Was on my way back home from work today. got on the car in 4th gear to pass a slow car. Air fuel ratio was good with 15lbs of boost next thing I see is smoke all over the place no oil pressure and in boost. Engine dies on a two way higway with no shoulders going up a big hill Luckily I had enough speed to get up the hill and coast to a gravel road. What a crappy day. I was hoping this motor would make it through the summer. I suspect the internals are still intact but in poor shape.

Obviously I ain't alone, as there are a helluva lotta sti and evo here. Bueler? Beuler? Mazda? Mazda?

'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.
