It's a brand new engine, why would it not vtech? That's weird. I'm not much into engines, what's your take on that? A tuning/computer thing?

Maybe timing or valves need to adjusted? It is wierd and that's why it's back at the dealer.

Thread is up with pics, will be updated with details as they come from shop/insurance. For now I am trying to adjust to the raw power of the Hyuadai Elantra rental car they gave me.

Wow - this is the official bad luck thread. I read it yesterday and was thinking that I was pretty lucky with mine so far, then got ready to go for a drive and heard "tick tick" as I rolled the car out.

Looked at my tires and found a screw head lodged in my left front tire tread (no puncture, just pinched in place between tread blocks) and thought that I was really lucky. Got in to go and "tick tick" some more...

Turns out there was another screw in one of the rear tires (this one was all the way through the tire)

Aaargh!

So here's warning to everyone reading - do not post on this thread - it's cursed!

I'm not worried about a curse. I don't have a car to curse. I saw my car today. All the frame work is done and welding a new quarter is done. Next is mounting the new fenders and bumpers. They are doing a great job, just slow. I'm thinking the first week in October. I'm an vacation the 7th through the 21st. That will be a nice present. Where shall I go.

Good luck Troy. Check it out throughly so they can fix and problems early. I can't believe they screwed up setting the motor up the first time. That was a Honda dealer!

I will drive mine around for awhile after I get it back before I do the mods. Just in case.

My car feels a little faster every day , maybe the computer is slow to learn the new motor? Why does is rain all day every day? I've never hated rain so much in all of my life untill I got my S2000.

I hope you don't have to do a lot of driving tomorrow. It's supposed to be pretty bad.
