The cost of having a WRX under my belt
Ill try keep it simple-I raced a wrx when driving to work,at the end of our little drag race i was in front by 1 car length,round about ahead,so we could go no further,i turned left he went straight,later my car sounded like a wrx engine literraly,it wa mad as,But i had massive knocking noises in my engine,At first i thought i blew a turbo,or zorst man gasket,or muffler.
Any way parked car went to work,all day i thought what the hell was that knocking.
Description of engine characteristics-engine idling perfect,engine revved smotthly.i was baffled.Anyway went home open hood,max speed of car at that time 60 kms.More was not posssible.5 cent hole,iol everywhere,took rocker cover off,FOUND fault-cylinder number 1 intake and exaoust rocker gear arms where shatted,the bit that contacts the cam,So bassically i had a dead cylinder,anyway i replaced my rocker gear ,i took my rocker gear from my colt cordia turbo engine,just to let you know the new ste of rocker gear is not jet valved type,so nothing will open my jet valves now,i blocked the egr port thing,so now my head is 8 valve operation.,bolt it on clearences done,Perfect all in 1 hour.
Listen up-Off all the performance testing ive done,drag racing,street racing,4 dynos,and some more racing and hi boost applications,what broke 2 MEASLY rocker arm ends.
See it just shows how bullet proof jet valved heads are and my g62 engine,I can tell you right now theres no way in hell i wouldve botherd doing rocker gear swap on a vr4,TWICE the trouble.
PS-I have a wrx under my belt.So dont get p....d

i trully believe you roger, I think you did beat a Subaru RX, your fully sick pimped out cordia must have passed the RX and you mistaken saw it as a WRX, you were probably looking to hard at your boyfriend to notice.
P.S I'm glad he's back, now I don't get picked on.

Oh no,you dont have start the not racing/parked theory,cos your wrong,were you there,NO,so.accept it.WidebodyWoody wrote:I believe that he did pass a WRX. Could have even been the most done up one in the whole world.
Only thing is the guy wasn't racing, he was either just cruising along, thinking what a tool. Or the most likely scenario, it was parked. :beer
PS.. did I mention I was a tool?

i guess thats the problem roger, none of us were there so you could make up any story you like.
Can you make your next hit novel about you racing a ferrari enzo?
Your stories are like "choose your own adventure"
except in your case every choice leads us to the conclusion your a dickhead.
