7950, hate to see it go
Posted by kyeclipseracer, Nov-22-01 01:37 PM
well mine has spun the rod bearings for the last time the P.O.S. is gone as soon as it gets back together. I do not know what I am going to get as far as a replacement goes but it will probaly not be a 420a. I know people who have had good luck and a lot more who have had bad luck out of them. So those with good luck hope you can keep it up. I just can't afford to replace a shaft and bearings every year. Later guys good luck

sounds like me bro, I am getting rid of mine once it comes out of the shop. It's not the bearing this time but I have had that twice. I don't know whats wrong with it this time besides the HG leak. I am sick of it though. I am going to find a beater to drive, like a ford festiva or a geo metro. That way I can't go fast and kill the car.

Fast420A, say it aint so Bro. Damn man you have been an enormous help to me and others. But its good to see you are still going to be apart of this forum. So I guess you aint going to hit your dream of the first to hit the 14's all motor, but then again you were even "Contemplating Turbo. . . . ." as well. DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNN. That sucks when you have too many problems one after the other.
