Serious bummer, sir.

Don't let it wait too long; you don't want corrosion to set in & add to your problems.

A quote from the video uploader on Youtube

3 rotors are misunderstood, they produce massive power off the line and top end, in this video the Fc had the stock rear suspension which would not hold up to the torque, even at 20 psi on pump gas like on this video. look a the mph it produces no street evo that I have seen can do this on pump gas.
It had stock rear suspension, wowwwww.

I'm dropping my car off at Lucky 7 later this week or early next week. If there isn't any damage done to the housings, irons, or rotors, I'll be looking to sell them. I bought a used s5 longblock and trans off of Japan2LA which are already at Lucky 7. Last Sunday I bought an s4 rear end off another member of the forums so I'll have the best of both worlds.

Lucky 7 is going to get to work rebuilding the engine this week so its ready to drop into the car when I tow it over there. If all goes well I'll still be able to drive to Sevenstock still but if not my dad and I will only be taking my brother's FC.

My rebuilt motor only had 40,000 miles on it when it died. I thought I had at least another 60,000 miles to go before even thinking about the prospect of it failing, but I guess thats just how blown engines go.

Just poking my head in: Not sure if there is a SB carvan to SS, I will probably be going to the large caravan from the OC. As I can not see youtube at work is Jesse bringing the Vert to SS?

I'm going to Sevenstock but the Arco caravan has decided to do a canyon run on the way there so I'm going to opt out this year.

I'm on the fence with regard to joining into the caravan; even if I join up with them as they pass through Chino Hills, taking Carbon Canyon over to the 57 and then down the 5 is the long way around compared to down the 71 to the 91 and then either the toll road (faster & cleaner) or the 55 (cheaper).

Means getting there later and dirtier... and I still hold out hopes of a long-shot at a courtyard spot. (A guy can dream, right?)

That, and given my bad luck in getting to SevenStock the last two years, I think a dodge through the canyon in THIS car on THAT day would just be pushing the odds a bit too far.

Kinda like daring fate to slap me in the head.

I'm not for the canyon run either...but I didnt wanna roll up there alone. But I think if they know people are avoiding the caravan because of the canyon run I'm sure it can be cancelled.

Divin,absence,Renton...if they cancel the canyon run, you guys in??

No because I don't want to infringe on their fun. Thats why I didn't post at all in their thread once I saw their plans. If I don't like it, then I don't have to participate :P

I've been on a freedom trip lately haha.
