Ok well I'm really close to calling it quits on my car. Within the last 30 days I've had my alternator go out, my starter go out, my tranny go out, my clutch arm go out.

Then tonight I was willfully participating in an exhibition of speed, between a WS6 and myself. Well, all was going well. Very well actually. My car was running like a champ. Well for the first time EVER, I mishifted. 3rd to 2nd. Should've hit 4th. BANG! There she goes. So I coast it to a stop. Luckily the other driver pulls up next to me and helps me push it out of the way of traffic. So I waited for the tow truck for 2 hours. And now I'm home.

Tomorrow I take the VC off and see how much $hit I broke. Wish me luck..

Ok, I think it is official, Matt, and Thomas HAVE to be long lost brothers. I mean, you both drive a 200SX, you both mis-shift into second instead of 4th. You sold him your rims...yes, you're brothers.

But on a serious note, sorry bout the bad luck. That was way too many things go wrong in a short amount of time. Hopefully there isnt TOO much damage, but if there is, welcome to the world of JDM.

Good luck with everything.

ouch, hope its not to bad :(

Damn matt, Well you ready to make some money right?

Shit, I thought I was the only one who was having a run of bad luck. Within a span of 3 months, my tranny went out, my starter went out, water pump started leaking, oil leak around the timing chain area, my subwoofer blew out in addition to my interior speakers blowing as well. Now, I got most of the problems fixed except for the oil leak and I'm in the process of replacing my interior speakers. I donated my subwoofer to goodwill and sold my sub amp.

You know how I feel bro. Call me as soon as you get that VC off.

Ok well I just pulled the VC off. I broke every rocker arm except 1. I'm in the process of pulling the cams out. Rob (SE-Rican) is THE MAN!! He's sending me some new rocker arms tomorrow. I have pics, but I need to wait for Serban to post them up since my website doesn't work all the time. Hopefully I didn't bend any valves. All the retainers are still in place so maybe I didn't. So as long as I can find all the pieces I should be ok. Damn this sucks. LIVE AND LEARN!!

Don't worry matt, this happen to every 200sx driver. Me, You, Doug ( 3 times), jorge , and a couple of people i know.

Don't feel bad cause u are not the first one.

If u need anything just give me a call

Ok, I'm finished for the night. As soon as my package arrives I'll have the rockers. I've found 2 slight problems.

1: I'm missing 2 of the little discs that go on top of the valves. I imagine they dropped into the pan. When I change the oil, if they don't come out I'll drop the pan.

2: My cams have a few minor scratches on them, I need to determine whether or not they're usable.

Damn Matt! I feel bad for you lately. I hope you get everything fixed soon.
I must be lucky over here since nothing bad ever happens to my car. *Knock on wood.* It's either luck or because Marc took such good care of it when he had it...lol. I think it's luck.:p

The faster your car is the faster it breaks. This is very true.

Chrissy, i will fix the size of my pic once Serban is online
Sorry about that again
