lol..thanks for teh offer but i was just never a big fan of the 240sx....however, if u can convince jan to trade you his car for yours, then i'll trade you his ( now urs) for mines? lol..yes it's complicated...
well this is my situation. I want to sell my car so i can get another car. If i have the space for 3 cars..i wouldn't even sell the starlet. if i can't sell it by the time the smog thing is over which will be done at the end of march, then i'mjsut gonna keep it and hopefully it does break down by the end of this school year so i have teh summer to work on it. rigyth now, besides teh transmission, it's a perfectly fine car! I LOVE the fact that it has a heater on these cold morning drives to school! But until it( transmission) breaks, i'm sill gonan drive it..it's a fun car!

well, i finally got the heater core inlet pipe to stop leaking (hondabond is tits) but i have another leak at the back of the water pump (to the block) that seams to be coming from the top right corner, must not have tightened that bolt enough. so i am going to try taking off the covers without removing any thing else and torque the pump down, if that doesn't work, i'll have to remove the pump, wait for it to dry and use hondabond again. this is not working out the way i wanted to by a mile...

IT'S ALIVE!!!
well, i removed the water pump again today and resealed the pump with hondabond... filler er up with coolant and ran til the fans came on. so far no leaks. although when i first fired her up, there was really loud valve tappet noise and a squealing sound coming from the engine. after about 30 minutes and the engine warmed up, the noises went away. so i figured it was from the car just sitting dry for almost 3 weeks.
