WEEKEND DISASTERI've been enjoying the EM1 alot and I can't wait for it to be turboed, like god it will be glorious super car owners beware.  Now I was invited to a little drift event at the Willow Springs horse thief mile track over the weekend, a 3 hour drive from where I live but meh it was worth it, now the purpose of me going out there was drifting for dummies, I mean I hooned around in parking lots and swinging my ass out around wide asf corners but this was legit track drifting which is like disciplined, something I'm not, surprisingly it went well and the car held up.   Or so I thought,Driving back to the pits............. CHING GRATATATATATATA CLUNK!!.......the car comes to a dead stop and I'm here sitting in my seat wanting to shit myself, the guys helped me to the lot and stripped the head cover off......the timing chain was busted, 3 rocker arms broke, probably sending the cam up, snapping the fucking timing chain ....FUCKKKK, now I suspect the rocker arms were already broken, and the stress from the high revs probably dug it's grave and buried it, I'm not touching that shit, I'm gonna hit up my mechanic and let him deal with it, I called my insurance agency "Liberty Stands With You", and they sent roadside assistance and got her towed out. So I got a ride home from a friend and felt like I lost a pinkslip race. Man......I was not expecting that at all. So it's got me thinking, 2JZ swap ? Been contemplating on it y'know. You guys think I should go JZ ? Hmmm.....I wanted to go Sileighty for the version 2 anyway and the JZ would be huge leap. I love the SR20 but if I fix this I'm gonna run into another problem soon enough. I didn't spend any money but my little heart is broken.
