We'll the poor old girl died on me today. I was driving home from work today and ran over what i thought was a dead animal and it ended up being a giant rock! Needless to say it tore the s#!t out of my oil pan, ripped off my exhaust and seized the motor all in one shot. I sold it to wifes brother who likes to repair cars and then sell fer a profit. Maybe one day I'll get another one, but until then it was fun while it lasted:biggrin:
I know this is not really intended to be here but alot of my posts where here and this is were you guys know me from. Thanks for all your help and happy luding.:sadwavey:

I live in the country, nothing needs an explanation. Honestly, I don't know. Most likely a farmer was moving something and it fell onto the road. God knows its not the first time.

I know the feeling man. People drive around here in dumptrucks without covering it and ruin paint jobs and crap. They don't tie stuff down adn it falls know. I know exactly where you're coming from.

I bought the car for $200, and i sold it for $200, no way would i but it back and rip myself off. There is another one runnin' around with a 4 sale sign in it. Its baby blue and i think its a 2.0si, not sure though. Might just check it out. I can't say I'll pick up another anytime soon, but i don't wanna walk away from PZone cuz' I know one day im gettin' another one.:wink:

I hope one day you'll have the same exact enthusiasm you did when you had the car...your plans for the rebuild and boost sounded pretty genuine.
Good luck!

Im still doing tons of research for the motor and trannies specificly, I have a friend who is a fabricator by trade and does a lot of custom chassis building. Im toying with the idea of a complete custom car.:biggrin: no specifics yet, but lets say the capabilites of a well produced, force induction b21a1 coupled with a well built tranny attached to a lightwieght tube chassis is in the works.:wink:
