I mean I would too if I just rinsed a guy for 10k. I'd sell him a DVD rewinder with it.

im a bit concerned about the first year production of that v6 TT. Even if its a toyota, this can easily get screwed up given its a brand new engine, with untested reliability.

Plus you add in turbos/complexity/ and youre just gonna be asking for it.

v35a's been in production for years, hella bottom end issues that continue through to today.

hybrid variant seems unaffected

The F20C sang its last song before it spun a bearing. RIP.

Dammmnnnnnnnn

bcrdukes 05-27-2024 06:59 PM
Thanked for properly driving it on the track and the engine living a good life. Sad that it died. :okay:

How much was the towing bill?

J.C 05-28-2024 05:15 PM
I was able to drive it home so I saved the tow expense. It didn't knock or make any weird noises, but was definitely down on power.

Plan is to get it back ripping at VIMC in August Lol

Badhobz 05-29-2024 08:30 PM
You ballsy as fuck for driving that home. I would have had it towed asap.

You can't really tho. You have to drive on/off ferry, can't be towed. You can get towed to/from the terminal tho.

bcrdukes 05-30-2024 06:15 AM
You can't flatbed?

68style 05-30-2024 07:14 AM
You can flatbed for sure, I've sent vehicles by flatbed to the island before for work.

Prearranged is doable. But post track day in an "emergency" situation, is quite hard to do. I know a few people that left their vehicles on the island and brought parts back over to fix it after just because the tow is so hard / expensive to arrange.

Platinum BCAA, they should cover it no? Comes with a few 300km tows, should be able to tow to border then get a Canadian tow truck to meet you right?

? What is this fake news lol

It's more expensive for sure cause you have to account for the ferry costs if you don't have BCAA but I've never heard of anyone not being able to have their cars towed to/from the island

!Kodamu 05-31-2024 01:36 AM
Bcaa does tow from the island. But you are on the hook for the time the tow guy waited for the ferry. If you have a friend that has a truck and your car can use the U-Haul dollies. That might be the cheapest option to get it towed back.

I am reasonable sure BCAA has cheapened its Platinum membership. Now it only allows for 1x 320km tow, and 3x 160km tows. I seem to think it used to be 3x or 4x 320km tows.

Fun fact -- the drive from Area 27 to Chilliwack is only ~310km! :badpokerface:

If you're crossing a lot that'd be a good time to use a guaranteed loading card, if you can figure out how to get one. I've yet to sort out how to actually buy one.

Are you referring to this?

If yes:

By calling 1-888-BC FERRY (1-888-223-3779) – we will mail your card to you

Once you have your card, register and load it with Assured Loading Tickets (ALTs) in groups of 10 to start using it to pay for travel.

Effective April 1, 2024, load ALTs to your card in groups of 10 for $1,880* per group
One Assured Loading Ticket pays for 1 driver plus 1 standard vehicle - up to 7 ft. (2.13 m) high and 20 ft. (6.10 m) long
Present your loaded card to the ticket agent at least 20 minutes before your scheduled departure to ensure guaranteed travel

68style 05-31-2024 08:52 AM
Interesting, never knew about that. Wish they had that at the po-po when I worked for them, had to do a reservation every time because I didn't one time on a turnaround trip and had to wait 3 sailings turned into a very very long day.

underscore 05-31-2024 09:09 AM
That's the one, for some reason I kept only finding the login page and not the one with the signup info lol. It's not cheap but it saves a lot of headache when you need it.

Hopefully its not a spun bearing. If you drove it home it'll for sure need a crank and either rods or a block. If no noise it's probably not a bearing. Was the oil pressure light on? How did you decide it's a bearing?

For 20+ yrs I've been sitting on a very low km block with the frm sleeve issue, the rest of the internals are mint. The plan was to sleeve it when I needed it but then K series became a thing. I'm always on the lookout for a s2k that needs a short block, lol. If you need this for the crank and rods or want to sleeve let me know.

bcrdukes 05-31-2024 10:05 AM
I may need to swap out my R53 engine for a K-series soon. :troll:

BIC_BAWS 06-02-2024 08:41 AM
It's finally fixed! I feel like it's lost a bit of character and ride height (visual effect due to having fender liners and a full bumper + lip).
