As I was driving home from work in my 95 eclipse, system screaming some System of a Down, intake providing that usual sucking sound, indicating a stock mustang in the rearview, lol, I was overtaken by the display on the water temp gauge, in the red, on a normal day (95F in Texas), where it should have been slightly higher than 50%, but was well above 90%. The next exit was 1.3 miles away, oh shit!!, no shoulder. Throttling down and turning the heater on full blast to pull the heat from the engine, I found myself scrambling for the next exit to pull over and find out what the problem might be. As I take the next exit ramp, limping along, temp gauge full on red, engine revolting my every move, i came to the nearest stop light where my eclipse subsequently died with full blown steam coming from the hood, and absolutely no response from the throttle.
When the tow truck finally came, and he dropped the beast off at my house in a show of humility only a NT DSM'er would know(no crack to DSM'ers), I decided that this would be that last time I would suffer that as a NT.
This car will be transformed into an mustang eating turbo spoolin' POS if I had anything to do with it. To make the long story short...
Upon inspection, valve stems bent, races scored, cylinder compression about as consistent as a kinky Friedman voter turn out, I decided that this POS is going to be a turbo'd screamin POS if I had anything to do with it, lol.
To be continued....
