Yep, just getting back on my feet and my fucking engine blows. Now I have two KA's under my belt. How gnarly is that? Anyone have a KADE or Running S13 they will let go for around $1k or cheaper? *a

an oem rebuild is out of the question?
that would ensure you get an engine that'll last you bit.
details?

Well I was coming home From Charlotte to my house in Greensboro for the weekend. I just got payed today by Merchants. A week late with my check. I am new and they fucked the paper work up. So my water pump went out like 4 days ago. So I had been driving it solely to work and back (only a 1.5 each way). Well I ordered one to AutoZone here in the Boro and no sooner do I get 10miles outside of Charlotte, I hear kaboom and then smoke coming from the centerconsole and when I let off the gas it barrelled out the rear. I thought about stopping and hitching a ride to Greenboro with my roomie but I said fuck it. So I drove 60 more miles home and now its sitting outisde.
Not going to rebuild cause my heart is set on a DOHC. *a

1) Learn how to maintain an engine.
2) Learn how to drive said engine so as not to blow it apart.
3) Use that money saved for other things.

Well I know how to maintain it and I know how to drive it so it wont blow. Engine was bad anyways (bad piston ring and some other stuff) but gave out a week early. I am suppose to swap in a KADE next weekend. Plus I was buying what was said to have only 40k on the clock and supposedly a woman owned it. My fault I didnt look into it more then I did. *a

Alec, 67 Motors in Pfafftown has one, so does Triad Auto Salvage in Winston and Auto Recyclers of Laurinberg in, well, Laurinberg.
... you should know where the first 2 are, they're in your county, the last one is right near rockingham, about an hour away.
