Message	Just as i was about to get a custom exhaust built for my 93 na 2+2 i began hearing a disturbing noise comming from under the hood. it started with some moderate "tapping" at 2-3k rpm and over the course of 3 days its gotten way worse. i took it to 3 places to get some opinions and they all say that its a rod. Now im getting a used motor swaped for my dead one. I think i got a pretty good deal from my dads friend: 70k mile engine installed for $1800 The closest that i could find to that was $3800 In the course of a year ive driven the car 20k miles (now it has 86k on the car) and have had to fix the following New alternator New battery New water pump and now.. Used engine Custom exhaust (tore a big hole in stock) Sorry guys, just had to vent.... This is what i get for wanting a sports car while going to college :(
