Brown County Indiana Run July 12

Been there done that. You are correct that is the real bright side. the only good thing about losing a belt is I got a rebuilt engine bored and higher compression pistons. But I rather have the money it cost to rebuild the engine.

 

OUCH! Sorry to hear that. When/what/where did this happen?

Nice profile pic! I'm assuming you're the token Male in that picture.

4 years ago right after I bought it. I had just pulled out of my driveway and heard an awful clicking sound and lost power. The sound was obviously the vlaves striking the pistons. Once we tore it apart You could see where they struck them. None of the valves broke though just bent. The car has been a real expensive educational experience. I only wish I had found this site before I bought the car. I would have had learned what a ppi was and had one done. My belt didn't actually break but the teeth were worn enough that it slipped same result though. But I the extra power form boring it and higher compression pistons is nice. I had another owner of a 4 valve in mine and he said he couldn't tell the difference in mine and his in power. I sure as **** could tell after it was rebuilt. But the few extra ponies were not worth 12 grand.

Yes that is me. My cousin is a photographer and he was shooting a Calander for the University Of Louisville Cheerleaders. The car was in the calender with the Senior Cheerleaders on April 2005. The picture was taken about a week after I had gotten the car back from the engine rebuild.

 

Aaron you stud! Look at all those girls!

It looks like I am stuck at home taking care of business related stuff that i am on a deadline for. I am up for a drive later on. I think Joey and I are planning to get together later that evening for a few brews if anyone is interested.
