problems (ie: oil and coolant issues, sputtering)

Come on... You can't be serious.

**Kracka** · 01-03-2007

Get out of DSM's, seriously. You have had worse luck than anyone I've known. Sorry to hear about this though

He's joking, He wasn't at applebees.

j/k. That really does suck. But There are plenty of cars out there that don't crankwalk. My economics teacher would say, "time to cut your sunk costs and move on."

That's no fucking good man..... Lemme know if you need a hand w/ anything. Why does everything always seem to fuck itself in the ass at one time??? What happened to the concord?

SlowWhite · 01-04-2007

I was at applebees the one in rosemount, Kyle, andy and i were at my house playing games. (cod, and Halo)

I'm pretty sure Its time to move on the shells ugly needs paint, the motors shot, the onlything holding me from moving to a different set up besides money is the fact that I have so much into it if I start over I'll have to everything all over again. But a Vette or Supra would be my next car if I switched.

Just switch platforms, you will be happier. I know I am.

Yup, me too. Once you leave DSM's you realize they are just a stepping-stone to owning a real sports car.

MustGoFaster · 01-04-2007

I think you need a

But really there are other cars out there that can be just as fast and look just as good. Get an LSX american car and put your 67 on it. Make mad powah and, well I was going to say grow a mullet but I don't think that would work for you. Part it out.

AJ · 01-04-2007

Damn Brian! Sorry to hear!

**scheides** · 01-04-2007

OMGWTF! That sucks! How many miles were on it? That sucks some serious ass.

If you go shopping for newer stuff, you have to promise me you will at least drive an Evo!

Jana · 01-04-2007

Wow, that really sucks Brian!

I'd also say it's time to cut your loss and move on to something that's not going to cause so much pain.

niterydr · 01-04-2007

Man that sucks. I wonder if it was more oil contamination/metal to metal contact, due to the fact that your motor really seems to like to puke oil.

SlowWhite · 01-04-2007

Nope its a supra or Vette for me. No evos... I really like the new C6's. But I did find a TTZ06 I like for the same price as the supras I'm looking at.

I thought about the stealth but with the tranny problems I'm seeing with swanny and the other black one I saw at BIR makes me hesitant.

I''m sure the oil that was getting into combustion chamber had something to do with it. It was sputtering like always, i'm thinking it just miss timed during a sputter and might have fired at on an up strock or something, I didn't have the laptop on to see if it was knocking and although it never knocked before I can't say it wasn't. But it is what it is, definetely has major rod knock. Sounds just like my old crankwalked 7bolt, kyle agreed with me.

niterydr · 01-04-2007

I'd say part it out and corvette at this point....

**Kracka** · 01-04-2007

Althought not a huge fan of either, I'd go Supra > 'Vette.

**Goat Blower** · 01-04-2007

Vette. New, fairly reliable and fast stock. Supras and 3S's are the same as DSM's, you need to put money in to make them fun and then they're not reliable anymore. Plus they're old.

A//// Guy · 01-04-2007

Cut your losses and move on, it will only get worse. Im glad I got out of DSMs, they are evil. Sorry to hear about it though... definetly not a good start to the new year.

Vette FTW. DSMs are definitely a stepping stone and its time for you to step on up. My vote goes towards GM V8 LS-Series, they are gods gift to ERF!!!
Whatever you do, good luck and if i can help in anyway i am there.
