Recently I have been expierencing some overheating problems, replaced just about everything to do with cooling. Yesterday I have driving and my lower radiator hose blows out, no big deal, go to schucks and replace it. I start my car and find a HUGE cloud of smoke pouring out of my exhaust, FAWK! Blown headgasket..
I have just about had it with this car and I want your guys opinion on what I should do, first off the car has 35k on rebuild, big16g, PR fmic, alum rad, 2.5" exhaust, act 2600+flywheel, also have wally 190, boost,EGT, and oil gauges not installed. Now for the bad, it leaks oil like non other, I cant even see where its coming from bcuz all under the car is COATED with oil and it drips from just about everywhere, body is kinda ruff needs paint and body work, missing drivers side wing trim, brakes are screwed, suspention is ruff, mis matched tires, missing interior pieces, no radio, no doorspeakers, horrible alignment, clanking sound in tranny, now to top it off a blown headgasket. just about everything is half assed on this car, was like that when I bought it.
So, I am leaning towards selling it for what I can get for it, what I am asking you guys is should I sell it, and look for another DSM , and take off good parts (fmic,rad,turbo etc..) or do you guys think it would be worth to keep and fix it over time.
I am DEFINETELY staying in the DSM game, I just am stumped on what to do, its like I keep dumping money into this thing and its problem after problem, and I know thats part of having a DSM and thats cool, but my car is really really bad haha. I am also going to look at a clean ass 2G 2morrow.
Sorry for the long post, thank you to those of you who have read it, I just need a second opinion.
