hah got that last part right. did the dude do the swap in his garage?
Most of our projects focus on taking apart a perfectly good car and screwing it up. At least that's what the masses would think. In personalizing, customizing, and focusing our cars on performance above all else, we inevitably upset the delicate balance of ride and handling, horsepower and fuel economy, and perhaps even styling and anonymity that the OEM spent so many billions of dollars to achieve. Whatever, we think they're better.

yeah, but doesnt run now. It ran so good when we were driving too.. The orig. owner is helping me every way he can. DO NOT construe my post and think that I made this to bash him. I did not. I just wanted to post one hell of an adventure that I had in the last 2 days to get my 240. I am happy its in my garage, running or not. I hated my honda.

A caliper hanging? You just suck at inspection.As for the turbo, I recommend using super glue next time you attach it to the manifold. Although, personally I would use QuikSteel.

Then someone sucks at torque down on bolts.I knew one guy who had brake pads fell off his Accord. But he's a trakker nerd so that's to be expected. My engine bay just got painted black too. Not too pretty on closeup. There are tiny bumps that needs to be sanded.

No, it's a common problem on bottom mounted SR's. All the backpressure in the exhaust manifold, heat, and vibration cause the bolts to work loose. That is why the OEM turbo has lock plates on the bolts. If the car died like that then you need to check the fuel pump, ECU, or MAF.

Wow what a bummer of trip man, luckily enough you got it back. Getting it to run is only a minor setback for otherwise a clean car. Good luck.

you got royally ****ed. only thing you can do is hope that whatever "rebuild" was done on the car prior to your purchase was done by someone other than whoever worked on the rest of the car. i will NEVER buy a car that has been built by someone else. EVER.

oh yeah its worth it to me. Sure it has a few little things to be done, but when its done, its going to be legit. Paint will be on in like 3 weeks. Gives me some time to find a new bumper.
