Galant having Open Heart Surgery tomorrow

[VegasMatt]

As some of you have found out, Friday night I blew my motor while racing an Acura Integra. Somehow the timing got messed up and decidied that 32psi would go into the #6 cylinder causing it to liquidate my piston, sparkplugs and valves. As of this morning, I have been searching for two days to find a new engine and I found one with 20K miles on it. Tomorrow a company called JDM Unlimited will be taking the galant under the knife and bringing her back to life.

I will keep you updated on how it goes but they expect it to take five days.

Wish me luck!!

i agree

[VegasMatt]

already done. It blew from some freak of nature thing internally inside the engine. I think it may have had to do with the accident i was in back in 2000. Something must have been of key.

But I took the car down there today and was impressed, they had already started working on it and have four guys on it. Should be done in a few days.

But no one else should feel bad right now than the Integra's owner :twisted:

Good luck with everything, they should have it done soon! I bet 32 psi felt good for a second or two....

[VegasMatt]

Its funny you say that, I was thinking towards the end of the run that Wow, My car is really pulling good today. Then Pow....

[mike969mb]

So no updates on the engine? They finish it yet?
