it was running barely. i drove to ito he gave me the DEATH gesture. i shut it down and pulled the spark plugs. it never started again. had AAA tow me home the only thing my TII is good for now is BBQ'ing with the big *** flames that come out of my muffler when i crank the car

the car didn't detonate or anything, i'm pretty sure an apex seal failed due to old age i expected the car to blowup long ago just ask 13BAce. i will have my FD back very soon so its not big deal

Did it sound like a volkswagen? If so then an apex seal probably broke, but it could have taken out the rotor and housing in the process. If it stayed in place then it wouldn't do too much damage.

FD will be ready next week



yeah my car sounded like a volkswagon :baaaa: the apex seal def broke on the rear rotor. i think i can def make this a 12 sec daily driver beast very easily. just needs the engine rebuild, turbo rebuild, some racing seats, and all the body work fixed. then i will have a mint TII :bigok:
