Those are pics of a sparkplug I pulled out of my dsm a couple months ago. After checking it out the engine is completly worthless now, its a very heavy paper weight. I have replaced everything on that car, and now the engine blew and im stuck between a rock and a hard place. Theres no way I could afford a new engine, race or stock, at this point, im having alot of life issues. And even used motors are coming to be about $1,400 these days, USED! And junkyard motors, if we can find one, arent much better.
So now its time to panic. I have a limited budget and I really need my car back. I dont want to eat the $10,000+ dollars I have spent in repairs / maintenance / mods on my beautiful 1g dsm. So, does anyone out there know anyone with a cheap used motor laying around they could part with for a good price? Or have any other ideas for me?
I live in Southern California, and I could purchase a used motor to have it sent to RRE so they could check it out and put it in for me, I could probably take out the blown one with a friend. Could even install it too, but we dont have *that* much knowledge, and we dont even have a garage to use atm. Its no fun replacing a motor out on the street in the sun.
So please, if anyone out there can help me I would appreciate it so much, im in dire straights now. Anyone with ANY ideas please let me know, im looking for a miracle here, because it would break my heart if I was forced to part out my dsm and go buy a shitty beater car. Thanks in advance guys....
