Angry Blew my motor!!!

Well, as the title says... blew my motor about 30 minutes ago. Haven't seen that much smoke coming from a car in my life. And loud as hell.

Luckily I was close to home, and didn't have to leave it stranded on the side of the road.

Yeah... but I have a rotary guy here that helps me alot. I will probably take it to him first.

But if all else fails, I will keep you in mind.

man that sucks. Hey Rotary Ressurection - your car is about the best 2nd gen Ive seen. Is that a bad pic or do you need paint on that front clip? also I was hoping to see some better lit pics of your Demonspeed lip. I saw your other thread.

That is a good pic of a poor paintjob. The entire car needs repainted, especially the front and back bumper covers which fade quicker than the rest of the car.

I know you cant see much of it...black on black just doesnt make for a detailed picture, but its all I got.

Mind if I ask how you were driving the car when it blew? Ie. boost PSI, RPM, temp, etc? Just bought an FC N/A and hoping to learn how not to blow my motor
