lol, my car sux!
 

ok, so i broke some ringlands a few weeks ago, no biggie, replaced them with a couple stock used pistons, ran great for a few days, pulled hard as hell! then my head gasket starts leaking about a week or so ago (re used hg and head bolts :-X ), ok, no biggie, swap it out with a new one and some arp's wednesday night. alright, car should be good now, can't wait to rip on it. go rip on it for a bit, come home, smoke out of the breather again ::) (and for you want to talk ----, no, it's not the tune, i have a PERFECT 11.6:1 afr in boost, and i'm only running 14° timing at 12 psi, that's about as conservative as it gets!). alright, so ---- it, i can still run some 12's with broken ringlands, i've done it before, i'll do it again, right? so, on my way home from work, my oil pressure gauge is leaking, from INSIDE the car! now i have a puddle of oil on my floor board, shoes and pant legs covered in oil and my foots slipping off the clutch, i'm over it, i just keep driving home (from work). next up, my wb starts reading lean, but the car's running perfect, so i ASSume my dp has cracked (again) b/c my exhaust note had changed quite a bit also, well, i'm almost home, no biggie. about a mile from my house, the exhaust breaks completely off and is dragging on the ground, i just keep going, i'm pissed by now. take a turn, the exhaust swings out to the side, i run it over while turning, and now it's dragging sticking out the side of my car ::) pull in my drive way and it rips completely off, including my wideband that was attached. lol, how much ---- can go wrong in an hour ??? it's cool, i don't give a ----. i'm ripping the motor out, building my b18 block and not putting the car back on the road until it's ------- done and done right. i kept trying to rush things to get out to the track and get that timeslip every week, and look where it got me, i've learned my lesson and the next time that car's on the road, it'll be making well over 400whp (hopefully no longer than a month). that's my rant, and spenser, i look forward to your thoughts on this series of events :)

---- NO!!!!! it's time to build the block and turn the boost up, never turn the boost down, just accomadate for more boost you ----- ;) i don't know if it will be sleeved or not, or even turbo, maybe motor, maybe spraying, everyone we'll find out when it's done :)
