looooool yes. Car wasn't throwing any codes except for the Rear O2 Sensor. That O2 sensor in the picture probably has 7000 miles. Pretty much new. >___<

So I decided, "HEY!! CAR IS DUMPING FUEL, hmmmm injectors aren't leaking, no codes, fuel pressure is fine, ECU isn't the issue, WELP! TIME FOR NEW ENGINE"

bone head move.

Over tightened a brand spanking new set of N1 cam; which in term broke the intake dowel pin. Took the cam to a machine shop and they fucked it up worse. Ran the newly fucked up cam and broke all the teeth off the timming chain sprocket, which dropped all the valves and broke two intake rocker arms. I know the over revs couldnt have helped.

Took all day to replace the clutch by myself. When I was finished and cleaning up, I noticed I forgot to install the spacer/shim thing between the block and trans. I thought to myself, "that looks important.....fuck it." 4 years and 40k turbo driven miles, never had a problem lol

Doing a HP cam install on my DE with Rodrigo and Serban. Wasn't feeling well so I was told to drink a Corona and feed some stale crackers from WW2. It was not a good night.

Never going to Rodrigo's again. LOL
