then engine gave out tonight after my third run at englishtown. ran 14.3, 14.4, 13.8. had to play with suspension. car didn't lean out just 100K + mile engine and apex seals wore out. no biggie. i will have my FD back very soon. then i'm gonna fix the TII the way it deserves to be, street port, paint job, fix body, etc, etc. project # 2 for now i have to concentrate on my FD

 

how do you know it didn't lean out??... you were probabaly creeping more with the exhuast on.

 

That or the gay stock fuel pump.

 

i have it on video

 

sux to hear about the FC, but at least it will come back better than ever. man it must be nice to have an FD to fall back on.

 

well the FC broke now i have to use my FD no choice

 

lets see the vid dude!

the burnout was sick!

atleast she went out in a moment of glory all though you can tell anything from the run no funny noise, no smoke NOTHING

 

Sucks man. But seriously, what do you expect when you start pushing a car thats been stock all its like and probably had poor maintainance? At least it didn't cost too much, and ran great for what it was.

 

umm i expected it to blowup a long time ago. it served its purpose. now its time to make it 11's or 12's after my FD is all done

 

Sorry to hear about that....at least it's not going to the junkyard.

 

What the hell happened to the Civic? that thing ripped it up. what was the time for that?

 

doh. that sucks man. Oh well, at least now you can get the fd finished up. Well, ill race to see who gets their black car running sooner!!!

 

that was a civic race car with slicks on. i didn't even see his time

 

and mine too!!

 

Yo,


Having an FD to fall back on is a good thing?

*coughcough*

Good luck man! Something funny I read in the 3rd Gen forum:

What does FD stand for?

Funds Dumpster.

hey rarest it's better to have lived. ran 13's, and died then live forever running 16's

 

hope I didnt jinx you with that whole "cars come a long way" comment! Sucks to hear about your car. Good luck with the FD.

I'm not so sure it "surrendered" as much as it did "Fight to the last Apex seal left, don't pop till you see the whites of their eyes..."

heh, good one MtnRacer

Vosko, when are you selling the movie rights?

And damnit Schmiddles, get back in my pants!



VIVA LA ROTARY!

 

Vosko wasn't the only one with misfortune at e-town

I also blew up my brand new engine on my second run. Well looks like I had massive main bearing failure which blew up the engine. Engine sounds like it hammering away itself, very nasty. Looks like i'm getting a j-spec engine for now. The warranty on the new engine is voided now

damn straight

 

yeah sux for both of us. after the FD is running TII is getting rebuilt then paint after i do paint rebuild the engine, rebuild turbo, i will NOT want to sell it it should be a good 12 second daily driver

 

How? By chance was this an Atkins rebuild? I know someone with a 3rd gen that his rebuild's main bearings went out as well. Why is your warranty voided? Did you over-rev the engine as well?

 

yeah his was an atkins rebuild......
