126000 Miles :( RIP 2.0

This past weekend at the Auto X I participated in my engine went. I managed to finish and drive an hour home with a terrible noise like an exhaust leak. During the event I spun the car and tried to start it then heard a loud thunk. As the day went on I noticed the oil pressure progressively dropping. Once home I drained the oil only to find a bronze metallic color in the oil and the viscosity of water. I realized this year I was racing the clock on this but, now was the worst time for it to happen. But all things happen for a reason, and hopefully very soon I will replace it with a 2.2. But I believe really this story shows just how well Honda manufactures engines. I bought the car is 2002, and have really driven the car the whole life as it was meant to be driven, I ran ITB's with no filter for 60000 miles, ran the car super rich on bad tunes, also had numerous terrible tunes on the car and so on so forth, but I always changed the oil and never had any other problem with the engine until now. I must say that I am upset, however it is what it is and I guess 2011 has just been a year of rebuilding, and hopefully the end of year or next year the car will be better and stronger! Ill keep everyone up to date.
