Engine My car has no go anymore

haha yea. oh well. my dad said he would pay for teh engine so i think ill go with the 2zz or if i find sumthin else tht will fit. who knows.

dont you have full coverage? and you dont seem mad at all that your engine and wheels got stolen..

shit, when my SI got stolen, i snapped at everybody at school..got into 2 fights, and suspended for a week..

My car has no go anymore

well today my cars engine and wheels were stolen. apparently someone likes the VVT-I so much they wanted to steal mine, but i dont know what their gonna do with stock wheels. this bites. anybody know of a better engine that will fit in the 03 rolla's. i thought about turning it into a sleeper.

2zz-ge engine. celica gts jdm.
itll make ur car just like a XRS corolla

where was the car when the shit got stole?

the sad part..my driveway. my parents went out of town yesterday and i was alseep all mornin. i didnt wake up till like two and i went outside so i could go get a pack of ciggs and my car was just there with no wheels and the hood popped up. grrrr i hate having the back room of the house and bein use to workin 8pm-3am

and how much is the 2zz

Damn that sucks, I didn't think Collierville was that crime ridden.

me either. i guess it was someone i pissed off. i wish my car was still under warranty. hhe ive had it for 2 years and already put 47k on it. oh well at least ill get a new engine to tinker with

put an alarm on it this time w/ pain generator. hehe. The next bitch that tries to steal will go home deaf, permanantly.

y did u sell your si?

who thinks, "yeah, i'll go get my cherry picker and rip out an engine...oh yeah, while i'm at it, i'll take the stock wheels...and put the car on what, the ground?"

maybe the engine got sick of being beat on and jumped out of the car... just like the ones in the penzoil commercial.

his dad willing to replace engine for free = insurance

if his dad finds out he set the whole thing up, his dad can't take him to jail and fine him thousands of dollars...and insurance company can and will

well im not in school anymore. ill be gone for 12 weeks Oct 5th for basic training and i dont presently have insurance at this time. didnt see a point in payin for a full 6 month lease when id only be usin 3 months. i am pissed but i mean shit happens ya know. plus i kinda ragged the engine a lil bit the other night so they gonna have to do the engine work i was gonna do.

How the freakin heck does nobody see that or hear that? How the freakin heck does someone actually steal the engine!?

yea no kidding... it took me 3 hours just to put in a damn motor mount insert.... how could they have possibly gotton the engine out that quickly and without someone see or hearing them

lol...exactly what I was thinking. Who just walks up to a car and says &quot;wow, I bet this car has a nice engine...I think I'll take it!&quot;. Sounds like somebody didn't want anybody to know they messed up their engine so they had it &quot;stolen&quot; so they could get a new one for free...I'm not tryin to be rude or anything but this whole story sounds a little suspicious to me... <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Confused" />

On your original post you said it was "Illegal" for him to not have insurance, and that is what you based your argument that is people like him that make insurance so costly for others, when in fact it is not illegal for him to drive his car withouth insurance in TN. It is highly recommended, and you have to prove that you have a way to pay if you get sued, but it is not illegal for him to drive his car withouth insurance.

Actually it is insurance fraud and high risk drivers that contributes to our insurance costs being so high, more so than someone withouth insurance.

If he said he got into an accident multiple times, and/or participated in insurance fraud then your statement would be accurate.

Cool! Just wanted to make that clear. I also live in a high insurance state which is NY, and in the highest city in NY which is NYC! Of course it sucks worse if you live in NJ! Anyway, this thread has gotten off topic, so yeah it would be nice to see pics of the car on the floor withouth wheels and an engine!

Don't jump on him so fast for not having insurance. TN is one of a few states like NH that do not require you to have car insurance in order to register the car or drive it. Here is a site with the info:

And even though it is weird that they stole only his engine and not the car, if it did happen then it is funny as hell! Sorry could not help myself!

Once I had my car stolen and it was returned 7 days later to the same place in front of my house. It was actually washed and waxed on top of that! Even though they broke the cylinder lock to steal it, It was more of a shock to see it back than to see it missing. People still don't believe me, but it is true.

engines get jacked all the time...but its usually hondas. If you know what your doing it doesnt take that long to do it. U can cut all the hoses and drop the engine on two skateboards and roll it out. The hardest part would be getting the engine out of its mounts which wouldnt take longer than 2hrs (if your experienced).

VORTEX STOLE MY ENGINE YOU BASTARD!!!!! just kiddin.yea well when i went outside i just htought sumone had jacekd my wheels or sumthin but then i got down and looked at where the tires should be and noticed tht the cars balance was off so i looked under the hood and wut was supposed to be there wasnt nemore. i was just like WTF. and plus when i got my ticket my parents took my car away so i all i could do was mod. i had a cold air intake luckily i hadnt ordered my supercharger
