update on the situation: The car runs perfectly fine with the exception that when I first start up the car it ticks for about 2 minutes of driving then I dont hear it. I havent heard any knocking noise since the night it happened. Im going to be calling some shops about rebuild costs pretty soon and also get a second opinion from tansky toyota ( I first took it to toyota direct)
Thanks for the replys everyone. The engine cannot be rebuilt. It has a ceramic coating from what I was told by toyota. That was the first thing I thought of
wow no kidding? Toyota mentioned a jasper motor to me for about 7000 and thats a bit pricey. Theres a slight chance I can get a motor from toyota for free or cheap if I can get the oil records from the previous owner. He told me the car was taken care of and oil changes regularly. I drove the car home today from the shop. Car runs but definitly something is going to go soon
My cars engine started knocking, I took it to the dealer. THey said I need a new motor and im trying to find one with fairly low milage. Iv emailed a ton of salvage yards.
Im going to the game. Im going to arizona on the 25th and we have a condo out there. My dad went to school at Notre Dame so we are big fans and my brother has a good connection for tickets. Should be a good game too
I was considering buying a 94 300zx NA 2+0 5speed. Not a bad car, handling was great, but the acceleration wasn't anything special. I would love to own a TT model tho
