Re: Daily driver....Not my choice but its a great rush!
Ya that was my tr7 I have a photo of it on the ice pack. But I gotta get it. I may havew to put the v8 in it. thought something on the exhaust was ratteling... was verry wrong. Raced a late 90s civic and she got hot fast and noise is turned into a verry bad rod! I did win twice before that. just to let you know. bearings or engine monday. I have a short block layin around im sure.

Re: Daily driver....Not my choice but its a great rush!
No nope not ok at all. threw the rod on the way to the shop. I could feel it loosening up and was just praying to make it to the shop so i could pull the motor. Its getting another 4 cylinder for now but going to the junk yard and pulling some temporary parts. I just cant do it men the tr7 is a sports car and deserves to be driven like one. Photos when my friend gets his Nikon back. this summer will consist of a stock trans with 5th, a temporary 3.9 (the 4.6 will go to the engine shop soon for liners) A lincoln mark 7 rear suspension and diff. dent removal and duraglass for the Ugly/right hand fender, and a paint job. good news is she should be painted by the end ot next month and be sporting the better 5 speed.

Re: Daily driver....Not my choice but its a great rush!
If your switching to the five speed, you will need the five speed driveshaft, and rear end as well. You will also need the five speed flywheel, bell housing, and clutch to make it all work. Unless you have a complete driveline laying around, it seems like alot of work for a temporary fix.
