Ya, we did the compression check there, and found out the news. The motor weant from years of tremendous abuse, driving hard with unsafe tunes, detonating, etc, etc. I just beat the shit out of the motor. The turbo wasnt the cause, which would have made it that much more sucky if it was, meaning that is something else I need that I couldnt sell, haha.
Im actually parting out everything minus the tranny. The reason Im doing this is because I am still keeping the car, but dropping a JDM STi motor in it, and will soon be at power levels once again necessitating the tranny. I appreciate the offer though.
I think you should sell everything in the engine bay, put the exterior and suspension back to bone ass stock... along with the engine... and just drive the mother fucking piss out of it... you know the body isnt "GREAT", neither is the inside now that it smells of raw fuel fumes. And a cheap used stock engine will probably be the cheapest route, and instead of being cool cause your car is fast, you will be cool because you actually drive your car.
I heard, that some mexican was driving it to starbucks and hit 120 on the S turns goin from 168 to 64, and never let off when it started knocking in 4th...
