Hopefully the block is ok. As stated earlier, I like your stable of cars.

Did a compression test yesterday and didn't come out to well it was around 150 for 3 of the cylinders and next to nothing in the 4th cylinder, so the motor will be rebuilt back to stock specifications or a new low mileage bottom end will be thrown in. Car will be put back to stock and in perfect working condition as this is one of the nicest red evo 8s I have ever seen. I did a lot of TLC after I bought it for just little interior stuff, so the car is in tip top shape for an 03 evo 8. I love the car but having two modified evo's is just to much to deal with right now with school. My next evo will be white rs down the road.
