cmamtower Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 me and wilson (wL<3Bass) went up to the salvage yard, junkyard, whatever you wanna called it and i found myself a new (slow) motor for my already slow car : ) we loaded it into the back of his truck and off we went, has 70xxx miles on it and i only payed 400 bucks for it. finally somethings going my way, so now i gotta find time to pull the old motor and drop in the new one : ) Quote apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 its just a little 1.6 sohc.. what my car came with, its not geo metro slow, its fast enough to keep me entertained at times and gets awesome gas mileage. the cheapest i could find the motor any other place was like 900 bucks for a couple hundred thousand miles, this was by far a steal. : ) thanks to wL<3bass's brother for talking to some honda gurus and finding it for me : ) Quote apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 ive located your problem .... honda ... my problem before is the water pump seized up and motor overheated, therefore causing the bearing to expand and then spinning, if nothing goes wrong with the motors and you do some routine maintenance every 3 months or so, hondas will last forever : ) Quote apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.
