MINI UPDATE: ENGINE CONDITION




After that dock drifting action and overheat thing, I felt car was feeling low on power, so when I got the car into the garage, I pulled the engine and inspected a little bit, drained oil and found bunch of metal pieces on oil plug, which wasn't good, so I took a quick look under the head itself. Turns out pistons got fucked and block's bores got all scratched up, which means this bottom end goes to the fucking bin. I have 2 options right know:

1) I can disamble the bottom end, machine the block and rebuild it with new bearings, rods and pistons.
2) I can just say "fuck it" and buy an oem short block, slap the old head and continue to drive.



I haven't made a choose yet, but I am planning on fixing it 'till next week. Either way car will be faster and stronger.

This is how car sits right know by the way:
