I'm definitely going to sleep on it. For right now i'm and definitely going to pull off the kit and put it up for sale. At my current standing I am planning on putting the car back to stock and trading it in for another platform. If I keep the tc, it will have a bone stock engine. That seems very unlikely to happen though. I think its just time for me to move on.
I acheived all my goals with the car I had put out, well almost with the turbo. I had plan to never ever put the car on sale, my blood sweat and tears went into this car since I was 16. It was unfortunate it had to end like this. I hate throwing away my dream.
I'm going to conclude that my motor went out because of oil starvation, why exactly I don't know. There wasn't enough pan sealant to drop my pressure THAT much. The main stuff that was in the strainer was sludge from Mobil 5w30 on 250 miles. Everyone seems to get 60psi at startup, but my car never saw that kind of pressure, even the first startup I had. I only saw about 40psi tops.

sorry homie.. this sucks to hear especially after how long you waited..
but dont give up man.. you cant.. youve come to far.. as someone said before make it a project car.. you wont feel content till you complete.. its like retiring after you have the worst season of your life in the NBA... you just dont do it.
but if you quit i would understand.
be easy bro!

I'm not sure what I am going to move on to yet. I'm going to sell all my parts and probably end up making payments on the next car I buy. I'm going to look at TL, TSX, and if I feel like paying alot of money, an IS250. Does anyone have a stock a pillar with SRS they want to sell me?

Chris, you should be able to get it out with a one of those reverse thread bolt removers. We had use one because my buddy broke his pressure plate bolt in his flywheel.

damn chris, you shouldn't have man! That's a pretty sick heat shield though. I'm not sure if I can accept this gesture though bro, I did what I did to my car and its my responsibility to fix/pay for my mistakes. Even if it means moving on to a new ride.
and hot damn, carlos's car looks MEAN.

that is such a good Idea. Crush your the nices guy on this site man. I have not ran into someone that has devoted so much of himself to this community. I always see fools saying they have your tunes and what not and I too can say that since I got laid off a while back and you sent me a tune for when I am done getting boosted to have something to drive to the tuner. thanks man. nice of you for what you are doing for kev too.

Hey man sorry to hear about your trouble. My motor blew up as well but i'm moving on into the build motor game. I also plan ( just like you were ) not to sell the tC and make it a monster.
Just look at it this way, yes it sucks having messed up motor but it also can move you forwards towards more power if you build yourself a motor.

Rus, I know how it feels man. How much is it costing to have your motor built? I'm pretty sure I'm out of the FI game if I do keep the tc. Kit has to go on sale for a new motor if I choose, or a down payment for a new car. I've been looking around at other cars, and the only thing that has caught my eye is a TL-S, which is way out of my price range. Car searching sucks *****.
