Posted 06/10/11 04:02 PM Author Share Posted 06/10/11 04:02 PM (edited) Well guys il give u a bit of an update on what's been happening with the car. There's been alot of twists andTurns. 1st my beautiful wife falls very ill and nearly lost her in hospital. A week heart at 26 years old.I put everything aside for awhile, including work and my beloved car, to spend some qualityTime with her. She's finally getting better, I go back to work and a little low on cash decide to install the PlazmamanGear myself. Thanks to Alex and P.J for allowing me to ask alot of dum questions and guiding meThrough the whole ideal. Hot side piping, cold side piping, process west battery re-location kit (under headlight) 1000hp intercooler and 4inch intake and racebox all installed my me and a mate. I think in total, it took me about 12hours to install (keeping in mind I have little to no experience in cars.Unfortunately with "Spiro" away on a well earn't holiday meant I had to cradle the car for the next 2 weeks before he gets back.Not a problem. I finally drop the car off to Autotech Engineering today to get the fuel pump, actuator and get the turbo housing ported along with a tune. I get a phone call at 8:00 tonight telling me the devastating news..... Your engine has "blown on the dyno".."shattered" is the best way to describe me right now.... I raced down to the shop to see Spiro's face worse than mine... Oil everywhere!!!!It's the 1st car ever blown on his dyno and it had to be mine...I do not blame Autotech. They have always looked after my car in the best possible way. It's just one of those things. BA's are known for this and I took a gamble.. Where to now???My wife is well, what more can I want... I'm gunna smile, work long hours and hopefully get this car I need for work (being a builder)Back on the road within 2 weeks..With alot of help from Spiro... This time a stronger bottom end....

I went to Autotech Engineering today and they are replacing the motor with a new F6 short motor,Should hopefully be ready by the end of the week. $6500 really does hurt the pocket.Apparently I blew 2 rods. one thru the sump and the other out the side. The tuner was very impressed with the damage.Il post some photo's up tommozz of the damage.
