Tick Tick… BOOM! Actually it was more like tick tick… CRUNCHGRINDSTOP.  Injector 0-ring fail, and side feed injectors are hostile to the Mobil 1.  That’s two motors in two weeks.  Is the AE86 next?  For the first time since driving an AE86, I actually hope NOT!  The AE86 can stay.  The BC can become monstrous.  がんばります。
