My luck... with Rx7's ( pics!!! ) nice pretty motor!




yep after 4 weeks of enjoying my car... its DEAD!!! YES!!! WOOHOO im on a roll here people.... 5 motors in 1 year!!! and only one is from apex seal failure!!! LOL..... i swear i think the luggage straps in the back of the car are more realible than the car itself... ive used these things for everything.... once for towing my friend outta a ditch, pulling my motor out.... and towing a car 10 miles with em... these things are unbreakable unlike the motor!!!


sorry had to vent im going insane....
oh yea... BTW this motor pull only took me 1hour and 30 minutes... im on a roll!!

I was going to say "If you go through with your tailpipe idea, wait untill she cools down" but she'ds dead. humping the headlights works well too.

well my first one went after i got a boost spike to 18psi.... stupid kragen silicon lines.... melted from the boost controller to the wastegate.....
second one went to front spacer being dropped during motor assembly and incorrect front spacer size from the builder too
third one went to thermo pallet failure
fourth one went cuz GSL SE rotors dont seem to work well in newer motors
fifth one went due to Oil control ring failure.....

i bought the car with 142k miles.... i got 159k as of the motor pull.....

Yea dude, maybe you should get another engine builder because OBVIOUSLY they dont have a clue of what they are doing!
