    The red car goes down

    So, the basic story is that I rebuilt my motor, drove it on a 800 mile road trip, raced a corvette, and blew my motor. Basically what happened was that I was over powering my injectors, leaned it out, and melted 3 pistons. I'll post pics tomorrow.
    Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

            It started to go out at about 60-70 and we were side by side until I lost accel. The 2 reasons for the part out are: 1 The melted pistons, 2 my mom has brain cancer with about a month the live, so I'm using the money to spend 4 days a week in Utah. I'll post pics shortly.

                        Aww man, I'm really sorry to hear about you mom.

                        She is way more important than any engine will ever be though.

                        Best wishes to you and your family.
