I wish I had too. To add to it, the Mazda engine blew a head and the oil pump failed causing some other damage last Thursday. Its getting a new motor from Mazdaspeed and RPM Racing. 3.0L bored to 3.33L with new heads, pistons, rods, etc. With new headers and my straight pipes, I should net around 300 at the wheels. SHOULD is the key word. This is a pre-turbo setup and I'm the only guy to run it NA, so there isn't a dyno on what it'll run. It also will have new motor mounts, a race-spec radiator, and the Injen CAI of course.

 

bump for condition of the deer

 

Don't mind him. Trollz is trollz.

Sorry about the car man, glad you're okay though.

 

So when do you think you might get the Mazda back? Are you footin' the bill for all the repairs?

 

I'm hoping to have it back by next weekend. My friends dad is loaning me the cash. I'm driving a rental minivan atm and it is far from ideal. Haha

 

Zoom zoom!

 

Zoom Zoom my ass. The van is slower than walking, but a lot more comfy. Brakes turn the car into a rollercoaster ride though. The rotors are destroyed and it grinds them so bad. I also have 1 brake light and no backup lights. Gotta love rentals.

This new motor really put a damper on my spending. It'll be nice to have a new motor though with lots of power. I'm sure the Mazda has been lacking for awhile. Not to mention it sounded sweet with the open pipes before. With a better engine and full-on catless headers and straight pipes, the Mazda will not zoom, it'll howl like a banshee.

 

You two are funny. Always hitting animals on the same road. It is ashame that the cars are getting distroyed. The main point is that you are still here.

I was reading your story the other morning, then on my why to work I almost hit a nice buck at 5:30 am.

Oh, and vans rock. Literly. They are so soft and are all over the place with bad brakes.

 

Haha. Well said. I feel like I'm driving a tour bus. The right mirror doesn't move, so its interesting trying to check blind spots.

 

My buddy got rammed by a deer when he was doing 55. 7 years later he STILL has a custom deer fur door handle.
