Might be a bit nerve wracking bringing her back out there again after all of that. Gotta enjoy it though! That's why you have it

 

[ATL Si]

You're exactly right. I want to taker her to the mountains/track, but the thought of all the oil sloshing to one side of the pan keeps playing over and over in my mind! I'll suck it up eventually

 

[MrsJrotax101]

At least going with a bunch of people is better than being alone

 

[webby]

Yes I was. I was the kid who spun a rod bearing......kinda ruined the weekend.

any info on what actually caused it?

Well we aren't 100% sure but the most probable answer is that the added G's of my Dunlop Star Specs & suspension/camber mods +Long Sweepers +Bad Luck caused it to spin a bearing. That's what my engine builder said, and it did start making noises after a section full of sweepers.

Makes me think I should get a crank scraper and baffle for the e30, since it is a known problem.

sorry for typos, from phone
E30, FA5

[ATL Si]

Which rod bearing failed? Was there any other damage?

The #1 bearing failed. There wasn't any damage to the head since I stopped driving so early. My car now has a 12.5:1 K24 bottom end now though

I also can't wait to actually hit the dragon with a bunch of not Mazdaspeed guys! I'm glad I'm finally one of the cool kids
