Yeah, so this is going to be a longer hold that first thought. I found out my car has a rod knock somewhere, so it is getting put down soon
. I can't afford a rebuild, and I get to do some wonderful negotiating in order to try and get another car. I still want to get the super-mpguino set up for the Prelude I have, but I won't really be able to sit down and work on it till I get the car situation taken care of. It's wonderfully frustrating and irritating.
On a side note, it's really hard to keep a 4 speed automatic with a slipping transmission below 4k RPM when going up a steep hill. Low RPMs will hopefully help the car last long enough for me to get another. I don't want to seize this one, but I can't stop driving it either. Vicious cycle!
