Okay,
It's been a while since I've had an update.(Internet doesn't work properly at my house so I have to go to my parents)
The car started first crank....
-It ran good for a bit then started leaking oil,
-Replaced every seal on the front of the motor and all was good,
-Drove it for a bit more then took it off the road to do some more mods including, install of the Recaro seat and an oil filter relocation kit,
-Got it back together the friday morning of the 2010 PACNW Nationals,
-Drove to the drags and did a first ever pass with a 57 trim ct26 @12psi and the safc untuned and zero traction in first. Got a 13.966 at 103.3MPH,
-Did a second pass a little slower on the E/T but higher MPH,
-Got kicked off the track for leaking oil.......(this is when it all started),
-It was leaking from the oil filter bracket on the block......I tighten it up as for some reason it was loose. Still leaking.....So I leave it and figure I'll just drive it home and fix it later that night.
-I go to start up the car...Notice I have 0 oil pressure...Shut it off instantly!!
-There is now at least 3-4 liters of il on the ground under my car!!!!! :-(
-I push it out of the track and get it towed home
-The next day I take a look at it, I grab the bracket and it falls right off....without even loosening the bolt
-I look at the block and...half of the threads are gone!!!!! And I dont just mean the threads, I mean like a whole chunk of my block where there should be threads for the oil filter bracket is missing!!!!
-I now need a new block
So(sorry for the long story there lol), the motor had just and I mean JUST finished being broken in. There is maybe 600 to 700kms on the motor. I am a little ticked off now but shit happens I suppose.
I have a new motor lined up and it might come as a surpise to some of you........I'm going 1j :-D
LOL
