Exclamation The 2006 STi Motor that Blew Bits @ the EQ T-Hill Track Day! ...huh?
Hey guys, this is all I've got for now. Once the car is at EQ I'm sure there will be better up close pics of the hole in the motor and the ejected piece of block lol...

Look at the intercooler on the bottom right... that's the chunk that blew off the motor in the area shown in the third picture.
