    add me to list twice in 2 weeks.

    car = 90 awd protege
    set-up = dohc bp,gtx ecu,460cc injectors,rx-7 vam tuned,t-bird supercoupe (supercharged ones)ic modded,gtr intake, 4wire tps,homemade log manifold .42/.48 t3 16-18psi

    motor 1 was from a egt i bought for parts, was going to use the motor strickly for mock up for the turbo stuff, then just desided to run it, well 3 years later it went first 2 years was as 10-12 psi last year was 18psi.
    driving home after work on the hwy and a semi pulled infront of me and i had to slow down, was kinda pissed go i grabed 3 and punched it hit fuel cut and heard a noise,let off the gas and drove home, next morn when i started the car i heard and ticking noise,thought i might luck out and be something in the top end,car ran fine even under boost, but had a knock.
    rod number 2 slightly bent.

    motor 2 was from a nother parts car i bought, had 167,000 miles and new head gasket from the p.o.
    same set-up as before, got the car back on the road yesterday, well today did a little ripper 2nd and 3rd pull and boom, 2 holes in block 1 big chunk hanging and hole in the oil pan, did not get to look at the back of the motor, so im not sure how that looks, but will see tom.

            ooh, fairmont! we had one, a '78 or '79, when I was growing up for a little while. At the time I didn't like it, but I'd LOVE a nice one now, knowing what I know. I think a 2.3T/T5 would frickin' be heinously awesome.

              the fairmont is getting a 5.0 and 5 speed 8.8 rear, with be fuel injected on a megasquirt and next year will get a powerstoke turbo i have laying around and i will just flip the headers and build a homemade turbo set-up, but since money i kinda low it will be n/a this year

              for now thought its getting a bunch of susp. stuff,and sandblasing all the susp. parts, i already did thru the floor subframe connectors, welded up all the seams on the torque boxes, reforeced the torque boxes, welded all the seams on the stock 87-93 k-member (wider than the 79-86 ones) and boxed the control arms,ect,ect there a lot more like dual piston calipers,5 lug convertion,tucking and shorting bumpers and stuff like that. the biggest pain is sand blastin all the stuff.
              maybe i will post some pics when its done. that plan is to build a budget protouring style car.
