Default bottom end went byebye.....

Oh im so sad today...
Its about 18 degree here and I started my car to go to home for the night...(saturday night)
I hear loud knocking noise comming from the vehicles engine bay....
I quickly shut the engine off and check the oil.... (yea its still full)
I really didnt have a choice, so I had to drive home...( at this time I already knew where that noise is comming from... )
Monday morning comes around and I took the car to the dealer for a warrenty repair.....
Later that day I found out they have to replace the bottom end and they said Im goin to be out of a car for about 20 to 30 days.....
At least Im glad it happened at 31k miles and not after my warrenty at 34k miles....
Talk about cutting it close.....

Is this the famous 4th cylinder failure?

Beats my estimated 3 month wait if they decide to fix it from my accident.

Look on the bright side...Getting the engine fixed under warrenty and a new clutch.
When you get your car back it will be good to go!

Hell yeah... it's like having a brand new car again.

I love the feeling of driving your car for the first time when it has been a while since you have driven it.

Yeah I finnally got my car back....
Everthing seems to be fine since I drove the car for 110 miles that day....
The only problem I had though was that they dont know what my radio code is,so I have to pull the radio out later and give them the serial number....
I would like to thank Airway Honda in chicago for fixing the car ,eventhough I didnt purchase my s2000 there...
The service department was very nice....(eventhough they knew I regularly race my car at the track..)

I was actually surprised when they called me and said that the car was done...
It was way faster then the 20 to 30 days wait........
