Back After A Long Time, But My Rims Are Done!

Hey all,

I 've been gone for awhile as I was swamped with work during my last semester of highschool. I finally finished the rims today that I've been sporadically working on since April. My car is now undergoing a complete engine rebuild after I blew the engine back in june powersliding. The engine rebuild just started and I am adding a turbo to the car! The car won't be running till July 2008 because I will be away in Georgia for college ( Georgia is more than 2000 miles away from California).

I was practicing "drifting" (more like a powerslide since I don't have lsd and cant counter steer). Anyways I had made the mistake of switching to a very thin synthetic 10w30 oil and when the revs increased on the engine the con rod bearings in pistons 2 and 3 worn down alot and caused knocking.
