Reality Check!
 
Ok, so im gonna say it like it is. two years age i bought a engine for some 40 year old dudes for short money. $300, came d16a6 bored over .20 11.1 comp balanced and blueprinted m yada, yada, ya. i thought i could do what i always wanted and rebuild it to back where they had it, this engine was in a crx and pulling high 13's. thats not bad for a d16a6. well ive been going back and forth with this project for two years now and still havent gottin it running. $5000 and nothing. It sucks. Being married, house, dog, cat and being a Executive chef doesnt leave much time to work on it. im the laughing stock of my family and friends...........But ill tell you what ....Nothing beats going in to my garage and turning on the lights and radio and going to town on my poor crx and the little engine that could. Anyway i thought id vent cuz it sucks. Seacrest out!!!!
