I was on my way to Richmond yesterday to get some new shoes and decided to stop and check my tire pressures. When I get out of my car, all I hear is "clunk clunk clunk clunk."

So I think maybe it's my engine-lid prop rod. It has fallen off before and clunked around but this time it's nowhere to be found. I pull it onto the lift at work and get under it; still clunking. Seems i have broken a rod. I limped it home where it sits now. Running it for a year with burnt up valves and no 3rd cylinder compression probably didn't help.

So to make the best out of a bad situation, I'm thinking of blowing it up in a glorious, smoke-filled, videotaped display. I need ideas.

 

the brick on accelerator pedal is always fun.

 

I was thinking I could do it at the Cloverleaf drift event, but it'd probably be too much smoke/oil/metal. I was gonna pin it against a light pole and let er rip.

 

Brokeneck blew his mr2 with a big rod knock by the "foot on the floor" method.. and yes, it blew oil and smoke 20-30 yards. and chunks of block, and bearing parts, and sections of rod, and..

 

drain all of the fluids out of it and run water in it and then give it the pedal

 

Whatever you do, be sure to tape it for the entertainment of the group.

 

 

just put down a 6x4 sheet of plywood and park it over it. then you can do it at that event. just gotta clean up whatever drips off. not a huge deal. =]

my motor is on its last leg too, making a bunch of fucking racket and its about as fast as a civic ex now. hehe

 

 

I got it on video when I blew up my MR2. Ill have to get COOLVA to put the link up.
