I'm done with these F*#*#*#g cars!!

[Uberck]

s*** man don't be down, if anything, now's the time to have some fun. rev that f***er up to 7 grand and drop the clutch and spin em till you throw a rod (cracked blocks make for lots of fun with a torch ) then drop a hayabusa turbo motor in and that bish will screw

agreed with all above, but something else ill add thatll probably make you mad, if she wants a brand new G6, she should be paying for it, not you, because when the time comes that you want a new car, is she going to be footing the bill like you? i highly doubt it.

[adrianfromthecastle]

5th time's a charm!

[silvia_ks_69]

just do a swap, or rebuild with stronger parts?

you must be single

op, find another ka and swap it in. if you plan on tuning used cars from the 90's you should be expecting things like this to happen. quityerb****in and get to wrenching, or just quit altogether.

[Firewind]

You fail. Who doesn't check their head and block to see if it's warped before putting it back together?! Especially after it over heats, just sounds like you don't know what you're doing.

Just give me your engine block, and sell your car as a shell, clearly you don't want to keep working on a car that is going to have so many "Issues" go out and buy a new Lexus or BMW like all the other "cool" kids. lol

[projectdrift240kid]

i agree with Firewind ur just a big baby and don't kno anything about a good car when u see one mines a POS as other ppl say but i drive it like it was new and never had a problem like that......but its also a reason u don't let a woman drive ur car

[S13Joe]

yes 240's are a pita x 90000.. but they're 240's.. they're awesome. Anyone can have a damn honda or some s*** like that, but if you have a 240, you are the s*** lol. Store and do the swap bro.

God thats a gay post. I'm probably going to "quit" on the 240's too. I have mixed feelings for them now, they're basically the new civic anyways.

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

mine got overheated and i noticed when my rpm when up to 1000.so you can prevented that one;;;

[IanS]

Sell it to me for cheap.

[janda240sx]

i doubt it had a leaking water pump. that probably developed while driving, and you can't tell except by looking at teh temp gauge. but by the time the oem gauges starts to move its too late

Thanx for the defense. And to everyone else.....I've replaced these heads many times. You don't have to take it to a machine shop. I checked it myself at my house with dye to look for cracks. I can tear the motor down and replace the HG in about 4 hours. NO BIG DEAL. I'm just tired of doing it.

[Ghast]

Firewind , Why do you seem like an ***hole?

Good luck in whatever you do OP.

But did you check for warping? Checking it with dye is cool, but it sounds like you didn't check the the head for warping with a strait edge and .001 feeler gauge.

Firewind , Why do you seem like an ***hole?

Because I am?

[al240]

quoted from above"they're basically the new civic anyways".god man i hate to hear that cause iv been in love with these cars for so long but thats becoming more and more true everyday thinking bout getting an sti i used to get asked everyday "what kind of car is that" cause i dont have badges now everyone is like sweet 240 getting old anbody hear anything on the new 200sx's?

[projectdrift240kid]

they might be the new civic but anyone who gets one for that reason doesn't know that much about them tho and they hate them because they will have a problem

[zerepdivad]

Then sell it or give it to someone who knows how to do preventative maintenance.

[janda240sx]

LOL, You guys crack me up. Theres no need to be d!ck. I prolly do more preventative maint. than anyone on the planet. Thats how I still drive a 79 model ford with the original engine never been rebuilt. It was mistake that the head blew. I'm not sweating it anymore. Just need to decide what to do with the car now. I think a 400 sb or a 383 is on the way.

Oh yeah I did check it for warpage. It checked out fine. I may not have torqued it right who knows. mistakes are made all the time. I could redo it in a couple of hours I'm just tired of f***ing with it right now.

[fun240]

Sucks to hear that man!!!!

Sounds like a good swap to me. Good luck with it

What u doin with your girls car?

And her motor?

Its not that I really care that they're becoming the new civic. s***, they basically already are. In my eyes though, now is the time to sell. Atleast for me it is, I want to get into a different car and I've just become bored with the 240SX. I used to look forward to working on my car(s) and now its more of a hassle than anything. I've had 4 240's and its definately time for me to get into something different.

[projectdrift240kid]

u should just put a block on it get a bigger radiator nismo thermo and call it a day

[240pav]

PROJECT CAR : a large or major undertaking, esp. one involving considerable money, personnel, and equipment.

s*** happens, and if u dont want to deal with it, dont. if you do then take ur time and do it right

[zerepdivad]

Please elaborate on this "Just put a block on it" statement....

[Ghast]

well ok

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Boo f***ing hoo.

[karmakaze]

if i had a nickle for everytime i said i was done with my car i would be a millionaire.

[LOLChevyPower]

I wouldnt stress it to much. Any car can have a string of s***ty luck. When you really think about it, theres alot of s*** that COULD go wrong all the time that doesnt. So just fix it and wait for the next problem lol.

Dye doesnt check for warpage

[roplusbee]

I think you are just a little upset at the overheating issue. If you get rid of it and get something "new", you definitely won't have as much fun with it. There are a few exceptions to that statement, but the majority of new cars don't have the same appeal as the late 80s and early/mid 90s cars had. I think car companies are starting to bring that sort of thing back, but the economy is putting a damper on that at the moment. I say rebuild/swap and keep on moving. Just my 2 cents.

[IDRFT95S14]

i agree with the swap ,in the end youll be happier and glad u still have ur car but beefier and better,dont give up on it bro
