Well...Here's the story.
I drove the car down to Los Angeles last year for sevenstock 5 (if you couldnt make it you missed a great show). After the show I decided to go do some canyon driving and of course was pushing the car a little hard. Before I knew it my temp gauge was passed the H, NOT GOOD. Needless to say, I pulled over and noticed that coolant was everywhere. The heater hose under the oil filter blew which caused my car to overheat.
The effects of that were warped rotor housings and a cracked apex seal.
So I sent the motor off to Pineapple Racing and they streetported the motor, put new rotor housings on, and did the stage 2 oil mods. They were great, especially Rob, always willing to take time and explain things.
I think another problem was that I had no fuel mods with a 90mm turbo back exhaust, intake, and no smog.
Oh well, lesson learned. THE HARD WAY!!!!
