I was at a big car meet checkin out my buddies ca18 silvia, and a guy walks up and goes

"hey is this an rb20?""No, ca18..""oh CAA? Nice."

Just realized only canadians will get this, CAA is like AAA but in Canada, for roadside assistance and whatnot

Hey guys......just thought I'd update you on this engine.It currently isnt still alive lolbut it will be again shortly.The guy was running a factory head gasket, and too much power (I told him the factory one wouldnt hold up to that power).so he blew the gasket, and actually melted a hole in the head between 2 cylinders.It was making approx 350 RWHP on 17psi

wondering if anyone has tried that new spool stroker crank yet :/

Cheaper then trying to get your stock crank fixed from a thrown bearing
