mhmm 2 liter evo x block.
that's it for now just waiting on hearing if we can save the block.
What happened to a simple engine replacement? Why would you complicate things with an evo engine?

Nice pile of scrap metal. Pretty big hole in the side of the block and the sludge! I'm guessing at least one clogged oil port, bearing seized and the rest is history.
something like that. P.O. Said it made a loud thunk noise, and died. then he started it again and drove it longer until more clunk clunk, and then she just died. -__- It really pissed me off that after something so harsh stopping, and getting a tow truck was not an option, even to the point where they would stop, and just check if fluids are leaking. Just ultimate neglect. i can't wait to put this car back together, and just enjoy her. she's had a rough P.O. speaking from keeping the car dirty, to obvious neglect, which ended up with a broken " heart".
If there's anyone that can fix her broken heart, I know you can. Thanks for saving her!

I'd like to believe i can. I've been talking with a friend, and we may actually have a raised compression engine coming in soon. so if all goes well that engine will go into Elsa. Would be interesting to have some more compression. Maybe that will set the tone for where to car will go. we shall see. sadly at this point it's a waiting game. I should have new seats coming sometime next week, and little bits and pieces.
