Nate & Ya-did you guys make it up there last night??? I went for a little drive untile the traffic just drove me nuts.

I'm into going for another drive tonight. Anyone else????

Ilan

Uber caff---where is that quote from???? Ahh its so easy to talk s*** when no one is standing in front of you.
 
Roy just started talking to me on AIM. And like the internet is a much more available means of communication in terms to actual face to face conversation although, I will always say something in IRL, I'm just lazy
 
I _MIGHT_ be down for a drive tonight, but it depends on what my g/f wants to do so I dunno. I'm gonna go check out the WRX and probally buy it in an hour or so.
 
Congratulations Jimmy!!

Post when you get home and maybe we can meet up tonight for a mini-run. (rockon)(headbang)
 
Yo guys. Congrats Jimmy.

Roy I got your struts. They are here.

So what's next for your car Jimmy.

Peace, Rishie
 
My mechanic doesn't even know what exactly happened. But we came to the conclusion that it'd be cheaper to get a new engine than to rebuild this one.

So I am getting a rebuilt JDM engine with about 30k miles on it.

I love my mechanic. He's already taken the old engine out, waiting on delivery of the new one.

Will have my baby back on Monday.
 
That sucks about the car Ya! I can't believe it just crapped out on you like that. Hopefully you'll be loving the JDM spec engine though. Hope your cruising again soon.
 
So, did Jimmy get his car? I'm still down to hang out tonight, but it would be killer if there was at least a few of us...(dunno)
 
I have the car, it's sitting in my driveway. I'm down for something maybe during the week sometime or something, I dont want to flog it in the Mountains JUST yet.

I'm cool off power mods for now, or well, until I get beat by a civic. I am looking for some wheels right now after I get the registration and all that other s*** dealt with so I know how much money I have to play with, but I am accepting donations.

No, actually I was cruising down the freeway and I hear a loud bang and then the engine started jerking and stalled. I rolled to the side, popped the hood, scratched my neck. I checked my fluids, checked for leaks... Fired her back up and she was clacking and grinding like no tomorow. I limped her home. The good ole lifter noise was still there, but now there was also loud slapping of metal against metal and lots of crunching and whining from the engine.

We won't know for sure till the mechanic tears the thing apart and takes a closer look. He took the valve cover off and all the valves along with their buckets seemed fine, so :confused:

Whatever it was, it managed to crack the valve cover :eek: ,but at the same time I was able to drive home (which probably finished off the engine.)
