well, I did it already!!!!
 
i blew an apex seal in my rx7 yesterday on my way home from school......its sucks! i only got to drive the car for 2 days. now i dont have a choice but to fix my hatch, and then pull the engine in the rx7 and rebuild it. but on the brite side of things, now i can street or bridge port it an make some good horsepower...........oh well. thought id share since its the first motor i have toasted since ive been driving cars lol! >:D

ems? im still new and still reading and i dont know what that means lol....

and i was driving casually coming up to a light doing about 40 got on the brakes because the people in front of me were stopped and started rolling, i was in fifth, went down to 4th, then down to third, coasted a bit, got back into throttle slowly, got some momentum going and pop!!!! goodbye all power :3

i got the hatch back up and going but im also putting an exhaust on to quite the bitch down. gotta finish it tomorrow. running out of time before work.

but the rx7 runs on one rotor :P i had to drive it about a half mile to get home. sounds like a damn lawn mower :S
