Mitch Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 GET YOUR MONEY BACK from the original seller and don't look back...if you can. He knew it was only time before it was shot to shit. You paid for the whole running car, not a shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janszen Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 yea i know... its pry going to turn into a legal battle, if so I'm milking him for a lot for putting me through this stupid shit. and for not having a car for a while. He said i could return it then as we were working out the details he decides he doesn't want to any more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janszen Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 if you didnt see what i posted on the other thread, the engine was a swap and only got 1800 mile before the rod bearing got spun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 got spun. Use the money you were going to use for the car and go to english class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Josh, you could do it yourself. All of the hard work has been done for you already by the MR2 Warehouse, so swapping out the one in it would be simple. All of the 3SGE wiring has already been done for you....

Janszen Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 yea but the problem is that i have to find a 3sge block and cant seem to find a gen 3 anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the 3SGE wiring has already been done for you.... this is exactly what i was telling him and he doesn't believe me. if you would want to help on this project then we have 5 guys swaping an engine. i think it should go rather fast. especialy if he just ships the block to some guy in cali.

Janszen Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well back to the main question does anyone know a shop that does engine for reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm guessing one of the shops mentioned 365 times a day on this site might be able to do it. Pick up the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well back to the main question does anyone know a shop that does engine for reasonable price People are trying to help you find a solution to the problem. Don't discount them just because you don't have the confidence to try it. Really, what do you have to lose? Kevin's right, there are shops mentioned multiple times a day. Look in the sponsor's section and pick up a phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janszen Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I wasnt trying to be rude or anything, i already know that there are shops i was really just posting this hoping for a quick yes or no that a shop like ips is even capable of doing a swap, thats all i was asking. ill be calling around soon, but i might have a fix for the problem so well see.

evan9381 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 i dont know anything about those engines, or if everything is ready and the new engine just needs to be dropped in, but John Rutan (RutanTA) did an engine swap for me (stock for stock) for like 300$. i know hes at a different shop now, so i dont know if he is still able to, but check with him. top notch work and he was extremely fast. i dropped it off friday, he said he wouldnt be able to start til monday, which was fine with me, and he called me tues morn and said it was done. unfortunately i couldnt get to him until wed, but when i did, everything was perfect!
