SVX splooged
Yes, "splooged" is the technical term.
After 1 week of owning it, I went down Hepburn Ave and I started hearing spurting noises and a smoke show was on in the interior and engine bay. I seem to have blown a hose or head or something. I thought it was the transmission, due to them commonly going in these cars. Helped me believe so when I heard a bit of a grind when shifting to neutral. Towed the car home safely. Wasn't able to pop the hood open, due to release cable snapping the previous day, lol. Fun, fun, fun. So, where's the best place to get myself sorted? I may need to rebuild it, seeing how I'm nearing 200000km. I've heard of WRX swaps, but I was quoted scary prices for that last time :P I'd also want to keep it a 6cyl to keep the luxury gt thing going. What kind of bank rape am I looking at for a rebuild? It's basically a EJ22 + 2cylinders, according to what I heard, so it shouldn't be too drastic, should it? As for myself, I'm remaining positive. New experience for myself, and prompts me to listen to my car more. I still love the car and wish to keep it. I see broken bits as an open door to what else can be done. Though, if my wallet was human I'm sure I would be receiving multiple stab wounds by now. |
