My car is finally on its last leg.
Well, my motor has almost 140k miles on it and I think its about to go. I guess its gonna be time for me to do a rebuild and I dont know how much longer its gonna last, but Im gonna drive it till it cant go no more.
Ive been getting alot of blow by, and Im gonna do a compression check some time this week. Its been fun, but its about to get even more fun.
I did think about putting back to stock and getting me a new car, but I cant get rid of my car.

Re: My car is finally on its last leg. (Arturbo)
ur motor is gonna go because u dont have an equal length manifold on it. 
ur keeping ur car. I have pretty much determined that I will not be able to move on to another car until my integra is soo fast its scary to drive.

Hmmm...my motor has 97k on it. Makes me want to build the bottom end before I even bother putting the turbo on.

Bah...if compression and leakdown is good then go ahead and boost it for a while. Just have a spare vehicle or alternative mode of transportation.
