well here is the story. i was out at ennis motorplex in ennis about 2 months ago. there was this wrx there that wanted to race me. i had raced him before and he always killed me off the line cuz of AWD. but i would always come back and beat him by at least a 1/2 car length at the end. so we get the green and at the end of first i am maybe 1 car length behind. this is great cuz all of the other times i raced him at the end of first i was like 4 or 5 behind. so i go to put it into 2 and it won't. i was thinking "crap!!!!! i was finally gonna smoke him!!!!!!!!"

and at that point i just coasted through and when i tried to get it into gear after i had left the track, it still wouldn't. at this point i was getting worried. so then i stopped and was engulfed in a cloud of smoke. NOT COOL!!!!

can anyone say "burnt up clutch?" the only problem with this is ennis is only like an hour away from my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i called my buddy and we trailered it back on sunday. now 2 months later, i think i knew all of the parts i needed. yes 2 months later and i haven't fixed it yet. i have bills. but any way, now i started cleaning it up last night and found out that when i took it to a shop to ahve the valve cover gasket replaced, they did not make it better. they made it much worse. now instead of having a little oil in one cylinder, i have lots in all 4!!!!!!!!

they did not seal the gasket!!!!!!!! dummys. so now i need another new gasket, clutch, pressure plate, fly wheel, spark plugs, wires, and on top of all that, my blinker/headlight swithch leaver thing needs to be replaced too. well my very mechanicaly inclined friend is headed over here now to tell me what else is wrong with it. i'm thinking i will need at least $2000 in parts. (that also includes a quaife LSD, i figure if i have it all apart anyway, why not?) and i need more tools to do the work and a lift and a whole bunch of other crap. so i'm thinking that i will probably be spending about like maybe $4000. wheather i do the work myself or if i have someone else do it. basically i am saying, I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!!!!! sorry about the length. dang. i am long winded huh?

Dude i can somewhat feel your pain. At least i can still drive my car. Although I'm completely ashamed to drive it. (for those of you who don't know I have $1300 and some odd change worth of damage to my backend of my car). It hella sucks that you have to pay that much to fix your car. Especially when whoever "fixed" your car fugged it up. I'd be makin them pay for part of it! get bitchy dude!
