I'm trying to look on the bright side, and like you say good job it didn't go in germany either on the track which could have ended in serious disaster, or alternatively on the Autobahn at 175mph.
Can you just imagine the mess that would insue if I threw a rod out the side of the engine at 175mph. It would have been carnage......... or Death.
As it its its just money. I've had my fun with it and served its core purpose. and will likely bail out and don't be suprised to see it in the for sale section v.soon as a going concern. Its worth good money in bits even with a big end gone, but don't have time to strip it, and at the moment its probably only one bearing so fixable for someone who has enough love and time for it.
Will drop the oil this weekend, to look for any bits on the magnetic oil plug, but 90% it a big end.
Great car and shame I couldn't get to finish what I started - Will have a think about what next, but preffered outcome would be to try and sell complete car as is, as a going concern for around 5K. which would include, AP breaks, PPG, 321V, 6xdefi's, worked heads, FRP, STI seats, Milltek, 740's, Speedlines,APS front mount, DV.... and so on.
