    Thanks Anita, I got your PM.

    Yes, I am very sorry that I'm not a fixture on the site right now. I'm right in the middle of combining 2 detective positions and a 3 million $$ upgrade to our communications center.

    No one needs to, or is obliged to donate to the site. It is mearly out on the kindness of hearts to help offset the high cost of running a place like this.
    All contributions, dollars, photos, articles, etc.. are always accepted with great appreciation. You do not need to be a site supporter to have an article published.

    An article the size of what you are proposing is quite an undertaking and will take some planning to get it to display correctly. Send me, by email, what you have if possible and I'll get it to where it needs to go.

    Thank you again in advance for your contribution.

    zeus, yea i slid into a tahoe in front of my place of work like 2 days before christmas. i then got like 4 days off work around christmas so i could drive home to my parents house to visit for the holidays. i went snowboarding the other 3 days other than christmas because thats what i love to do. my motor actually blew up coming through the eisenhower tunnel.
    basically it started clicking and i figured it was probably a piece of ice or something stuck in the fan, but the clicking persisted to get louder as i drove on so i pulled over and the motor was 3 quarts low. (and i check my oil every time i go snowboarding or drive long distances and it was completely full that morning) which of course then in turn started to worry me so i pulled over, called AAA and waited 5 hours for them to send a tow truck to come get me. the motor was diagnosed as a broken rod 3 days later. apparently the rod broke and slightly cracked/dented my oil pan. so now im looking at a new motor and some new body parts.
    figuring about 5-6 grand, planning on me and a friend of mine who is a mechanic doing the motor swap.
    please wish me the best of luck everyone as am i going to need it with paying for college and now needing a bunch of stuff for my baby.
    so currently im driving my integra and will be probably until next winter at least. so, you will all see the integra in moab for a ride along with someone else =)

    Ouch! What a punch to the gut! Certain people keep saying the 3.5 motor doing that is a myth or whatever but it seems to still be occurring! My '99 is right at 55,000 miles and the possibility of this happening makes me nervous... All the more reason to see what MoonRaker has in store for us.

    Ive moved this to another sight. I havent gotten any response to the pics ive sent to the moderator here and the other sight is stoked about what im doing. It seems like they only have $$$$$ on the brain.

    So write it up with all your pics, and make it a pdf (which you can post here) and be done with it. What's with the drama and expectations you have of this site? (not sight by the way). And realize most of what you are doing is covered in existing manuals and tech CDs.

    You might also want to use a spell checker on your own site....
