blew my motor today
well one day a few months ago, my oil ran a little lower than i realized and ever since then my motor has been clicking during acceleration. today i was accelerating on the interstate to pass a car (doing 5k rpm in 3rd.... around 80 mph) and i heard a bad noise. I looked in my rearview and saw smoke pouring from behind my car. my motor shut off and i stopped and looked under the hood and oil was covering everything. good news is i found an ex motor with only 60k miles (mine had 119k )and a brand new clutch for $600 15 minutes after it happened. btw, does anyone know if 7th gen ex trans' differ from lx trans'? so yeah, i've had a bad day.... haha.

well, it has vtec and mine doesn't so the motor itself is an upgrade. its not like i'm upgrading to a k20, but i'm trying to sell the car anyway, so i'm not trying to put that much money into it and i don't have that kind of money lying around at the moment anyway.

yeah, i'm getting the ecu and everything... i'm considering keeping it, since someone hit me and has to give me $2400 for the damage. that will leave my payoff at around $500. i really doubt i will keep it though, i'm probably going to put the $2400 in savings until i sell my car. i found a 99 hatch with a b20 motor and ls trans for $3k, the motor has 40k miles and the trans needs 3rd gear synchros, so i will probably just get that after i sell my car. since my g/f bought me a turbo for my bday last year, i do have a garrett t3 waiting on my next car.

the motor and tranny aren't even in the car. this guy is a friend of mine and has tons of honda parts lying around. i just sold him a honda shell to fix and sell. he asked me what i was looking for when he saw my car was for sell. i told him i wanted an ek hatch and how much i wanted to spend and he told me he'd put that motor and tranny in it and sell it to me for that much. with so little mileage on the parts, i doubt it could be in that bad of shape.
