It's okay though. It's a common problem with old DE's.

In 2001, my brother had a '93 SE-R, following after me. He raced a mustang down the street, then pulled into our driveway and killed the engine about 20 seconds after hitting the rev limiter. The next day he started it up and the engine was done.

Always simpler to get a JDM RR DE because of emisions crap and all that.. You are in CA so unless you have a hook up then I don't know about a VE... Pull the spark plugs and see if there is oil on them or even look down the cylinder holes and you can possibly see the damage... On my civic I had a cracked piston head :0 I got a JDM RR swap due to rod knock and it runs perfectly fine

Bone dry dipstick = not enough oil in engine/slude = dead SR20DE

Yup, note to self.. Check oil more often lol.. Yea I'm still weighing my options right now, I recently wrecked my reliable dd (i35) and now I'm left carless but with a bit of money from insurance so I'm debating what my next step will be, for now ill drive my dads truck since he's out of town and have some time to think. Thanks for all ur help guys.
