Just got a call from my friend on his way home from work. He was cruising at 60mph in 5th or 6th not accelerating. Sounded like he hit something, which he didn't, and then shaking and smoke and he pulled over and saw the oil puddle. He took a couple pics of the damage. He said he found a motor for $2600 out of a wrecked si but I didn't see the details.
He just runs a ktuner base map and doesn't run the car nearly as hard as I run my si on ethanol tune. Last month he had a misfire on cyl 3 and drove it 15 miles home. I went to check it out and plug 3 was broken. The ceramic was broken but it didn't come apart. Replaced all 4 plugs and it ran great for 4 weeks untill it blew today. It's a 19 with 41k miles. He sold his fk8 earlier this year and it isn't warm enough for bike yet, might be a long month for him.
