So what's the tally$$$ at now?

I ordered a bunch of extra parts (all belts, gaskets, O2 sensor, filters), maybe $150 for that stuff. I haven't paid for the title or registration yet, so maybe another $100. It will be running and driving for under $1000, I figger.

Wanna buy TRACKER next? Needs radiator, water pump, and rear brakes/lines. Fronts work, rears are welded shut.

I imagine it is a northern rust bucket. Nothx.
Summit is rust free. Body is actually really nice.

It is indeed a rust bucket. I attempted to repair it by starting with the thermostat, at the top of the engine. Even those bolts snapped their heads off with minimal effort. So I said fuckit to the bucket.

Is it a Chevy Tracker or a GEO tracker? Because the Geo goes better with the Eagle. If only the Max was a D50...

As much as I like fake brands, Mighty Max is a way better name.

Dump in some Z-max, STP, and Marvel Mystery Oil. Something good is bound to happen.

Toss in a bottle of Transmedic for good measure. And maybe some belt dressing. Or salad dressing.

I actually don't use salad dressing as many people understand it. I use cottage cheese. I have mixed leafy greens with cottage cheese for lunch almost every day.

Oh, speaking of Transmedic... screw that. I'll do a fluid and filter change. It will either be fine, or clog up and fail.

Dammit. The need to be rolling around in Summit's engine.

Fluid and filter change is what killed the transmission in my Monte Carlo.

It's a crap shoot, but so was this whole car.
The current fluid isnt horrible, so I think it'll be good.

I need to order something from Summit Racing so I can get a Summit Racing sticker. But I dont think Summit Racing sells much for Summits.

Eye of the Tiger · October 23, 2015, 06:53:40 PM

You no its the best when it IROC engine barrings.

No, that's the Monza.

omg so hot

Eye of the Tiger · October 23, 2015, 08:39:01 PM

110 hp from a 4.3 liter V8.
That beats the 1.5 liter Summit by almost 20 hp!

The Monza was a 70s car (or 60s car if you're talking about the Corvair Monza).

At least it was a car, unlike the Camero.

Snapped a rod bolt. FML.

Yeah, so... uh. Summit is om the back burner. Or maybe in the compost bin. If it sits long enough, it might turn into a racecar.

If you have enough liquid cash, finding a Mazda 5 or Mazda 3 with a bad engine isn't that hard to do. I find at least three a week
