how can you raise the horse power in the automatics? oh ya if any one lives in ontario, Canada theres an awesome store in Cobourg ( streetbling.ca ) they have a drifter style body kit and a Hiro style lip kit both around $500.00 the kits are for the 92 -96 ludes. they also have a couple upgrades for under the hood. if interested you should check it out. i think im getting the drifter kit, hopefully by mid summer. theres also ( extremeparts.ca ) in toronto and dont forget about the ( torontojdm.com ) its full of lots of cool stuff. just thought id let people know and if your lookin for a motor or trans. ( japanautoparts.com) is the place to go. all motors and trans have less than 50 000km. shipped in from japan
#55 of 60 timing belt by thatguy3 Aug 20, 2009 (12:53 pm)
my timing belt broke while i was driving 100 km/hr. there was no bang or noise's. the car went dead and i pulled off the road. my mech. tells me thats the motor is garbage, with out even checking the inside or changing the timing belt. i've asked a lot of peoples opinions on this and they all tell me that the valves will be broke no matter what. any info on this topic would be helpful. do you think my motor is ruined on a scale of 1 to 10 thanks Replies to this message: shmang (Aug 21, 2009 10:40 am)

Replying to: thatguy3 (Aug 20, 2009 12:53 pm) Most probably, you have several bent valves, and a few rods. Since the engine has 16 valves and if 2-3 are damaged, you are looking at a bill of $1200 - 2000 (if you are lucky and no rod is bent).   When the belt broke, were you coasting or driving? What was the RPM at the time - about 3000 - 3200 rpm? Then I would say it probably cost you the same to get a replacement low mileage motor and installed (Make sure to have the belt, tensioner and water pump replaced before installation).
