Well it finally happened. Rod knock late yesterday on the freeway and there was nothing I could do. Rod #2 went right through the block!

But I am now in the market for another B13 SE-R or NX2000 If anyone sees one hit me up thanks.

P.S.
I have been out of contact due to a lot of stuff going on. Sorry, to all the fellas PMing me but I'll get all your backs soon.

hey homie.
sorry to hear your loss.
same thing happened to me on July 3 2002.
driving home and loss #2, just as you did.
unfortunately for me, i wasnt active on this forum, and ended up spending nearly $2,000 for a JDM engine. that included labor.

hows this for a deal for ya?

I really want a VE but toooooo much of a hassle passing emissions here in the desert! Plus I want to run 87 octane instead of the 92 octane $3.56 stuff

The VE was cleaner than the DE when emissioned... Justin Mc. had a VE in his G20 and passed the emissions with flying colors.

Now there are at least a couple of VE's in the valley...I just passed on my 2nd
attempt, had to add a restrictor plate after the cat . Retarded timing from 15 to 5 degrees, added an afpr. HCs & NOX were 2x over legal limit, CO near passing. 2nd attempt smoked the HC,NOX by over 60%, CO by 30%. If your install is clean, visual is no problem without EGR. You can have your cake and eat it too! Make sure your cat is working real good,keep it hot...
