Oh man that sucks! I know how it goes though I'm just getting the last of my tickets off my record so maybe when I put insurance on the talon it won't be that bad. I'd like another motor too build too. I'm down to just one extra head. I blew up my blocks and lucas english ended up with my other tranny.

The whole car, the deck harness is a complete mess, and he ran a bunch of random blue wires and tapped them into the hazard switch and some other things.

And do you know why he sanded down all of the trunk plastic pannels?

haha ya he did a horrible job, but im pretty sure that the blue wires to the hazard button was for all of his neon tubes that he had in the car, he had the back seats out with a fiberglasss wall/ amp rack that had two 6x9's and three amps on it and the trunk is all sanded because he was starting to make a fiberglass enclosure of the whole hatch.

O that makes sense. Was the fiberglass amp rack nice? All of the fiberglass work that was done to the car has pretty much fallen apart by now.
 
No, my OEM back bumper should be coming in the mail any day now and I am getting a new front from certifit soon. I've gotten 8 tickets in the past 6 months so I haven't been able to get everything I wanted done as fast. And yeah haha the lambo doors are off, thats why I had to take the fenders off. I ended up selling them for $150, I almost felt bad selling them because of how horrible they work.

Ya, well I don't even need a block. Basically what happened was I was driving up the freeway to go to a job interview. Long story short I got on it a little chasing down a camero. NOTHING even crazy, like maybe 80mph. Next thing I heard is a pop noise and I look behind me and oil is spraying everywhere. My oil pressure increased and popped the filter loose. I lost all my oil and manged to coast almost the whole conway flat stretch until i hit the exit where it drops down to two lanes northbound. The car died as I was getting off the exit. I put oil in it right away and a new filter but it didn't start. My luck it was started dumping rain. So i got a tow home and stripped it down. I still don't know what damage I may have caused. I just got a daily and am waiting until i get a job so i can start the build. Right before all this I had just spent 2500 on the head. I might as well just finish up the build and get everything done right instead of being half ass.
 
ya for sure that really sucks, sounds alot like what i did to my prelude, i used to have a 96 prelude it was white i was pretty much a dumbass and beat the crap out of that car i was taking it to like 8500 rpms and heard a pop started spraying oil turned out i melted a piston and scored two cylinder walls. I had gotten a new ecu for it and was running really lean i guess haha. anyways i try not to beat my cars and not drive like a moron. but i think im going to start an engine build for my gst soon the economy sucks and its going to be hard to sell it so i'll just keep it and build it.
