Just like Hinson and that v-8 fd, "blah, blah, blah, we have 12million hp and 10billion ftlbs of torque blah bla bah", but when it comes down to it, I have only seen 3 vid of the car, one it ran fine, the other they couldnt keep it running for more than a minute or so and the last it wrecked because something blew out under the hood.Now they have been bragging about the new version which im sure we will never see.
Whether its civics, v-8s or rotaries, it all comes down to put up, or shut up.

I talked to Rich and Steph from the show this past week, and gave them the last parts of info from us for the final cut of the show. Looks like they are saving it to the season finale, which would SUCK to have to wait that long to see!!!

"It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...winning is winning"
Um, what? nevermind... hah
So a little birdie told us today to expect to see it as episode 8 (the last one of the season go figure) which will be on around the first week of freaking April!
Geez, producers are killing me here...
Anyway, they can say the NOS didn't work, whatever. The system was charged and able to purge. The solenoids worked when I pulled them off their car to keep them and put them on mine Either way, the $7k I got for selling their hard work sits fine in my wallet 
BTW, I am selling the car after the show airs if anyone is interested. Not sure if I am going to do a silent auction, or post it on the forums or ebay it. Depends I guess how it looks when the time comes.
Apparently they won't show our episode until the end of the season because it is supposed to be the best episode they shot, and will draw the most audience. blah blah blah. I guess there will be alot of the guys from Honda-Tech jocking the stinky pinky as it gets handled...even with our less than perfect driving (you'll see when you see the race lol)
Anyone else notice something funny?......
Oh yeah, our cars AND their car in our parking lot
