Sad Sad times

man its been so long since i last posted on here
not to much has been happening to me execpt that i blew my engine
nice fist sized hole in the block
i was being bad and forgot to put oil in it and then i heard a knocking noise after like about 10,000kms of driving with no oil
so i put oil in the motor and the knocking noise when away then i was going to go to work when some retard in a red accent was tring to race me so i was like arighty then
i stomped on the gas and killed him and then it happened smoke EVERYWHERE i couldn't see/breath it was horrible.
good thing Mako E2 showed up like 5mins after to see if i was alright

i went to the wreckers near my house and picked up the same D16y7for $400 out of a 96sedan and like 95,000kms on it

put that in over the weekend 2 weeks ago
and then just last saturday guess what
the crank in that motor was garbage and it went while i was driving to hamilton
i didn't even know what happened execpt that i had no power steering and my battery was dead but i was still driving and was hearing some kinda a banging on the bottom of my car like i was draging something and to my surprise it was the crank pulley
i took it to honda and they said that it would cost $500 to fix cause the crank was broken too
man ive almost had it with this car.

3 times a charm, cant have that bad of luck to have a third go... somone spun the **** out of those bearings on the 2nd one...96k thats just bad luck, those engines are bulletproof. do another one have it inspected first, and dont buy from a junk yard.

thanks for checkin in, and better luck with the next engine. try Buddah for the labour, maybe he can save you a few bux. don't give up now, the car has given you several years of good fun.

Sorry about your luck, but not to sound too harsh, sounds like your more of the retard for stooping to his low and racing him...mabe if you didn't race your engine might be still here today.

yep, i got super pissed the other day... just finished all my SIR controll arms/ camber kit, time to put in the swaybar.. i got 4 brand new bushing bracket bolts from honda...all 4 of them snaped like twigs inside my frame, im talking like 20 ft/lbs of torque snaped all the heads off the bolts...

like wtf, said # 10 on the heads...no way should #10s snap that easy, and the bolts were turning too!!like halfway fastened, i wasnt even torquing them down yet, using nice even force, all had antie size to lube...

i was super pissed cuz

A: it was a pain to get the bar up and over the shift linkage and exhaust (had to disconnet it all)

B: now i have 4 broken studs in my ****in frame, so the swaybar will not be able to be mounted


it wasnt a pretty sight, i was swinging at everything in site, swearing at the top of my lungs... First time i lost it on my car in a long time lol...usually im pretty patient, but when brand new bolts snap in my frame, i dont handel it to well lol...



any sujestions of what i should do? i really want that swaybar on... its the nice beefy SIR

and yeah i shouldn't have raced that guy or i would still have that stock motor belive me i was kicking myself the entire time we were swaping the motors cause you should never let a GM guy work on a Jap car
