JULIAN WANTS TO FIX HIS CAR (jdm front clip involved) - Florida's Mitsubishi 3000GT & Dodge Stealth Community!

JulianVR4 · 09-04-2007, 08:26 PM

I have a chance to get my VR4 back after it sitting pretty much for 2 years (I remember the day it left on a tow truck lol)

This is the deal. The car is completely gutted pretty much (in the engine bay)

The person that I gave the car to was supposed to swap the engine and whatever electronics he needed from the front clip into his (MY) car and everything is happy.

Well, he never got around to doing it, and he gave the car to another person to do it. They never got around to doing it either, so now I still have the title, and i have the car and the front clip (provided I can come get it). Timing couldn't be better either, since I fear the headgasket on my beater car is about to blow, and I plan on moving out of state halfway through next year.

WHAT I WANT:
I need someone to lend me their services (facilities/space, cherry picker, help, whatever)

I need someone to help me do this since I can't kick everyone out of the garage to swap an engine. I have plenty of tools (minus specialty tools and a cherry picker) and I actually have a friend with a tow truck (SWEET) So I'd say i can go pretty much wherever in Ga or FL. I just need the space and some time to do it.

Not so much interested in making the car hella fast, I just want it to run GOOD. Meaning, drive it to oklahoma without worrying about bearings or timing belt on the way there.

Advice/comments/suggestions. Discuss.

PS: This definitely would NOT be favor work. After owning this, I understand you gotta pay to play. I just need my damn car back.

alright, gotdammit. Where the hell do i drop it off (at a shop in FL) for them to fix this thing? I REALLY need it running. I dont feel like trailoring it up to NC or Ohio or NY.

Who would YOU trust with your VR4?

Only person I really trust with my VR-4 is me

But I'm waay too tied up with school and work right now, I can hardly find time to work on it anymore.

So whats up man? What the hell have you been up to? And why are you moving?

damn, i wish i could help, but i just got done with the same thing. helped a friend of mine turbo his civic, then he melted a piston so i built his engine and will be re-turboing again soon after break-in. if you dont think it would take too long i might still be ok with it though

Jake
I just need to get out of jacksonville. I get off probation (lol) october 8, and then I am free to roam about the country

No you didnt.

Evan
You da man

Jake's friend Dan offered his services to bang this thing out and get it running. I forsee about 1200 bucks @ precision machine getting the engine and transmission cleaned up before it actually runs good. The front valve cover on the front clip was taken on and about 5 pints of water were siphoned out of the engine and it had to be broken loose before i started spinning again

Probation!?! You went on and on about all that other bullshit on the phone but didn't tell me about this? Come on, spill it, what did you get arrested doing on your bike

GTA: Real Life.

Would you believe me if I told you I got suckered into it? No? Ok, well I didn't. I kinda knew it wasn't dude's roommate's bike

How come I'm a badass hooligan and I have 0 rep power?

J-Ville VR-4 · 09-13-2007, 12:35 AM

Florida3S doesn't rep felons

jk, I just read the post about what happened, thats some crazy shit

threshold braking on a bike is hard as hell, I usually end up locking the rear too, but I barely have any experience doing it.

When you stopped by Shelby's awhile back with the cast on, is that when all that happened?
