I was cruising friday night thinking all was good. My car seemed to be running good and this big ass truck was fucking with me and David so we both took off to get in front of him when my car just slowed down....I was able to keep it going and drive it off to a side street, I was hoping for a cliff but a side street was good enough. I left it running cause at the time i didnt know what was wrong.
I used my Pocket Logger and killed each cylinder one at a time to see if one was missing, but they all dropped the same. I thought maybe a rocker popped off so i was gonna take the valve cover off. I got the Timing belt cover off and found out that it was loose as shit, I could move it about 1 inch up and down. Im pretty sure i heard the valves hitting the pistons, or at least tapping them ever so gently.
Right now i have the car up at suby sports....Braden is gonna give me some space to fix it there. If i hit some valves then im just gonna replace those valves and find out why i lost all my tension. Its a new tensioner so im thinking that the bolt for the pulley got loose.

The good new is that I scored a set of OZ F1's for $300. Ones curbed pretty good, but its not to bad.

Im seriously thinking about getting a WRX now. Ive always wanted one, and ive been thinking for the last couple days about it. I figure if i sell the neon ill be able to pay off all of my bills and have about $3000 left. Im not sure what ill do with the laser...Maybe part it out, or keep for a daily driver. But Ill be able to put down $5000 for the WRX, and ill finally have one of the cars ive always wanted (Its been between a WRX, EVO, Supra, RX7) I dont think i want stupid fast speed, just a good all around car...i.e. Braking, Handling, Styling, Speed...
