Not quite how I expected my first Driftworks front page lol.
Went to do a round of the Polish drift championship (and have a little holiday) After a very long drive there I was asked to head in to a nearby town to join a parade to promote the event, after lots of burnouts etc the bottom end started to knock, I knew the crank was on it’s last grind and the rod would already be damaged so decided to do the practice session and destroy the engine, it lasted surprisingly long, then eventually one of the rods came off and went through the block, out came the oil and caught fire( there is another video on my Facebook from the infield, a lot more dramatic)
As to the cause, the only time it has knocked the bottom end before was when I used castrol edge not my usual millers motor sport, so seems a bit of a coincidence used castrol twice and done the bottom end both times ?? Looking for an sr20 to chuck in forJDM Wembley then have a re think afterwards. Filmed on GoPro HD. Scotty

Thanks for letting us know Scotty. Sorry it caught fire again, never ideal! See you at Wembley!
Love the Polish guys comment this situation (lots of swear words as usual 🙂 ) Hold on Scotty. And in polish: Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich 🙂
Bravo to the guy with the fire extingusher getting stuck in to put it out. Hope you get it sorted and get back on the track soon
