First off, no its not an impound lot. lol. That was at the shop were it was sitting.

The car is pretty stock except the exhaust. The previous owner was running an aftermarket BC on it and thats about it.

My plans are to figure out what happened to the motor. So ya, it dont run. lol. The previous owner said that the balance shaft belt went out on it and when they tried to turn it over by hand that it wouldn't go. So he said the piston might have slapped the head. But the timing belt is tight. There is a groove on the timing belt on the very inside edge of it. So i am gonna tear down the front of the engine and see if i can find something that might be jamming it up.

Well torn into the car today. The timing belt had teeth stripped off it. So bent valves. Great. So now i am looking for a new head. Or maybe a Cyclone motor. Not sure yet.

JDM engines are dumb, they don't do anything special except make you poorer because you pay more for them. Find a running engine locally and put it in and you'll be good to go.
