This marks the 3rd CA I've gotten my hands on since I got to Germany.
The doner 200sx
With just Jay and myself working to pull it out, we had to make a make-shift cherry picker. We slung a cargo strap over my upper support in my garage and pulled it up that way. Germans must have pretty good wood cause this support beam never even made a noise.
Motor's out and is going to sit next to my other one until I can get my hands on a motorstand and begin work rebuilding.
We dragged the gutted carcass around Germany, all the way back to Ramstein AB, using only the busiest residential roads, as we love the look on their faces when we tow cars w/cargo straps =P (actually its illegal to tow anything for a given distance on an autobahn).
After the towing, we threw dinner together really quick, a spaghetti sandwich.
And then headed off to our real job, workin for Uncle Sam =)

Yea, motor has only 50k km on it, pretty nice =)c-rad wrote:Ok, I want a spare head and intake manifold, and the 240km/h gauge cluster and speed sensor off the transmission
That motor is clean dude... Almost makes me want to join the military so I can be stationed somewhere else to get some cool stuff!

Re: (KaZ (VaBch))
Motor has a few issues, eats o2 sensors, needs new motor bearings, injectors were leaking, etc. The individual who owned it doesnt have the will to repair the faulty motor, so I bought it off him.KaZ (VaBch) wrote:What was wrong with the 200sx you pulled the engine out of?
