    Gas mileage and not having to spend money on another rebuild sound like good excuses to me...just tell her the exhaust is broken and that is how much the new stuff costs.

    True true, wish I could just get the car back for myself. It would be nice to recoup something from the divorce

    Why do you want to build up the car for an ex anyway? Just fix it back to running condition. If it happens again, let her on her own.

    It sounds F'd up but i told her I'd fix it for her if she paid for parts. When we going through everything I bought her a car so she had something. The car didn't even make it til the final divorce date. I'm not building it in my eyes,just making it reliable again.

    Anyone got some L67 pistons they'd part with? Please

    I have two, if that helps.

    Does Ed Morad have any pistons?

    Well, I do have a set of 6 TRW pistons that you can put on your old rods in my FS thread.

    I'm waiting on a response from Morad,last time I checked they had a 150kmile block but no pistons/rods. Are those TRW's a direct fit? You said they are for a GN?
    I have my ex convinced I can make the car reliable,so she'll keep it now. So, I'm seriously looking guys.

    Yeah, they are a direct fit. GN is still a 3.8, so same bore. Just compression will be a little less, I think. But a cheaper way out if you want.

    If I were in your shoes, I would just stick with the ones from Ed though.

    USED to...pretty sure he stopped yanking sh!t apart and just selling stuff as a whole now that he really has moved on to bigger and better things.
