I'll be honest, I laughed when I got the thread update notification. Is there video? Please say there is video!

Haven't they given you your own window at the DMV yet?

in4carnage!

 

No video sadly

 

he was racing a Mercedes.

I'll let him finish that story

 

I want oil covered merc pics nooowwww.

 

+1. What exactly does a $100k Merc look like covered in 40wt?

 

Lolol, just saw your new title.

 

the worst part is after it all happened and the smoke was bellowing out he got back next to me and threw the thumbs up with a huge smile then took of and continued on with is day.

 

That sucks, I'm in for pics

 

owned

this is the worst timing ever too, cause I wanted to run your car SO bad in my z06

 

Still no pics...disappoint.

 

it takes him 6 hours to build an engine

it takes him 2-3 weeks to get a fuzzy picture taken with a potato

I'm almost serious

 

I think it was a bad e85 blend and detonation. I was just talking to my boss about this tank getting 22+mpg when i usually average 18ish. Not enough ethanol could have caused it

 

the less ethanol content the richer your car would have run
also you were running little girl timing, not MAN timing, and same boost, so no, I highly doubt it was the blend.

if you were running 20+ degrees and high boost then maybe, but you were not doing either

 

?

 

Why is that pelican covered in chocolate sauce?

 

i just towed it to my work tonight . the exterior damage is almost nonexistent. theres just a vertical crack on front of cylinder 3 that bulges out a bit. i should have it out on sunday for pics.

 

so you did crack the block?

 

yep. i cant see the back yet but the front of the block has a crack

 

pulled the pan off before i left work today. it has a pretty good hole in it and i was able to recover most of the piston. the rod and the wrist pin are no where to be found. i have one rod stud without a nut on it that i found in with the oil pick up.

 

I would love to know the context of this picture.
