im sad.... old girl overheated on the way home and fucked my engine up.... hard knocking noise.. im sure my engine is blown..... just got it rebuilt a few months back... fuckin water pump!!!! and radiator!!!! 3k down the drain....
Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. What a PITA, after all that work you did. I guess LA is a pretty likely place to have overheating problems, though.

Not with the 'great' weather we've been having recently. Its been more like Seattle than LA... (ok, the last few days have been sunny and mild though!)

just get it drivable. your car according to epa qualifies for cash for clunkers. get 3,500 or 4500 toward a new car.
my 90, however, is not. go figure. epa says i get 19 combined. ugh.
hmmm icic sounds like a plan but i dont know if i want to spend more money on it... if i do ifx it i porbably wont even sell it or give it in to epa.... end up driving it again haha

yeah it is a pita..... yup cali weather is damn retarded hot in the day cold at night... just let me have your v6 engine and 5spd tranny!!!! ahha
was ur camry stock 5spd or you swapped it?? any idea where i can find a 5 speed tranny??? all i know is that its a e152 or somthing like that
E52 tranny is what you're after. I say grab another motor and build it while it's out the car. Now's a great time to learn so you don't have to pay others to do your work.
