i saw one tonight for fun. it was pretty quick had 180k ran great and the trans shifted very smoothly. he ragged it out showing it to me though sounded very good as most 5.0's do..

i asked him if i burned oil he said yeah it does a quart every oil change.. then he said all 5.0's do that though and with the xpipes it makes it burn more..

sounds stupid

11/4/2005 12:10:33 AM

you sold your car already or he is interested in trading you? cause when I talked to him he seemed to need the cash pretty bad.

11/4/2005 12:13:43 AM

i am still looking for the question

11/4/2005 12:14:41 AM

no i sold the 240 already. it seems like a fun car just i dunno with 180k miles and the way that he drives it.

11/4/2005 12:21:32 AM

the ? is about all 5.0's burning oil or not.

11/4/2005 12:21:53 AM

No, all 5.0's don't burn oil. Just the ones with worn rings or valve guides or bad valve guide seals or crudded up PCV valves.

11/4/2005 12:23:44 AM

i knew the guy was bullshitting. lol he was like this too "watch me rev up the car and look at the exhaust" it puffed out some oil.. blue smoke waahhahaah

11/4/2005 12:34:14 AM

huh?

11/4/2005 12:36:23 AM

jesus this kid is getting worse every day.

step away from the mustang and get back in the celica please

11/4/2005 12:37:51 AM

i just went to take the thing on a joyride chill, im keepin the celica for a while, and if i get another car im stickin to a toyota

11/4/2005 12:53:10 AM

^ Mark III supra. Just get one that's in much better shape than mine... at least the body anyway. My motor is fine.

11/4/2005 1:07:06 AM

1 quart every 3000 miles is not bad on a 5.0 some burn alot of oil some burn alitlle some none at all...alot of times it is a poor PVC system sucking oil in throgh the intake, seen that plenty of times.But an X-pipe will do nothing to change the oil consumption

11/4/2005 6:48:05 AM

wait a minute? You sold your Turbo 240SX for a Celica?!? And now you're thinking about a mid 80s 5.0?!?!?

WTF


BOO THIS MAN

11/4/2005 8:01:33 AM

You sold that 240 I read about a couple weeks ago you bought? uM, wtf?

yeah, no kidding. my granddad has a mid-80s Chrysler Fifth Avenue he'd probably sell you whenever you get tired of the mid-80s 5.0.

11/4/2005 8:04:21 AM

glad to see your moving to real power insted of that sorry excuse of a rear wheel drive car(240) 4 eyes cars are awsome. the x pipe will not make it burn more oil just make it pop and crack cause of the no cats thing

11/4/2005 9:26:45 AM

yeah '86's can be nice...4eye headlights, fuel injection, i think they had the good ole 8.8 too

stick the quarter windows from a newer fox body in there and they look sweet

11/4/2005 10:12:22 AM

^ yep and cut the springs about 5 coils for a gangster stance. car cant handle anyway

11/4/2005 10:14:07 AM

no i wasnt thinking of buying it, i just was curious about what 5.0's drive like.

sold the 240 bc it was getting worse and worse every day.

11/4/2005 11:11:17 AM

Don't waste someone's time and money by taking cars that you have no intention of purchasing for a joyride.

Haha, one of the big RWD models with the 318? That would actually make a badass sleeper with a built 360 or 383 and no exterior mods whatsoever...

(yes, I have odd taste in cars )

'tis a very good car

his was especially with the turbo setup that was in it

until he overboosted it

parts for 5.0s are a dime adozen, so performance is cheap with them, just take a look at summit or jegs, you could run low 11's for les than $5k

11/4/2005 11:48:36 AM

well i was interested in the 5.0 and i was thinking about getting one.. and i was always curious about what they ran like it so it wasnt really a joyride i didnt gun it the guy when he drove me around in it gunned it, i dont rag out other ppl's vehicles.

nope i didnt over boost the 240 it stayed at 5psi the whole time. the tranny was rattling on it, it wasnt starting, it was puffing a bunch of oil on starts, along with other misc. things, so i decided it was time to sell.

yep, 318 with a 1bbl carb. 160hp, i think. BY FAR the worst handling car i've ever driven. worse than a chevy caprice, easily. worse than my old '71 cutlass. way worse than anything else i've ever driven.

yes, for the 2 weeks you had it. lol

Here's what his track record is:
bought 97 600 GSXR
Jetted and body work on GSXR
Traded GSXR for 91 240sx ka Turbo
Sold 240sx ka Turbo 2 weeks later

I think it was kinda stupid to trade the bike for the 240 then sell it 2 weeks later. You could have gotten more money with the bike. Expecially with all the money you invested in it (dumped actually).

11/4/2005 5:36:11 PM

even though i decided i probably wont get rid of the bonneville just yet, I would definitely trade guy for that 4 eyed vert, they have been really growing on me lately. gas would be a bitch, but even now i am maxing out at 21mpg.

anyhow, he dosent seem to interested in my trade offer. too bad.

11/4/2005 9:01:02 PM

sell ur bonne for 3800, buy the stang. he called me back about it tonight. the whole using oil issue kinda sucks dick. i kinda like it other than that though

11/4/2005 9:12:33 PM

^^^oh please, don't make us start in on you.

11/4/2005 9:18:50 PM

yeah jbaz dont be hatin that i can make that money to waste



[Edited on November 4, 2005 at 10:08 PM. Reason : how does jbaz spell especially? lol]

11/4/2005 10:07:41 PM

jbaz is a bitch

11/4/2005 11:10:43 PM

i prefer saving money and investing it in something practical, but you def waste money.

11/5/2005 2:49:15 PM

^this coming from someone who payed a ridiculous amount for an old f3?

11/5/2005 2:57:37 PM

no not all 5.0s burn oil most of the 347 or higher stroked ones do because the wrist pin goes through a ring

11/5/2005 3:02:42 PM

most of the stroker kits from the past year have moved the wrist pin below the oil control ring

11/6/2005 5:10:20 PM

well, the car in question is a 180k original mile 5.0

11/6/2005 6:14:39 PM

yeah i mean... its worn out but i've seen mustangs run forever burning a quart of oil per oil change

11/6/2005 6:43:44 PM

The stang isnt new.. but it does have nearly 20years and 180k on the original parts.. then 1 quart ever 3000 miles isnt really that bad... its just broken in and real real hungry.
