After replacing all the gaskets and o rings that are any where near the
water pump including all the hoses, i finally found a terrifying site
today. The whole corner of the block by the water pump has a nice hairline
crack almost all the way around it. I have been tracking this AF leak for
ever and never would have considered that the block would cracked expecially
since i had it magnifluxed not too long ago. Guess I was wrong. Ill post
pics when the camera is charged, it looks pretty. Its a good thing i have
about 3 of every part on the car laying in my basement(well, i guess make
that just 2 blocks now).

Thursday morning when I headed back to Nashville, I just got fed up with it.
Everything that could have gone wrong did .. dead battery, remote starter kill
wouldn't work (the security system fried) so I couldn't start my car
without taking
a screwdriver to the starter ... in the pouring down rain .. not a safe or
fun thing
to do. My drivers side seat was soaked because of a leaky t-top. Then I
hydroplaned
all over the damned interstate scaring the holy crap out of me. Wreck on the
interstate caused stop-and-go traffic for 30 minutes .. stalled the car out
.. had
to bump the starter over with a screwdriver AGAIN .. in the middle of
interstate traffic ...
in the rain. Finally got home and spent an hour ripping out the security
system so
I could get to work ... 4 hours late.
It was a BAD morning to say the least. LOL
So yeah, if I can get a decent offer on the MR2, I'll sell it and use that
as a down payment
on an Audi TT or A4, Honda S2000, M Benz SLK230, or something like that.
I want something newer with a warranty so I can concentrate on more
important things
in my life than spending 24/7 on the MR2. I love the car .. that will
never change, but I need
to work on the house and possibly get ready for an out-of-state move.
That also means the '88 Celica All-Trac and all the miscellaneous pieces
parts that I have
will be up for grabs (3sgte parts, stock MR2 parts, and the 3000GT V6 engine)
