That's right...my car which fell victim to crankwalk (2nd time) over 16 months ago cranked for the first time last night! For those of you who know me... This is a never ending drama which I hope to end with this 1Gina2G swap. I only work on this car about 1 day a week & have taken a 4 month break from it all together to maintain my sence of humor about the amount of blood, sweat, & cash I've given away to this beautiful beast.

For years I've been un-official dsm "black sheep" as I've had the worst luck in the world with modding & breaking it:D So Erron & Dave, I will now step down from my low & pitiful rank handing over my thrown to you guys... fighting it out to see who breaks more parts? I will now have a car that runs for more than a month at a time therefore no longer being fit to represent this honor:cool:

Oh my John, don't go talking like that. You better be knocking on wood over there. You gotta ease into it, ya know, so that your car doesn't know what's happening. ;)

Good luck.

Hahaha, That's the approach I used the two previous motor rebuilds:p I figured I'd try the more direct/ confident approach this time? I'm gonna need that luck, thanks!

Haha thats one heck of a competition ;) . But since Erron doesn't drive his car like a rental I doubt he'll keep up with me ;)

lol, good luck, I'v given up on this engine, and going JDM also, my first choice got sold from under me (bastards) but a local guy called me outta the blue and offered me his EVO-3 engine, not quite what I wanted but its the yellow top 510's and had the Big 16G gonna haggle to get the turbo also, he has it off and not included for some reason) Anyways, 2 motors in 7 months! OI!
