Default Out of comission
Well did a pull on the way home tonight, got in second gear and lost oil pressure and kaboom. white smoke. And to be honest Im glad, I wanted to build a new motor anyway, there was some sketchy things that went on with the people who worked on the car so this will get rid of those things. Sucks just literally finished the nitrous kit install the other day. Gonna be looking for a lq9 and boost it with a th400

end rant
