In rehab you start out by stating your name & your addiction

Hello, my name is J.J. and I own a 2009 CUP260 GT4…

One of 12 built globally…the Saudis and now the Americans (based on the Saudi registration) gave me plates to drive it on the streets! What a hoot! :smiley:

On Good Friday, I took it out…to air it out on the highway…and now one of the connecting rods is playing peek-a-boo with me out the side of the block! Took the tray off the bottom of the car and found pieces of aluminum that looked like engine block and one that looked like piston skirt and a steel piece that looked like connecting rod… :blush: The real disappointment is that the car only has 16052-km on the clock…

I’ll listen to any and all suggestions…because I’m already going through withdrawals not being able to drive it!

It’s just a Toyota celica engine …
source a low miles second hand motor and swap it …
here in the uk a motor can be had for a few hundred quid …
Welcome by the way

On this side of the pond, a JDM engine goes for about $2,000.00 US… not too bad… but since the engine has to be out anyway, I’d like to cure the oil pump weakness and valve stem fragility, put in Cosworth pistons, port the head… It’s an addiction…
