Default think i've finally broke it =)

think i've hurt the old girl!
was playin with a calibre down the dual carriage way tonight and after bout 3 miles of sittin at 5800rpm with me foot to the floor, a fooked fuel pump, 14psi boost and an oil pressure problem she made a few poppin noises, spluttered alot, smoked even worse than normal and started missin big time!
still kept in front for another half mile before me slip road though
Will see if it'll make it to work tomorrow and see damage i've done!
might just be head gasket or melted plug but we shall see

Hopefully its just a plug, but this has happened to a few people in the past and has led to some worse damage. You would know about it though they're undriveable
