So, my car, with engine #3. It's a cool day here. I have done virtually no engine maintenance in.. let me think... 9000 miles, except change oil... .. I think, maybe..
Today, I had a moment to look and see if I could find a 'visable within 5 minutes' problem, and I yanked the air box.....
The throttle body looks almost as rich as the tailipipes. Hold on, let me stop laughing... I was ecstatic! So, then, because hell, I am maybe a total of 13 inches from the dipstick, and just gagging on my tongue, I checked the oil.. not a drop low, and black as the day is blew out of the ground, somewhere far, far away...
Hold on, I have to catch my breath... ...
Don't think for a second that I didn't expect to find this! Oh... I did. The car pulls like a soggy sponge... breath... .... hold on.. It runs rough, til warm, then it runs like shit... hold on... ... The valves sound like a skeleton, being played by the drummer from Rush..
I hate this this car, so I am starving it to death. When I am done with this motor, I want another car, that doesn't suck, and the injection works, and there isn't a book of bad feelings, between me, and happiness.
I need someone, in California, with time, an eye for a nice roller, a way to drag a car to a body shop -to the south-... have an interior installed, have a suspension installed, take it to Steve's for a motor, and just make sure that every part is there, and in no worse condition than 9.9/10.
I need a contractor.. and some numbers. Hell, give me a full price on a nice car, whatever.... I have been with 914s for a long time, I want a car that isn't a... -numerous gratuitous expletives deleted-.. that I'd rather see dead.
... BEST ONE I EVER HAD... hold on... breath...
