K20A2 Damage

[RSX-S777]

Need a reason not to drive like a tool?

Yuck. Looks like a bird's ass exploded.

Ouch!! Nasty!! Hope that didn't belong to you!!

BTW, what kind of oil do you use in your RSX? I just changed mine over to Mobil 1 - 0W-20. Seems strange after using 5 0r 10W -30 all these years, even straight 30 while living in Florida, but that's what Mobil recommended. Hope it keeps mine from looking like that mess!!

I don't know about that. But not misshifting at redline will help keep your motor from looking like that mess.

ouch, seeing things like that makes me happy this moniter doesnt have color. Poor engine... you need to come live in my si.

[crazy_canuck]

That engine has already been through enough, it doesn't need to be put in a Civic

jks

Ha, ha Canuck!!

I had better be careful......I don't want to admit this, but I have downshifted into first when I thought I was catching third in this car!!......I just bought it two weeks ago and I haven't driven a stick shift in about 20 years!!

Luckily, I drive like I am 20 years older, so even downshifting two gears too low doesn't bring the revs up to redline!!

Unluckily, I got my first ticket last night The cop told me they are patrolling and ticketing for speeds that used to be acceptable because there was a 200 car pile-up there a few weeks ago in the fog. There wasn't any fog when he stopped me!! I get to pay for those idiots that wouldn't slow down when they couldn't see the front end of their cars (during the day!!) Maybe he stopped me too because I am driving a sporty little Japanese car in the heart of the Bible-thumping Rustbelt.

I haven't been involved in an accident in......dang I can't remember how long it's been!! And I slow down for snow, ice, fog, crappy roads. I'm pissed!!

I know how it feels, I went up north into a town where the ratio of cops to normal people is 3:1, and the friggin fuzz tailed me for 5 blocks, I specifically made weird a really large circle to ditch him, and he slaps me for a ticket because at a stoplight I "nearly clipped a person". The thing is the cp was behind me so he couldn't see, and it was at 2 km/h and the whole time I saw the back of his bumper! Then I couldn't find my certificate so he says quote: "*wink wink* i'll just charge you for no certificate". He was just looking to meet his damn quota.

I've a great respect for cops, absolutely NO respect of highway cops. They had roadblocks and checked every car for Canada's largest import show, and at a ERASE 1/8 mile race at a race track 2 hrs away from Toronto, the inspected everyone. Not to mention I almost got pulled over a freaking FUNERAL!!! And I have a legal tint and a grill as my exterior mods. Retarded.

Good ole' boy cops don't much care for them there zippy little FOREIGN otto-MO-beels. Are you givin me the eye BOY?! You just earned yerself another VEE-hicular violation! I had a cop come flying up next to me this summer on Main St. and just ride there, dead even. He kept looking over at me...and I kept looking over at him with a "yes, officer?" expression. After about a quarter mile or so, I guess he figured I was intimidated enough and blew past. I guess I learned my lesson....???
