Car Enthusiast Club [Now Motorcycle friendly!] - First thread to 150k! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[bcredeur97]

Contacted the seller one ebay for this engine. He worked with me, got a compression test done and everything. 


155-160-160-155

 

 

Sure glad I asked... 63k miles and already that low compression? sheesh. The car was in immaculate condition before the accident from the pics he sent, and had just been rear ended... And it was an automatic!

OMG HE LITERALLY JUST ADMITTED HE LIED TO ME

 

 

ROFL

he's asking me how to spin the engine now since the starter mounts to the transmission and it's not attached.

 

He straight up said "I should of been a better BS'er... I should know better, good on you for looking into your stuff"

 

LOL I cant believe this just happened XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Seems it would be easier to flip your miata to some 16 year old boy racer and get another (or s2k swap) over finding a non sketch motor.

with all the new parts on my car and it being an SE? no thanks... 

 

Next to the mazdaspeed miata...(which has many downsides... it was terribly implemented according to the forums...) mine is the most desirable and valuable one. It was the last one with the good engine, the torsen, and the sporty bits, and it was a great color combo unlike the bright yellow SE. They only made a little over 1000 of mine....

 

the 03+'s used that crappy exploding LSD

I can't remember why this would be an issue

 

Any reason you can't get a 1.8L from a NA Miata / Eunos Roadster?

tfw 3.5gb... though I bought the 970 before bloat, and when I intended to stay with 1080p. Now at 1440p it pegs out pretty fast. 

 

And DX12 was supposed to save us from vram bloat LUL.

Good first gen CTS-Vs are pretty much C5 money. Not really a good buy unless you really want the 4 doors.

the tune was really terrible. and the crazy short gearing with the 6 speed is not exactly ideal...

Sounds like a bad roller on a lifter, but really hard to tell. I wouldn't run it anymore aside to get it to a shop.
