Black Betty Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wait so kellen broke his car? (sorry i've been off vs for a little bit) The car is worth around 1k now with a 750$ motor its worth 4k.....sounds like a good investement even if you dont keep it. Atleast sell the car needing new tires not a new motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomoose Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 My God, I don't understand your logic at all. Selling your pegs to help you replace your engine isn't good in your mind because your perfos neeed tires?! WHO CARES about some cheap tires and some played out dime a dozen pegs. At least you'll have a running car again, or be closer to it. You can always get the tires LATER, or get some cheap discount tires! And your ABS module is super easy to fix, if you take it out and send it to me, I'll fix it for you for free and send it back same day. I did mine, all by myself, no writeups as a guide or anything more than two years ago and it's been as good as new. It's seriously super easy to remove and install. Sorry, I just hate seeing a really nice S70 go up for sale when it can be fixed. And I also hate guys who don't man up and take charge about situations, on their own, but need advice from their girlfriends about things that are going on in their life. Get it together or GTFO is my senitment right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomoose Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 it's probably more useful to you too since you're starting school in the fall. the fact that you are so tight on funds makes buying a car sound out of your league right now. The cheapest thing to do either way is fix this one, the fact that you think you don't have the funds makes buying a new car with new problems even less smart. This makes sense. This is logical. I vote for keeping what you have, fix it. At least you know it's a great car. At least you know it's relatively easy to fix. And I'm dead serious about that ABS module help. I'm sure you're going to be out more money if you sell it as is. Not to mention the hastle of trying to sell it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomoose Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 The ABS was easier than doing a brake job. Seriously took me an hour, max. And if I were buying a replacement engine, I'd buy it local, from the lowest mileage car I could find. I'd probably look for a wagon, thinking along the lines of socer mom, old lady car. ALWAYS peek into the oil filler cap and make sure there's no sign of dark deposits or sludge. It should be honey gold in there. Meaning the engine has had its oil changed. Look for a car with specs close to yours. Year, and a HPT. Plan on a new RMS, a timing belt job would be a good idea too... And this junk yard browsing will give you an idea of what's in your area, what parts are available, and you can hunt for a 5M swap for later on!

BtownVolvo Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yes! Nathan, you're my hero. Kellen, you live practically in the Volvo Mecca of the US. Stop making up excuses, find an engine, and drop it in. If you can put together Ikea furniture, you can install an engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiteguy1 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 so i think i am going to get the 15 inch macbook pro. i don't really even need it but it's $200 more than the 13 inch macbook and it has a faster processor and stuff. probably going to get it in the next couple of days. i just got the 13" i like the smaller version better. but either way lol way to go usa and loose to italy did you expect usa to win :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'93 Dave Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 did you expect usa to win they had me going on for the entire first half + with a man down. but i should have known, thats how usa plays. they are usually in the lead for a good amount of time then towards the end they get crushed.

dongle Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Parked in the shade with windows cracked. Was 108 when I first got in. I got sweaty just standing in the garage watching the CNC.
