Awesome. Thanks so much

awesome car...should be a beast once running again, GL on the sale

 

B-E-A-Utiful IX! My favorite color on the IX's. Sorry to hear about the motor. It looks that you have put alot of time and money into it. GL with the sale.

 

yeah curious to see how much to get it fixed

 

Thanks guys. Well I just got back from a weekend in California and unfortunately there are no quotes in my email. I will do a follow up call today.

 

Any word yet on how much a rebuild would cost?

 

Unfortunately no. The shop in Arizona that found the problem hasn't gotten back to me and the one in San Diego doesn't want to give a quote unless he sees it.

 

Open to offers ?

 

nice evo!!!

 

Can anybody here with previous experience/knowledge give a general rough estimate? Like a few hudnred? A few Thousand? etc etc

 

Sorry, not at this time. It actually will most likely be sold this week.

 

It will be more like a few thousand parts and labor. The pistons are $600+ and then you need rings, a gasket kit, and labor on top of that.

 

that's a nice looking car.


not sure if you already addressed it but why won't the original installer not honor their workmanship and fix it for you? hope i'm not hitting a sore point here...

it's such a shame as you have a great looking car....

 

Thanks man. It's not the fault of the original installer, but the tuner. Unfortunately the tune did not come from a huge shop, but from a friend. It's water under the bridge though.

 

Here's a picture that someone on another forum took of it from SEMA:
