How long do you think Jeremy's car will stay running?

[RallyEX]

Okay, just for giggles, I've made a little poll. Please vote accordingly and post comments as you see necessary.

This poll is in no way a reflection of the quality of work that Kurt, Robbie, and Liam have done... and come to think of it, it's also not a reflection of the parts that I sourced as well.

Ready..... VOTE!

Then what's it a reflection of? I say way over 6 months. As long as some unknown circumstances happen, ie. some drunk guy runs him off the road.


LET'S GO! :!: ! :!: !

It's a reflection of nothing... Just a poll man.

I think this one will hold together since jeremy now knows, what can happen when you ever rev those motors.. he'll take car of er...I hope :wink:

[narfdanarf]

yeah, cause those motors weren't meant to rev or anything. :wink:

Revving to what it was designed for and over-reving are two different things..... 8)

[xjoewhitex]

i think hes just making fun of D series motors, But oh well I rock the B series.... 8)

[RobbieNelson]

It's ALIVE!!!!!!

[narfdanarf]

how's it runnin?

[daveb91]

i think it will last to at least Rosemar road its all down hill to there. :lol:

[xjoewhitex]

I hope this motor at least lasts a little while for jeremy, since he doesnt have another car to drive... He just needs to get those valves adjusted before it becomes a daily once again.... 8)

[daveb91]

I just realized i shouldnt have made fun of how long i think jeremys engine will last because we all know how sensitive he is and this might depress him :roll: . Seriously though it is a cool thing that so many of you guys took your free time to get his car back on the road.

aside from a rattling valve train, it's running fine, couple of cranks and it fired, but, uh, no beer and no tv makes liam go something something

idb with kurt?

[Kurt_W]

idb with kurt?

Nah way man, I don't like dealing with the issues of married people...that and I only like partners that can handle 300 hp motorcycles.

On a more serious note: The engine fired up pretty quickly. The idle fluctuated a bit for a while but it never stalled or did anything terribly concerning. It definitely needs a valve adjustment and maybe the cam caps retorqued before he drives it to often. Right now its a pretty loose sounding engine.

Anyone know if he made it home last night? I hope so and I hope it runs for at least 6 months...because I don't want to do this again any time soon.

[Racerx300zx]

Hmm, no, dye my hair cyan,

[narfdanarf]

likeomghi2uleanne, someone please totally buy me a 1337 escort.

[Racerx300zx]

Hmm, didn't quite understand the random typing, but, it runs, gets me to a and b, so I can quite reccomend an escort, sadly, I don't think they made cars in the 1300's, :twisted:

[RallyEX]

A running escort is better than a busted talon any day...

[jchouse]

well I got home ok, from under 2K it would miss every now and then and would knock at a couple rpm points but hopefully that was from the top end being out of spec.

[narfdanarf]

so then what's the plan?

[jchouse]

I'm looking in to getting a 2nd car/winter beater

"cough" b-series "cough"
