I think this is the worst thing that has ever happen to me ( at least so far ). Yesterday afternoon I took my car to the dealership to get my oil changed ( won a free oil change from the ford dealer ina golf scramble, otherwise would have changed it myself as always ). Dropped it off during lunch and took a loaner till I got off work at 5. Well, it was a nice day and I had the top down and was driving into the sun so I couldnt see my guages. All of a sudden a start hearing this knocking over my radio ( which was up since the top was down ), I cover my guages with my hand so I could see, and my oil light was on. Pull the car off to the side of the road and pop the hood. THERE IS NO F^&%ING OIL IN MY CAR!!!!!! I call the dealer from the side of the road and tell them they had better get to me like 5 mins ago. Blah blah blah... to cut to the end of the story, they are going to replace my motor for me. But to do that I have to return the car to stocK!!! which means the procharger, headers, ect... all have to come off... which is going to take me forever since I work 8-5. My car is going to be down forever... THis is a utter nightmare. The worst part is when I dropped it off to get my oil changed I supplied them with FS mobil 1. I pretty sure I got some kid fired, but for the love of God, he porbably doesnt need to be working around cars if he cant remeber to put the oil in. I worked at dealerships for many and many years, I had some slipups, but everyone makes mistakes. This is way beyond a mistake, hwo do you forget to fill a car with oil???? OK, Im going on and on here, sorry, just trying to vent off some of this anger...
Cream of the crop of bad news...

p.s. How could she tell you she loved you when her mouth was full? lol
Sucks to hear this!
Glad you are getting taken care of at least.
Do you have a gauge pod?
Just like a pre-flight check, all of my gauges have to be within norm before I even pull her out of the garage. No oil pressure, oh yeah something is wrong here.
What a PITA to have to go back to stock, you should ask them to put forged internals in if you supplied them.
Then you can really crank up that boost when she's flight worthy again!

Just an update for you guys. With alot of work, I got my car stripped back to stock this weekend and the dealers come to tow it back to then today. They said the new motor is coming in on weds and should have it back by the weekend. But we'll see what they actually come through on. To answers your guys questions. I do have guages, but I was driving into the sun on the expressway and could see any of them untill I have them with my hand. Theres nothing wrong with an automatic just not my preferance, Im a 5-speed kind of guy. I will keep you guys updated on any new news...

Like I said before, prochargers are sell contained so there was no damage to the S/C. On a positive note, I now have a shelf in my garage that has 180 hp, I should let it go out and race some hondas. BTW its not really all that fast on the install. I think a motor swap pays like 16 hrs and most techs can beat flat rate so its feasable to be up, running, and home on sat.

Good luck with everything man, I hope they do you right. I maybe missed it in here somewhere. Are they repairing your engine, or dropping in a new one?

Trust me fellows I havent forgot nor did I expect you too. I have been practicing ( lots and lots of reverse and neutral drops ). There was some event going on this weekend out at the stadium. I will get out there with a cheap hooker to video tape me before I turn the car back in... How do you put a video on youtube or whatever one most people use?
