    FUCK no dont give up. Yeah it sucks, but such is the life of modding a car. Do you know for a fact the valves are bent. slide the timing belt back on and crank it up, if you werent at high rpms you might be ok.

    At least in honda world you would be ok. dont know much about supra engines. ill donate $10 to you, whats your paypal?

    Well Chris... you have to ask yourself a simple question..

    Is it the car's fault, or the Mechanic's fault?

    If its the car's fault, GET RID OF IT.

    If its the mechanic's fault.. GET A NEW MECHANIC!


    Just playin with ya man, but serriously, just get some new valves, we'll spend a night puttin them in, i'll buy the beer, you buy the Pizza.

    You have come this far. I think if you got rid of it, you would regret it.


    The other alternative is to sell it and dump that money into your Firebird.

    After all you have done to the motor, getting it repainted, and just the love for the car would make you regret it. You know how happy that car makes you, Just step back, get it fixed and you will love it again, Youd regret it, TRUST ME

    Are you joking! Man I have had more problems with my car than you have had with yours. I mean, I had a problem 30 minutes after I bought it and I still have not given up on my car. After one week of driving my car since the new setup the trans pump went out on me. The thought of selling my car has never crossed my mind (even when I had to get it towed that night) and it should not cross yours. Just remember, you are building a high performance/race car and things are gonna end up breaking and that just the way it is. Just take your time dont rush, who cares if its not out this weekend. The main thing is that its running right. And you are not gonna deny me the race that is planned when both cars are running again! If you ever need any help with your car or just an extra hand, give me a shout.

    well dont know how long youve had the car or your situation but if you give up on it now then what have you accomplished?? ive heard about your car on and off since i joined so it sounds like youve been working on it for some time now. i say keep working on it. with a project car youll most always come to some point when you think selling it would just be easier. keep it and enjoy the money you put in it rather than losing some just to get it outta your hair. oh and while you guys a donating money throw some my way so i can get mine running also.
