plus clogged injectors fuel pump and other crap from the sugar...

I'm sure the insurance could find traces of that sugar without much effort if they decided to investigate

I did it in my 300zx. A deer hit my right side. A week later, i installed a system and forgot to tie my battery down. I went for a cruise and went over a bump! BOOM! fried my wiring harness and nearly blew the battery. I blamed it on the deer and got all new stuff. Take the insurance companies deep, they do it to us.

Old trick. Insurance will sample it and find sugar trace. Then you'll go to the big house for insurance fraud and become someones beeeeaaach. Don't drop the soap

PM me I live 3 hours away and I may be able to get a buddy to go with me to bust out that project. He's been working on rotaries for 13 years and his father owns a couple shops in FL. I am in the military so we could just take it to the local air base in oceana or Norfolk.
