So we had the Galant VR4 club meet this past weekend, and we pulled this out of one of the motors. Um, just a look into the future for those of you running massive amounts of boost on a 4G63. Yeah, they'll stand up to one helluva beating, but eventually, somethin' gonna break.
I tried to pull this right off our web site but it wouldn't let me so I had to save it to my desktop and then upload it here. That's why there's all the blank white space. I think we have some sort of picture theft feature on our web site or something. I suppose I could have posted the link to it but it's a long azz thread. Got some sweet pics of one of our member's EVO I, though. Rumor has it it's the only one in the US that's privately owned and street legal.

what happened to the piston? lol
It got mad. LOL. Actually, I believe that was teh result of a ton of boost and a whole lot of nitrous. I think the wrist pin let go. You can't see it on the picture but the wrist pin - which is still wedged in the rod - is all chewed up on one end - like it snapped.
whos the person with backwards feet?

hahahahaha, that made me do a double take.
GO PATS!!!
Lol... It's one of the guys' wife. She was actually sitting down in a camp chair with her legs crossed - but yeah it looks kind of goofy I guess. Then again it could be Adam. That'd explain why he kept stumbling around the yard Friday night. Sure, he blamed it on the alcohol, but come on, I'd be walking goofy if my feet were like that, too! LOL
Edit:
Oh, as far as the "what happened to the piston". I honestly don't know. I went over to the house after I got off work and they handed me the rod - or what's left of it - and said "here, we have a present for you". Not like I wanted it. Makes a nice paperweight, though.

Cool and it's here in Illinois
that rods fine, it'll buff out
LOL at darkstars.
that evo is sweet as hell.
i'm baaaaack!!
Holy crap.. I didn't even recognize it as a rod when I first looked at it..
Yeah the Evo's a fricken rocket. You know that rollercoaster feeling you get when you go down a hill really fast? Yeah he gave me that feeling in the parking lot at the sushi bar. I can't even begin to tell you the bad things he did on the freeway.
where did the pics go? I wanted to see them
Huh. Not sure. I've noticed lately, that pics just disappear for no apparent reason. Maybe the moderators deleted them?

Highly doubt it ... server went down?
Hey, I think I figured it out. If you upload pictures into your control panel and post them, then delete them from your file, then they will be deleted from any post you use those pictures in. I just reloaded them to see if it'd work and whatta ya know, they're back. Went ahead and blacked out the plates too.
