Default Do you think it's broke?

This is a piston out of my motor:



I had the car about six months, pretty sweet huh? I had severe detenation that blew the ceramics out of some of the plugs. The shop I took it to said it could had been from bad gas. Once the motor was out there were metal shavings everywhere and one of the heads had to be reworked. Also the previous owner apparently hit a curb and broke the plug off the intercooler pump, so I had be driving around with one HOT supercharger for six months. Just thought I would share since I got the car back running on monday.

Wow that's freaking terrible.
Glad you got it running again though.

That's pretty funny, I almost used it before the motor was taking apart because of how rough the idle was.

My buddy also gave my a front bumper, he works at a body shop, that we painted and I finally got to test fit it this week.




what do you guys think?
