put a little paint thinner in the oil fill tube and start it up. rev for a bit. engine goes boom when oil breaks down.

either that or skip the timing belt a few teeth and start 'er up. that should mash some vital components together.....

hydraulic press/puller can do wonders to uni-bodies when tied in together with the frame rails



.....on another note, this actually made me smile today (only for 1.2 sec though)

We have used the fine metal fillings from our high-security key duplicator. That works teh ****. And when you pull the pan to inspect the damage, all you can see is very fine metal shavings. Works everytime. Engine makes awesome noises on the way out. We have done it in a few old Volvo motors before we swapped them out

*But I would really hate to see anything done to a perfectly good 4G63. Please don't ruin a good drivetrain!!!!

i would like to do this the most legal way possible, and again, engine doesnt start so you don't have to worry about the first method

No start...??? Check the camshaft position sensor on the exh cam side of the cylinder head (drivers side). I had worked on my car one night a ways back putting the new manifold and turbo on, and accidentally broke the connector. Caused a no start. If your car hit hard enough, this connector could be your culprit too. Just a suggestion.

it slid sideways through a lot of trees as far as i can tell and came to rest on the nose pushing the intercooler back a bit, the airbags didn't even go off, so i'm not sure whats going on with it. in a way i wish i had been there to see what really happened and how bad it was

dude...the things gets to 140mph like wicked wicked fast, but tops out and runs the speed limiter all the way to the 1320' mark. The car also has awesome green flames that come out of the tail pipe which helps too
