Well Zako has finally blown his engine up!
After a nice tuning and fixing, I decided to take my car for a bit of a run on 13psi...something she used to do daily.
Driving, driving, enjoying the BOV going nuts from the boost..... 100km/hr on the freeway when my car decided to change gears from 4th to 1st!! OMFG!!
I had never seen so much smoke come from any car in my life... This was on the freeway and it happened just before the wellington road exit.
So I pulled over and assessed the situation. The engine was still running. Sounded quite nice and normal actually, but I'd lost drive. Must've blown my torque converter up.
Somehow I managed to limp her onto princes hwy before she really died in front of the Springvale Necropolis (guess she wanted to die
)
Got her towed home and took her to the mechanic the next day and he said that it's not worth repairing as it would've cost me $3000-$4000
So she's off the road now and I won't even dare spend anymore money on her.
I will be wrecking her for parts soon, so a post will be put in the for sale section soon. I might keep all the seats and fuel system and turbo for my 808.
So she's dead boys....
Regards
Zako
