I can't - no money or time to rebuild it. I leave for school this Saturday and I have no money for a rebuild and worst of all I already paid Steve Kan to tune it. So I will be getting a nice check from the insurance when I tell them the POS burnt to the ground

Thats really lame. I hope they get you for insurance fraud and don't give you a dime. As a matter of fact.... we have digital evidence of your intent.

If you burn it, everyone here will turn you in, and you will go to jail. Don't do it!!

I know how you feel when something goes wrong and you just want to get mad and hurt the car. But you really should be smart about this. IF you don't want it anymore, then sell it. If you can't fix it, sell it. Destroying such a rare car is a crime, especially if you plan to screw your insurance company. A car with 45k miles on it and the upgrades you have could go for a good amount even with a blown motor, why don't you put it up in the for sale section just to see what's it's worth.

You should not be boosting a GT42R without the tuning done anyway. What did you think would happen?

Sorry I am not going to burn the car.... I was just venting off a lot of steam. My dad and I just got the car all ready for Steve Kan to tune it and then this happens. We even spent 10 hours putting in a new ACT clutch and flywheel. The amount of hours of work that we have put into this car is ridicules. We do all of our own work to the car which I think is pretty cool for 2 average guys.

I think we are going to pull the engine before I leave this Sat. and have Davinci rebuild it and then my dad will hopefully be able to reinstall it before Steve comes.

So let me get this straight...

1)you are 19, going to college and bought an FD.

2) You modifed it, not lightly either. "

GT42R Magnus Turbo Kit, Apexi Power FC,......

Getting tuned by Steve Kan on Feb. 4th!!! "


3) Boost it without proper tuning.

4) Blow it up

5) Going to commit insurance fraud to pay FOR YOUR MISTAKE . Nevermind that you are going to destroy an already rare car and mids of every thing we all end up paying higher premiums on cars because of people like you.

Please tell me that's not how it is. Thanks guy... You are really a swell dude

I just read the post that you wrote that the car was indeed tuned. Sucks but to you I say:

You play you pay man.

You get no sympathy from me. To be honest it's because your whole insurance fraud thing. It's your fault the car blew up but you expect others to pay for it.

Again, I am not burning the car up, I said that because I was pissed off that all this bad **** happens right before I have to leave. I would never hurt my baby.

Currently the car is at Davinci for a compression test, but I am 99% sure its blown. If it is I am just having a basic rebuild done with OEM Mazda 2mm seals. They will also raceport it.
