so it does or doesnt need a new bottome end?
Parts yayyy!
This thing is looking real good! Little advice with that steering rack ..... Its very quick and everything its hyped to be, but be careful around corners. A quick flick of the wheel will induce overtsteer more readily. It is a sharper turning than you are used to.

Awsome !
Looking really good!
Lets get logging!
Looking sharp!
My tune was so extreme that it skipped the timing belt.
But in all seriousness, lack of lubrication, or any issue with lubrication can lead to unfortunate events like this. The codes you texted me are representative of a skipped timing belt. I would know, after the first "built motor" i had died of oil starvation, i got codes for all 4 cyl misfires, and a number of other 'timing over advanced' codes, as well as the fact that the motor would not start at all.
Either way you look at it, its a sucky situation, despite how you were lined up to soon have a new motor that we could have some fun with that would present much more reliability in comparison to your stock 200k+ mile motor.
IAG should be contacted for having sold you a faulty product that indirectly led to oil starvation. Its a longshot, but if you get a hold of someone decent, theres hope something may come of it.

As your tuner, i approve of this message.
This wouldnt be the first time a protune of mine has hurt a drivetrain....
lol JK, but seriously though. Glad it made it home safe.

Dempsey was the first car i ever remotely tuned and is responsible for the MKtuned emblem and stickers.
Looks fantastic! Some good camera / film / editing skills at work there.
I cant wait to open her up on E85. Your drivetrain can handle it.
enough breathing room from my job to pick a day/night lol
Looks sharp!
Washing a car is pretty much a rain-dance to summon clouds.
When i waxed my car a month ago, i did so many layers that it called upon thunderstorms in NJ in February.... you know, winter time.

The more i see this, the more i want to wrap my own in the same stuff.
mmmmmmmmm
Looks so good, but its missing one thing....
