against all odds.... I still could not make the car go forward by running in the engine bay.


Aww what a learning experience it is to pull your own motor.




no motor means massive wheel gap haha

Didn't you see the picture?! It is technically ON THE ROAD

Haha.

I am overly psyched for it to be running again...

It will mean I won't be forced into driving this as often:

Sit down,by the fire light and I will tell you the tale of the spun rod bearing...

I am not exactly sure how it happened.. I drive my car hard but not that hard. When I say drive it hard I mean I get on the freeway like its a jet taking off on a runway.. and that is about it. Never hit redline. Sometimes I drive back roads quick but not crazy.

So I am not so sure how it happened.

70k miles
And I am replacing it with the ej20. My goals are to hit 300whp at max. Not power hungry.. just want good handling.
