I was racing a Z24 Cavy with a 50 shot and when I went to go from 3rd to 2nd insted of 4th gear. I was a good 2 car lengths ahead at the time though. The only reason I win races against most guys is because of my launches and fast shifts. But when I missed the shift, the motor went haywire. The rev limiter did not kick in at all. I have no idea how high it rev'd, but it was past the 8k mark. But now, the flywheel is litterally in pieces. Which is really a rare thing to happen. The clutch is obviously gone too. And I may have bent the crank. So, I might be in the market for a 3sgte, 3sge, 1mzfe, 3mzfe, or 4age. We'll see what happens. I hate to waste this opertunity and put another 5sfe in there. It all just depends on what I can find and for what price. I'm really upset to see my baby down though.

Update, I've got everything back together now. Car isn't running as well. Feels like it just doesn't have the kick anymore. Motor is now showing it's age. I think I've lost compression and I'm leaking a good bit of oil now. A good bit to me might not be as much as a good bit to a DSM, but it's still more than it did. I've been talking to Dr Tweak about the motor swap. Dad seems up for it 1/2 the time. He's an old racer himself, and he keeps flip flopping between friend and parent.
