I talked about this for awhile. Well it is actually happening. After a mishap of blowing my motor up in my car, I decided it was time to build what I have only dreamed about.
Since I want to tell the truth it is only best I post this, I am on a few forums, and since I am part of the Supra community still I want to share.
Well I am going to give the story. Judge as you will. I already understand what is going on, mistakes are made.
-Beginning - I was in Fremont coming into Holton. There is a really nice large turn, about a mile, I was cruising at 100 MPH, it never seems like you're going that fast in this car though. Anyhow I passed a cop, I immediately slowed down to 93 and I saw him brake and U-Turn, I put the car into 4th and didn't know if he saw me. I then came up on 3 cars and 1 semi, I had to slow down I was about 3000 feet so not to close, rear tires locked up fast, but I let the clutch out and put it into 4th., I put the car " Knowingly " into 3rd to pass, but didn't realize I was at about 130-135, I put it into 3rd and wondered why my RPMS were at red line, I took it out fast, but the damage was enough. I still got around the semi, because at this time I was going about 110, and turned off and put it into 4th. At this time I still had no power really, I hid the car and made a phone call to the girl I am seeing. She came and got me and brought me home to get tools to raise my coil overs and then get a car cover and flat bed it home.
10 minutes after I got home local PD came to my house asking if a had a Silver car with blues rims, I had to say yes because the way he said it he knew. He told me a cop wanted to talk to me. The cop that chased me came. he pulled me aside next to his car and said so you want to tell me what happened? I told him was my car going to get impounded? he said, most likely yes. I told him no matter what any tow company would screw my car up. He asked me where the car was I wouldn't tell him. I ended up telling him I did see him chasing me as I passed the semi. He asked if I had a turbo or nitrous because he had never seen a car pick up and go as fast as I did when he turned around. I just said little 4 cylinder, and both cops eyes lit up.
Anyhow.. he only wrote me for disregarding a officer, and going 87 in a 55. He also said if I set up a informal hearing for the speeding ticket he'd help me. He asked where my car was again and I told him I was going to it to get it out of where I placed it, he said okay.
That is the truthful story, nothing has been changed or stretched. I am not happy with myself and I think by blowing my motor and most likely will loose my license for a year. So all the badgering isn't what I need right now, but I am sure it will happen anyhow. Have a great day.
I am on a different forum so a lot of pictures will be posted. I have been working on the car for 3 weeks now.
Before I blew the motor went to tail of the dragon.
Retainer snapped in half.
Spark plug, not in good condition.
Pulling the motor.
The cat seriously knows I did something wrong, no rides for him anymore.
Motor is out now, transmission has to come out before the motor on these cars unless you have a lift then you can lower the entire sub frame!
Taking the motor part now..
Cylinder #1 debris in it.
Cylinder #2 ouch.. Snapped valve.
Cylinder # 3 More debris
Cylinder #4 more.....
