Ok, so heres the story. I get outta school for Christmas break and everything is going great. I got my car painted SI blue and my bodykit molded and whatnot and everythings cool. So I'm now looking forward to going back to school and watching everyone drool over how gorgeous my car looks now. So Monday morning comes around, time to go to school. I'm getting excited right. It is however the coldest day of the year in Colorado and temperatures were at a teeth-chattering -11 at its coldest. I dont care, my car still looks good.
Here I am, I go out to my car and get in, getting ready to drive my friend home before I go off to the learning facility. This is the point where tragedy sets in. My CRX is running fine, kinda off a little, but I blame the cold. Well, when I did my B18A swap into my car in October, the motor smoked a shitload. It took all the money I had to keep oil in the goddamn engine. So after school today I was getting some Bronze Valve Guides put in in hopes of stopping the smoke, but that never happened. At the bottom of the hill that my friend lives on my car died. It just shut off, no strange noises no nothing. Just dead. I then proceeded to try and crank it over, but to no prevail.
After about an hour of pushing the car up the hill on ice and then working on trying to figure out what the hell happend in -11 degree weather we call it quits. I called my Dad and had him come tow it out to his shop to have a professional mechanic look at it.
Well, heres what happened according to the mechanic, (and he's a family friend so I know he's not trying to fuck me over), I SPUN A MAIN BEARING AND TOOK OUT A ROD!!!
Too end this horrible tragedy is a sign off good fortune, now I get to build my ITR motor and trust me, this badboy is going to be built lika muthafucka!! A preview would be Darton sleeves, Oversize Wiseco 9.5:1 pistons, Eagle H-Beam rods, and thats only the bottom end.
