Not a joke... im waiting for the flame post against me from him for opening my mouth before any elaboration.. hehe Id say by Noon. Lets just say it wasnt due to the awsome performance parts...but from my understanding, not paying close attention to the proper gauges.. Regardless...when this car comes back from the dead...its going to be one very scary beast....

The only gauges that should cause an engine to grenade by ignoring them are oil pressure and water temp. Anything else should have policed itself prior to detonation. Wouldn't be the first to go from low oil though.

Damn sorry to hear that...and people scoff at me when I say 90% of Evo owners should stick with a flash. Your tuner can **** it up, but you can't.
