wood_e. u got really lucky. a well running audi for 2k. that isnt an offer he is going to come across every day.

 

throw the evo 8 or 9 motor in there

 

I suppose... my friend's dad really wanted to get rid of the car, and I've known the family for 12 years, so it was an easy sale

Yeah you're not going to find that every day, but it can happen.

 

lol. mine was 14k out the door from a lot. but i didnt really have a choise. my parents r hella strict abou safty. and this has 7 airbags. and we had 11k insurance payout form last car.

 

**** all of that get the new LS7 crate engine and have that put in there. HAHA that would be bitchen.

 

Some dude put an LS7 into a BMW... it sounded sick

 

well yeah, a 7 liter in a bemmer. what would you expect. thats a bad *** engine to.

 

Any turbo car that is modded to well over factory spec is going to become unreliable unless the owner knows how to maintain it
There are many turbo cars under the 300hp range that just have constant reliability issues, but that's not the car's fault, that's the owner's fault because of poor maintenance for any car. Then there are many 4g63 motored cars over 400hp that have issues too but their issues are because they keep blowing IC pipes off. So, go figure.
I agree with the last statement though.

 

I'd get a used engine from dads auto in california. From there you can either go Big turbo or K04. While the engine is out you can upgrade the clutch for more power.

Other than the engine not running, how do you know it is blown? There are lots of reasons that cars dont run that dont need engine replacements.
