Re: my baby died tonight
She is not allowed to die untill you tell her too.
There are 3.3s all around. She can live some more if you let her.

I have one EG33, from a 96, around 103K.
It ran great before it was pulled. kk3600@gmail.com if interested. My PM is full and I don't check. I check email once a while a couple days.

Re: my baby died tonight
I know how you feel. I blew up my celica last night. Only good thing is, it made me get my svx on the road quicker. Just got a sticker and on the road today.

Re: my baby died tonight
Oh I can think of quite a few more "good things" about blowing up a celica.

Re: my baby died tonight
Man, that car was a warrior. It had over 250k miles of HARD driving to work and back. It is a 90 gt. Was like driving a go cart. I dont have the heart to crush it, i'm going to put in another engine.

Re: my baby died tonight
Got $700? My brother found a claret (maroon w/ black top) for sale at a dealer here in tampa for $700. I'm going to try to get the number for you. Idk how many miles, but they said it runs and the trans is good, so should be a good option for you.

Re: my baby died tonight
Well I found out the cause of the knocking noise. The piston ring on my #1 cylinder is basically gone. I temporarily switched to 20w-50 with Lucas oil stabliser. Exactly how long can i drive the car like this till I can't re-hone it ?
