Bummer!
No other sounds or screams of death. It may not be terminal.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?
