tonight I was trying to catch up to this hot girl from class. reason being I noticed her noticing me driving an eclipse. She was in a 03 civic.

Anyways I hardly let the forge psitons warm up before following her out to show her turbo powah. Spooled it and the car made a slight pop noise. felt it though the floor board. I thought to myself "oh shit"...I hope it is not the rings.

Drove the car home for the 5 mile duration. Car seems to idle fine. No misfire CEL, unlike last time with the cast psitons.

came home, car still idled fine. Performed a key dance, got a normal 55.

decided to cleanout my missing link, and swap in a set of fresh plugs. Old plugs look okay, but a bit black and not the usual whiteish/grey hue.

Will perform a compression check later this week when my GF lends me a hand.

Anyone else has similar experience with this? I think it might just be me mashing the throttle too far, and too much fuel was induced at that given moment, causing the backfire.

Moral of the story is I probably deserve the scare (which I really hope, and not a ring land) for being a pig. Oh and also I noticed my tranny pan is leaking a bit.
