I'm just glad you started your build. Although, i'm not a BigBlock guy, it's a good and most importantly a fun build. Everything happens for a reason.

ill be more glad when my build is running...i wont say "done" since we all know theres no such thing as "done"

and true...maybe my car just wanted a different engine, so it made me hate the 2v enough to swap it out who knows lol...

i lucked out on the rest of my car though... no interior rattles, not one spot of rust anywhere, drives as straight as an arrow....overall i love my car

and even when it had a 2v i loved my car...even with the problems


to the OP, problems aside....if i could go back in time i would have still bought my car...wouldnt have lookd for a different one, im happy with the one i got...if you get a sn95 you wont regret it, theyre good cars...not the fastest, and in my case not the most reliable....but according to most people here, i had unusual circumstances behind mine sucking

pretty damn reliable IMO we had a ' how hard do you drive your car" thread a while back and most everyone said they see redline daily. and if you look very rairely are they broken down, and yea some get lemons like 99 but for the most part, these motors are pretty stout

it's hard to break these cars for the most part... and if you do, you can easily find the part you're looking for unlike some of those crazy german and japanese cars (past experiences)
