Ok, so, i was drivin my teg the other day and all of a sudden it just stops working. blah this, blah that, well, its like 700 in repairs. its a 90 gs and im wonderin, do i go through with the repairs? or take it back, part out what i can, then donate the rest, and finally get a new teg? i dont know. im in a tough spot. thanks guys.

 

ITS TIME FOR A NEW GSR OR ITR CHEERS

 

thanks for that one... But anyway, i have decided to junk it and part it out. I will post pics and jazz later. So yea, time for a new GSR...

 

Body wise, car is in great condition. just as of now, motor doesnt work.

 

You could sell it for parts. Or as a shell, maybe a rolling chassis? Its not "worthless".

 

oh no, i am parting it out. planning on getting a gsr. btw, anyone selling a gsr in utah?

 

keep it and just save up for a new motor.

 

got luck on the GiZZer, but i'd get an ITR. oh wait, I am getting one.

 

Edit: Opps, didn't mean to post here. Sorry.

To keep it on topic, i say you keep this car and also pick up another car. This car can be used as an Auto-x/road race ONLY car, while the newer car can be used as the daily driver.

 

yeah, I bet ITR's are floating around all over the place in Utah.

You've got a clean car. Keep it and drop in a swap.

 

yea, but guys, im a poor college student.... im also thinking about long term here.

 

condom?...huh...what... Yeah i would just part the sucker out

 

yes, condom, i broke one while sticking it up the tail pipe....

 

whats wrong with it that its costing $700 in repairs?

 

because im thinking long term, and for a college student who still has a bit of school left, its not quite feasable.

 

that doesnt answer my question. I Asked whats wrogn with it, totaling up that amount of repairs.

 

oh, oh, well, lots of engine ****. part of it is also an excuse by me to get a newer teg. but, yea, i have some bent valves, timing belt, water pump. bunch of other ****.

 

Oh yea, So yes, i am parting it out, if there is any requests, please e-mail me at veggiemaster@hotmail.com with what you need and how much you are willing to spend.

 

you know, Instead of parting it out you should look at two things:

-timing belt
-distributer shaft

When cars get higher mileage, the timing belts don't break but slip teeth.
the garage you went to will tell you $700 for a job that takes a novice mechanic about two hours with the right tools, unless you dropped your valves, then it will be alot to fix and the motor will probably never run right unless it is done professionally.

Or it could also be your distributer assembly. I was out in my integra one night and me and my girlfriend pulled up and sat there for a minute and let it idle and it stalled. I tryed to start it but, nothing. Me and my dad later figure out it was a sensor on the distributor shaft and you had to replace the whole shaft assembly. The same problem also occurred on my sisters boyfriends 91' accord and it was indeed the distributer assembly.

just try them two things and maybe you'll find out you don't need to part your
integra

 

you can get a replacement motor for that car for about $400 if not cheaper thats why i asked. if your truly low on cash getting a newer teg , let alone a GSR will be much more thna fixing your car now.

 

yea, i went through all of this, but if i choose to fix this, i pay, and i dont get to buy my books for this semester, if i junk it, my parents are going to loan me the money until i get it paid off. i know, its a retarded situation. me.

Exactly that is the beauty of the Ls, it's cheap as hell. When **** breaks it usually cost more to fix it than to replace it with another healthy engine Itr206 is right, If your in College the last thing you need is a big car payment to stress you out.
Look around and find yourself another cheap Ls longblock, It will be a better decision in the long run.

Theres your answer, Fix it yourself with your $ ,and ask your parents to loan you $ for books. That way your car is running again, and youll only owe your parents $300-500 instead of a car. Lending you $ for books is a better investment than a car, I garuntee you they won't disagree.

 

hah, yea, youd think. but for some reason, me paying them back for a car for 3 years is better than me paying them for books for 3 months... Yea, i know, retarded logic.

 

i got my b18a long block for $200
if really wont cost much to get another ls motor that are dirt cheep
