FML! Money shifted my s50 swap! FIRST DAY!

[mohamadr89]

Don't worry everybody, I was at the tracks. First run against the Lexus I hit 13.6.
2nd run against the wrx... Well let's not talk about that run. Lol n yea now does seem like a good time to rebuild the motor but that's pretty pricey. There is a guy on craigslist with a s52 for about 1200. He is my mechanics friends so I can probably talk him down to 1000. Anyways... I thought I had the shifting down but I guess I got ahead of myself. The car was much faster than what it used to be. I just wish I could of at least woke up to take it on a drive in the morning... This sucks... I'm so bummed out. The first day! Actually first night! I might just go with that s52, use all my obd1 stuff and part out anything left on the engine that's good.

Ouch dude. Ouch.

I know, this sucks danko....

So what is it doing now? Is it running like shit? Not running at all? Little bit of valve floating never heart anyone. And your syncros are supposed to keep the car from doing exactly what you did. So if you got the motor from your mechanic maybe you can meet in the middle on something.

What the hell were you doing at 7.5k in the first place?

Meet in the middle on what? He fucked it up now he has to pay the price.

Moe bought a wrecked 95 m3 from the auction. The mechanic only installed it. Moe supplied the product, mechanic provided the service.

Moe, buy the s52 from Danny if you could, freshen up the head a bit, and be even faster than your s50 powered vert. But this time learn how to drive and shift because, that's pretty important.

Seems like the best bet or just rebuild the S50. Who knows when the S52 might go without rebuilding it?

It's because of your angel eyes.

sucks that happened to you but you should have waited until you got used to the new setup before trying to race. It's no surprise this happened.

[mohamadr89]

Yea shifting is pretty important isn't it danko? Lol n Danny is the guy with the red 4 door right? I honestly love my vert way better than his. N plus I just finished my project n I don't got another 10k to drop. My car starts up still but then it shuts off if you don't keep giving it gas..... I drove it up my driveway because it was too steep to push it up. N I like my angel eyes. Lol

My 14YO son wants to know if you were granny shifting.

[reelizmpro]

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should...

[mohamadr89]

This is my first time I have had this happen to me. Also it's my 4th stick shift car. I just fucked up. It happens....
