I am not sure the exact date, but I do know it is very early Jan.
About getting a new engine?
I looked into it, and was quoted $2,500 inc. installation.
I do not have this cash.
The other option is to get a second hand engine for $450, but then I do not know how to install it.
Plus ontop of that, I have been told that you might aswell change the clutch, and get new leads, hoses, etc.. so add another $500 ontop of that.
And this takes alot of time and messing around.
There was NOTHING else wrong with the car. And I have been told that the gear box's in these beasts are indestructable.
