a used red evo is like a used tampon. its red and there's a reason why the previous owner doesn't want it.

did you know it was totaled before you bought it. take the guy that didnt disclose that to you to court, and then take the people that "fixed" it to court. you are handeling this extremely better than i would be.

What happened when the motor seized up? I've always been curious what would happen since with a stick the driveline is all connected...

Cant really describe the noise... it was like all the internals started grinding..

I knew what it was right when it happened since my first car ( a honda ) did the same thing. (I have great luck with cars)

It was to late though once it happened to save it.

Tried filling it up with 4qts of oil today, jump starting it and push starting it...

NO DICE

I'm guessing your car was the infamous "most dirty evo" owned by a girl, correct?

Maybe the shop didnt fill you up with Mobil 1. Maybe they used regular oil?
Did you buy the car new? Did you have any mods.

I bought my Rally Red from a 56 year old guy. Its an 03, and when I got it, only had 996 miles. Mint condition. Love the red.

Yea it was owned by some chick who destroyed the car. Gotta love people who appreciate things.


Of course I found all this out AFTER I bought the car. (The CarFax report was clean when I got it)

I'll post some pics of the G35 when I get it... I'm going for a sedan to cut down on monthly insurance costs.

I love the car, most fun i've ever had. It's just time to get a "regular" non high maintence car that I don't get addicted to modifying haha.

Yea I like the G35, its a nice comfortable car. I'm going with a black 2005 Sedan, with every option available.
you didnt know it was totalled when you first bought it? ouch.
