It was a good run, but I think its fate is just about sealed. Ever since I brought it back to NY from Cali it has just become one problem after another. First it was the IACV, than mounting bracket for the pedals cracked so the clutch won't come off of the flywheel. In order to start it I had to bypass the neutral safety switch. Now it has a huge crack in the windshield and it is overheating because the temperature sensor goes bad every 2 months so the fan won't kick on (even though I know it is an easy fix with a paperclip). What irks me the most is that I have about $10,000 invested into the car including the cost of it. Now I probably won't even be able to sell it for more than $3k...

Since I don't have the time or the resources, I brought it to a trusted mech (friend of the fam) to replace the pedal bracket. He has had my car for about a week now and today he told me that he may not be able to fix it. I told him I could leave my car there for another week since I am going to Europe for Spring Break and he said it may involve removing the whole dash to fix it. I don't even want to guess how much this is going to cost me. If I don't fix this problem though, I will only be able to sell it for considerably less...

It runs so well, but everything other than the motor is just falling apart :wtc:

 

bring it back to CA and I'l take your motor

Good luck

 

Sucks man :wtc:

 

Sad part is, the motor is probably worth more than if I sold the car with the motor inside it h:

I have been driving around for like 2 weeks without really using the clutch pedal. Just revving it up to the right rpm and slamming the stick.

 

Well there goes your synchs in no time

 

so you can drive the car without needing to shift? thats awesome lol.

Part the car ftw

 

You gotta remove some of that interior stuff and the bodykit, then the car will stop hating you.

hee, awesome statement....
anyways sorry to hear man... hope u have a awesome spring break though

 

Buy another rex body and put that beast in it! You could get a good bit for it where I live.

 

lol, I bought it like that. I have the stock front bumper and I was going to repaint everything black as a summer project (including the body). However, I fear it won't make it.

I just posted it up on MySpace classifieds asking $4k but stated that it is negotiable. We'll see what happens.
