If that was rod knocking I wouldn't be stunned but damn loud for that. Too loud for valvetrain noise, and based the last post date, guessing you know now what it was? My 2nd B13's rod knock courtesy of its last owner hasn't gotten any worse in now over a year, and engine runs strong as ever, w/S3's and I don't baby it. I do have to pull the motor and this Winter if I can get a few other things done, that's when I need to do it.
I think I finally talked myself into giving it to my son, the plan is to sign him over the title to my second B13 (at least jointly so he can stay on my insurance) on his birthday end of February. What amazes me is 8000 miles since it started making any noises, almost none on the hwy, some hard DD use and it's still the same - no worse. Already going through separation anxiety...problem is in all the years I've driven and owned cars, the only one I sold or traded in was my 2003 350Z and I still feel the pain from that. I suck at letting go of my cars. My Z though I was looking at major costs by 12k miles (clutch, brakes, FW, tires, 3rd gear was going-only warranty item) and I really needed a 2+2 so I traded it for my G Coupe (lol which I still have).
I still have this one, too, because I bought it new, that pic's taken in 2008, 13 years later. My daughter is already making noises about how much she'd like to drive it (turns 15 in Feb so I have a little while).
