I wanted to put this in a place where people would be able to apply the lesson I recently learned to themselves and their cars, and this applies directly to GVR4's. Although this subversive plot was a successful attempt to destroy my Evo, it is still a 4G63 motor and the same rules apply. Also, I work on my Galant in the same location, so what happened to my Evo, could happen to my Galant. You could be next, so this should serve as a warning for everyone.
I thought we were rid of the political conspiracies concerning Socialist Agendas and Non-For Profit agencies, but it appears the far right may have been correct about at least one of them. The group known as "ACORN" is working against individuals with cars deemed as "Gross Polluters" to try and irreparably damage the vehicles in order to get them off the road. This is basically a new form of Eco-Terrorism which is being blamed on a person spearheading the operation known as "Mother Nature". While her real intentions are obvious and apparent, we are unsure how this is going to play out in the future. What happened to me may in fact be stage 1 of a much larger attack. "ACORN" and by extension "Mother Nature" are working with a newly discovered socialist group calling themselves, "The Squirrels". I have proof of their malicious attempts to destroy these vehicles in my state of residence, Texas, but this more than likely is something that will begin happening all across the country.
Of course you should demand evidence before blindly accepting what a single person says is a huge conspiracy, and fortunately, I have just such that evidence. My car, a 2003 Lancer Evolution in this case, had been recently under the knife for a rebuild. I had got the car running and was doing some slow street driving to see what problems would crop up. Little did I know, that at some point during the rebuild, I had been visited by this group, who apparently had found out about my intentions. The first sign something was wrong was when I hit the accelerator, and suddenly, for no reason, the car would not stop accelerating in gear. I took it out of gear and the motor revved to 9 grand and stayed there. I shut the car off with the key and pulled over. A quick inspection showed the throttle cable was semi locked in place, but upon simply moving it a bit, it became dislodged. However, at this point, the car would no longer run. It would turn over, but not run.
I towed the car home and started to look at things. The ignition was working, but the car had very low compression, like 35 points. I began to disassemble it. The first thing I realized was my car had been sabotaged. I found this in the throttle body.
This was my first inclination that I had been attacked. The acorn had lodged itself in the IAC Bypass port. In addition to this acorn, there were about 10 more sitting at the throttle plate when I removed the upper IC pipe. I looked further...
I removed the intake manifold and found about 7 more acorns in the manifold. It was becoming clear. I had been the target of a coordinated attack, only later I found out the group was in fact a terrorist organization called "The Squirrels".
After I removed the head, I found that acorns had indeed passed the throttle plate, gone into the intake runners and been chopped up by the valves. The valves has smashed the acorn outer bits off leaving only the centers. Three of the four runners had 2-4 acorns sitting on the back of the valve, and the face of the seats had crushed acorns all over them. This was a two tiered attacked, first, the attempt at rev killing the motor, then if that failed, a mass assault on the internal components of the motor.
The damage had been done. The group had successfully managed to fill almost the entire combustion chamber with acorn bits, smashed by the valves and piston. These bits were soaked in gas and highly flammable. Three of the four cylinders had such debris in them.
More evidence of the plot. Mother Nature had done her homework. She knew that to disable a motor, you need to do one of a few things. The first attempt was kill the airflow. The assault then moved onto kill the spark. We believe no the intention was to have the acorns destroy the spark plugs. Third phase was kill compression. By coating the valve seats and valves with carbonized acorn bits, the car could never run. A well planned attack.
I turned the head over and filled the chambers with water, to find that three of the four lost the water almost immediately. It doesn't appear that any valves were bent oddly, just coated with acorns, giving enough gap for water or air to escape.
So let this bee a warning to any of you who are woefully fearful all day of government plots and take over of the country by deranged foreigners with no birth certificates, aka, squirrels. This could happen to you. If you leave your IC pipes open, and these illegals get in there, they will try to disable your car out of spite. If you are the type who bought a solar oven and 50 pound bags of wheat because some talking head on TV told you the price of bread would be 20.00 a loaf in three months, then this warning is for you. Take no chances. Go buy a shotgun right now because the wave is coming. Shoot to kill any rodent within 5 miles of your home. Cats may also be suspected as working with the enemy. I love my country, (sniff sniff), and no group of furries is gonna take away my rights. No rodent is gonna keep me from guzzling gas on the highways my tax dollars went to pay for. I hope you will all join me in this fight, and keep our consumption high and our corporate taxes low, because the middle class has it too easy, and we need to kill these squirrels before they do anymore damage to the great people of this land.
Good night and may he bless this land with His Noodly Appendages.
