yesterday, i installed a freshly welded diff for the purpose of destroying everything in sight.
hit a couple local spots, about 3 min each within a 30 min timeframe, then got on the interstate and was losing crazy power, then car died. got it home, super low oil, car had plenty of oil in it when i went out that night, and i jsut had a new valve cover gasket put on cuz it was leaking bad b4. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS NOT HOOKT UP.
anyways, motor still idles now, not well, starts to knock slightly around 2500-3k rpm.
last night was my first night sliding a turbo 40, ive slid na ka for over 3 years and loved it. always dreamed of slidind ka-t. but i didnt have the best experience. LOTS OF SPINNING OUT. i dont know if its because i simply havent driven a turbo car before, or the fact that the pulsar t28 had to sharp of a torque curve, or is it the fact that i had no powersteering. I DONT KNOW, but i considered myself a pretty good drifter before last night.
now i suck and i fuct up the motor. sick life : )
any advice would be greeatly appreciated.
my friend said he would redo the bearing for 300 labor. but im not sure if i want to rebuild this.
im thinking of putting it up for trade or sale or part out. not sure yet tho.
