So this morning everything was going great. Got up early for cars and coffee meet...was way hung over but had a good time last night... (I was trying to make a silly face...but I think I was pretty drunk too )
Then got in the car to go to the meet and some guy was driving like a tool so this:
Then went to the meet, all was going well, car was running super strong as you can see...then I downshifted into 3rd to race this lexus that wouldn't stop honking at me and right when I engaged third a very very very bad noise happened. So I put it back into 5th and it seemed fine no noise. Then cruised a bit further and the noise came back very faintly and started getting a bit worse but nothing like 3rd gear was so I thought maybe the tranny crapped out...was bound to happen.
Got the car home and my mechanic buddy listened as I turned the car on and the noise was back very audible and he said shut it off. He said sounds like rod knock from cylinder 2 or 3...
