Well, I knew it was bound to happen eventually, but it did tonight.

On my way home from work, I got onto the highway, and punched it in 4th gear, then... car bucks, puff of black smoke, immediate loss of power, and tears in my eyes.

It won't idle, I have to keep my foot on the gas otherwise it stalls. I have very little power, as in can't get it to move if under about 3k rpms. And it just plain won't accelerate after about 40mph.

Upon getting it home, I opened the hood to a plume of black smoke, and it continued for about 2 minutes. No visible fluid leakage, but lots of smoke. All coming from the back of the rear rotor.

So, another FD has a blown engine, but hey, look on the bright side, I get a street port out of it, and more power

 

That really sucks, good luck with the new motor. Make sure you do everything you plan on doing in the future to the engine while it's out.....makes everything so much easier.

 

That's the spirit!!
