major power loss, lots of wite smoke (with slight blue tint) that smells like oil and fuel = blown rotor. likely broken apex seals on one rotor.

pull the plugs, crank it over. that will tell you FOR SURE within 5 minutes.

I am sure you know the rotary abd how it should sound, but just in case...

you should hear:
chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug,... etc

2 or 3 broken seals:
chug, hiss, chug, hiss, chug, hiss, .... etc

1 broken seal:
chug, hiss, chug, chug, chug, hiss, .... etc

really really bad:
hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss....... oh crap.

he he, that was fun.
anyways, keep us informed.

 

ah crap gh0st, that sucks. Keep us posted

 

blew a seal. there were several broken pieces of a dull gray metal sitting on top of the catalyst material in my mid pipe. both my coolant levels and motor oil levels were significantly lower then before the incident.

 

so in other words you...





what were you doing when you killed it? (that's a hint for those who don't get the pictures)
Track?

 

bummer, just when every thing was working again and right at the holidays

Aren't the seals under warranty till 100,000 now?
How many miles on the car?

Sorry to hear all the trouble gh0st.
Here's something that's actually on topic, and it's funny.
It's on youtube, but that's blocked here at work, so I linked it to another site.

I don't get to post this very often, but it's guaranteed to make you laugh.

 

still blocked here

 

so for any of you who want a big crishtmas tree and dotn want to spend much or get one of those little needle "pretty trees" i have a place for you. its in Devore we got a 12+ tree for $35. It didnt looked that big outside but as soon as we got it home and stood it up in the middle of our entry room it almost touched the ceiling so i had to lop about 2 feet off of it. ...and then i forgot to secure it and it fell down 3 hours later. The stump was soo big that i has to go out and buy a saw that night just to cut it as no one in the neighborhood had anything big enough. now we have to try to decorate it and hope we have enough decorations and lights.

 

the little miata that could! http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/07/2...er1-2006-mazd/

 

The Stealth bomber did a fly over my neighborhood yesterday... Freaking awesome!!!!!!

Seeing pix vs. real life is totally different. This was my first time seeing it...



On that note unhappy Monday everyone..,

 

did you cut 2' off the top or bottom?
if it's the top, I'm coming over to look.

 

if i cut 3 feet of the top i wouldn't of had to buy a saw, the trunk was close to 8" wide.

Detrich next time we go to an airshow i will have to take you. Trouble is most of the bases arent having any for some time. EAFB is in October and MAFB is in the summer but both dont currently have any scheduled. The little shows dont bring out the real hardware.

 

Yup, the work has been in progress and should be ready this week to see a dealer.

 

Forza Monday bump......7 PST. Anyone playing tonight with me?

 

Not Sure Yet We Have A Sequoia To Decorate

 

we still have our 6 foot tall fake tree...really does look silly up against 12 foot ceilings.....Snowfl8k really does want a new fake tree. Maybe for next year.....if I can figure out how to store a 12 foot fake tree. If I get one, definately want the one that already has the lights attached...maybe one of the fliber optic ones....

It is a small sacrifice to make her happy, given that I have not had to do any outside decorating for 6 years now

 

keith: check out walmart, target, and Costco the day AFTER christmas. they might have a few extras lying around at a ridiculous discount

no points, so just play for fun.....took me one play through to figure out how to interpret the clues it was giving with the black and white pegs.

update.....uggh, the colors can be used more than once.....

 

yup,.,,,never buy christmas stuff before christmas...the after christmas sells are definately better.

 

Cesar: went to send a Picture message last night and was like, "WTF, it's not an option???"

fortunately I did some digging around on ppc geeks and I think I found a work around.
