So i have a 2005 coupe with the 6sp manual and but also the rev up, i started to notice the oil consumtion was getting really bad, like up to 2 quarts in 500-1000 miles with no leaks or smoke. but then i was crusin the other day then parked for a few and when i started it back up and started driving it would get this really loud like clanking noise coming from the engine and just got worse and worse till eventually even at idle everything sounds completely Fuct up... so im thinking of starting a build now but am not sure where to start, i was thinkin a local shop and just going stroker but i would like to just find a stroker motor that is complete and drop it in, anyone have any idea where to look?

 

v8?

 

no they sell stroker kits for the v6, unless i could easily drop in the titan mortor as i saw in some magazine but i would imagine that is expensive as heck. but im thinkin just gonna find a stock motor because mine through a rod now so im completely screwed.

 

Do you still have a powertrain warranty? or is the car over 70k miles.

 

well it has less than 70k but the a$$ hole that sold it to me failed to mention it had a salvaged title so i had a rude awakening when i went to the dealership..

 

Wow, you got f-ed.... Why didn't you run a VIN check before you bought it?

 

because i was a stupid kid that just wanted the car now and because the guy brought a 100% clean title to the bank and played it off as clean! its such BS!

 

Ouch , that sucks! I admire your honesty though, always good to just man up and admit when you have made a mistake.

 

Ya thanks but now im stuck with a blown up car with a salvaged title but as far as i know its illegal to sell a vehicle with a salvaged title without stating it or having the title stamped so maybe i can get somethin outta the guy that ripped me off... who knows
