Default Pic of Broken Rod

This is a pic of a broken rod that has gone through the side of the block. If this should happen to you, like it did me, your car will not run properly

I think I saw your car on a video. It was at the track and you had slicks on it right?

I had it at the track and I had slicks on it, but I personally never taped it so I don't know if it was me or not.

Oops, never mind I just watched it again and he's got Nismo graphics down the side and NOS instead of TT's. Here's the video if interested:

It's looks like he's using a s**tload of NOS.
