Oh yes she runs like a dream now. But she did before as well! Right up until "the sound" started in the great engine failure of September 2014 as it shall be known

$6000 total. Ouch! Has inspired me to spend done more money on her. Planning 1) Full respray & decal removal 2) 2" Lift 3) 3" Exhaust 4) Darkest Legal Tint 5) Led tail & indicator lights 6) Stereo upgrade 7) New front seats Got some work to do! :)

Yeah in Australia and done in about 2 weeks. $4500 $5500 $3000 Nope - MORE!!

So I dropped it off at my mechanic and it was the big end bearings. Number 2 in particular had just about disintegrated! Caused pistons to hit the valves & now I'm hoping there is no damage to the pistons. Mechanic said they have to take the motor out - regrind the crankshaft, machine the head...

acls?
