Thinkin bout just throwin in the towel

Post by **Silent Drifter** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 6:21 pm

Well I seem to take on some pretty impossible tasks, an amazingly i seem to get through them. But lately ive been considering if i should continue with my 240 project. I have a 89 coupe which ive got parts out the A$$ for just havent put them on. For one i need to put the 5spd in, 2nd put the DOHC in, 3rd silvia conversion, then bunch of other miscellanous stuff. So I dont know im really bored so I felt like posting. I dunno if I should just sell everything an get some of my money back or just keep at it?

That's why we have big bright halogen lights (or should). :pface

Keep at it though. I have a buddy who threw in the towel on his, and is already looking for another one cause he missed it.

you don't know wanting to throw int he towel... Clean it off and reuse it. You'll be happier in the end.

everything worth doing is difficult. You eventually hit a wall in anything you do if it requires time. just keep going.

Hey, be fortunate, your car still runs. Try racing a Dodge for christ's sake.

I swear I almost listed every single 240 related thing I own in the B/S/T section the other week. Car projects get frustrating, its just a fact of how they go. Keep in it at least until you get SOMETHIGN done so you can have a sense of accomplishment

wow 4cefed, that's a lot of turbo dodge...

ever have one of the caravans?

oh, don't throw in the towel you nancy boy! did Rocky ever say quit? I think not! and I don't even care if a juiced up steroid monger Russian kills your loudmouth flashy black friend, you don't quit!

i think if you dont love having the project then you wont be really satisfied with it.

kinda like some people i met with nice cars. but they kinda did it cause its the "in" thing to do. and then they end up selling their cars and gettin a acura TL or something.

just a thought

ill take the car off yur hands if you dont want it anymore :-D

Post by **offtheline** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 6:21 pm

If you have all of those parts, why aren't you excited? I can hardly sleep when I have a new part sitting in my room waiting to be put on.

I think you should definitely keep at it though. If you don't, you will go into 240 withdrawl and will whither away and never have sex again. ;(

haha well im lookin to sell the coupe an 5spd swap right now an get a coupe thats already has 5spd. Well see what happens I might attempt puttin the 5spd in next week. But thanks again for the support an yes I can relate to the 240 with drawls. Imagine have 2 240s which both dont run. Ive been dieing to drive a 240.

Jeff... one weekend you, me, and other tampa area guys can work on your car

Post by **DGA** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 6:21 pm

When I feel frustrated at my projects, especially my 240, I lock myself in the garage with all the necessary parts and tools. I than proceed to get very drunk and work on my car till I pass out on the floor. It helps aleviate stress, and at the same time you get something accomplished.:bearchug On the other hand this is probably the reason that my 240 is not running yet. But it is ****s and giggles, when you look back at it.

Hmmm. Nothing like dropping in a transmission and an engine when ur wasted. Hope ur not welding!

Mr1der:

Nope, no family haulers, but I have seen an '88 turbo minivan race in the hillclimb series around here.

Post by **Mr1der** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 6:21 pm

good god, hill climbing? that's gotta be comedy...

there was a wrecked one around here for a 100 bucks that I had intended on getting and fixing a while back then lost my job...I had plans to totally rice it out and mod the motor to give idiots in civics and neons the embaressment of their lives:(
