You have some serious facts to straighten out in your post there champ, just a quick FYI. I mean God forbid you'd try and bring logic and correct information into an argument...

 

Designed and fabricated custom turbo, fuel system, and electrical system. Bare metal stripped, body worked and painted a car, and been a part of a world championship drag racing team with 10 world records. I guess that was all last year. Haven't done much this year.

I fully expected that what I was doing would kill the engine. I said it SEVERAL times a few pages back. The fact that the failure had nothing to do with the power surprised me. Doesn't make it any less true.

I don't feel like digging through posts, but I don't believe I said "freak accident" though I may have. The fact of the matter is, it was a random failure. I agree that all engines, all parts can have random failures. I definitely didn't shed any tears about it, in fact, I recall standing around laughing with Nick and Derek about it the following evening.

All valve springs will fail, especially on an old Opel. That would rank well into the TYPICAL failure modes of a piston engine. Pretty sure I already said all this once, still working on that reading comprehension, eh? My connecting rod failure isn't the question, the cam bearing dislodging was the weird occurance; a connecting rod failure from spinning the motor 400-500 RPM higher than intended is normal, and what I thought happened until teardown, you idiot.

And where exactly did I define "freak accident". You keep grasping at that straw like it has some relevance to your argument. It's cute, but not very pointful.

My setup is nothing like Nick's actually. Different engine, different turbo (and different amount of turbos) different chassis, different piping type, different engine location. But other than that, yeah they're similar.

The point was that you called out weight distribution. I covered it, then you said you never said anything about it. You've been doing that consistantly. Once you hit a topic that you can't recover, you just ignore it. Again, politics are in your future. The topic is silly anyway, since it has no relevance to the purpose of these cars, and the amount it's off can be fixed with slight ballasting anyway, if needed.

Hell yes it would. I like the turbo 1 rotor for that, personally.

I never said I was intimidating, or that I intended to fight you, you ASSUME that. My point was that if you would have walked up, you might have figured out that I know a hell of a lot more than you give me credit for. Hell, I'm even a nice guy. I've driven across 3 states to help a friend move on 3 hours notice, donated rear ends to local rotary racers (well, I did charge a Mt. Dew) tried to GIVE PARTS AWAY on this board, and built 4 cars for friends of mine for a total charge of Mt. Dew, Iced Tea and pizza.

****, if you'd have walked up and asked, I'd of told you I'm a pompous *******; you can call my Mom and ask her, and she'll tell you the same. I don't say anything I can't backup though, anyone here who knows me well can back that up too. I also don't talk **** about people I don't know, and the people I do talk **** about, I'm happy to say it to their face.

Oh, and as far as the ignorant V8 owners comment, I actually come out of 1500 HP supercharged 4 bangers, and high output 3.8L V6s; I like anything that makes power, but as a torque junky the rotary (except Rob's freak of nature) just isn't my engine of choice. Doesn't mean it has no place, just that it's place isn't in my car.

 

I came up with intimidation do to the definition of coward nothing more. And no I didn’t assume you wanted to fight me. Lol I don’t think anyone on here is that extreme. Tony may be though with the ufc and dragonball z he’s the one to watch out for.

U have done some note worthy things I give u props.

I wouldn’t take everything I said to heart, but you can if you want to.

If you ever build that turbo 1 rotor shifter cart that would be sweet to see. at one time rolf and I were thinking about building something similar to that with a turbo 1 rotor but more like a 2 seater t-rex type of thing.

And no I don’t think you’re a dumbass -not that you care, I know, I know.-

Good times, good times.

 

Hey now Robs engine is not a freak of nature... lol, Actually it sounds like you could easily build one if you had the desire, meaning you could fund it... Someone just needs to show you the way. Lol


So if we meet on the 5th where's a good place? Mad Anthony's still sound good?

 

This is some funny stuff guys, don't stop on my behalf

 

freak of nature it is not. small port plus big turbo equals amazing midrange and descent top end. my my hp curve blows but my tq curve is beautiful


but seriously im down for a meet and some boozing or something this weekend ill be the drunk guy in the corner looking like this that no one will talk to

 

lmao o man rob.. now that would be comical.

 

Trust me, I don't take much to heart. If I got upset every time someone didn't like me much, I'd never have any time to work or build cars.

I would never fight with Tony, I'm pretty sure he can tear me in half with his mind; I hate to think of what he could do with his fists.

The shifter kart will happen at some point, there is no doubt about that. The jetski may also. The kart has to be done before my kids are old enough to driveit , so I still have a few years (since I don't have kids yet, it will be a bit till they can drive a kart) but, as I'm a picture/attention *****, pictures will be posted somewhere.

In the mean time, I keep my eyes open for a one rotor e-shaft.

 

Looking for a couple parts if anyone has a parts car...

There is a clip that mounts to the firewall, that plugs into the windshield antenna in the cowl, and outputs the "normal" car stereo antenna for the stereo inside. I need this.

I also need the hvac plumbing that mounts under the windshield for the windshield defog.

Anybody have this stuff? I can go get it out of one of my friend's parts cars in Indy, but if I could avoid driving 4 hours round trip for parts that people usually throw away, that'd be great...

In other news, I tore my car down to the bare shell inside to redo some wiring and install bulkhead fittings for the oil pressure gauge and vacuum gauge/controls, and to reinforce my relocated heater core feed lines (they never did seal right to the firewall grommets before). Nothing fancy, but it should make the car easier to service in the future, and it looks nice (and I'm bored, since I'm waiting on engine parts). Oh, and painting sucks in 100% humidity and 90* air temp...

WOW!!!
This thread wins.

I'll post the video of the Evo v.s. Vette later today.

I can't wait to race Kenny myself

Don't you forget it boy.
You might be better than all of us but, NOBODY pwns Chuck.
NOBODY.

 

Race 1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDN5r...eature=channel

Race 3:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upn50...eature=channel

Race 4:
10mph roll...What the hell is torque?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4_25dh1O2c

 

LOL. That Evo is gnarly...

I will have to line my mid 12 second car up with him soon...

 

That Evo means some serious business. The Halls crowd and Fusion are gonna have to start mingling some more!

 

Rob, the kid never got back to me to ask for Chuck's number, so I'm taking it that he is no longer interested in it.

 

Fuzion with a Z...not "s"...Gawd.
It's cooler that way. Dayamn boi.

 

so whats the story with the evo that you guys keep mentioning? details?

 

James is a member of team Fuzion.
My crew...He raced Blake last year.
We all hang out together at hall's and random parking lots.
We go out to find races.

How come you never come out Rob?
Drag racing isn't that bad.

 

My bad

You guys need to start coming out more often!!! I still need to try my luck against James on the bike from a dig sometime. Has James raced Dan with the black Evo9 yet? If he has, and beat him, I def have a buddy that he may want to line up against: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/E...bra_680290.htm The Cobra runs 11's.

I'm trying to line up some close races

Any idea when your car will be running 100%?

 

James beat Dan.
I also beat Dan with my little sister's integra.
I'm sure he's got more mods since then.

I'll tell him about your bike and the cobra. He'll race anything.
We don't get butt hurt when we lose. It's all in fun.

But about my car, I'm not sure.
I tried the ls2's with no luck either.
Then I got some msd plug wires thinking it was the old wires I was using.
No luck.
I've trying to sell my body to get that ignition system, so that's why we havent been going out every weekend.

 

The truck coils didn't work out for ya?

Do you want to try my MSD's instead on the leading? I'm not pushing it enough to need them right now anyway.

 

Nah...Thanks anyway Ryan.
I'm just too lazy.

 

cant afford plates and insurance on another vehicle right now. and my stock daily civic isnt what you would call fun to go out driving with

 

Is it the same Civic you were driving back when I'd show up for the meets?

 

yup.... just got a 98 2.5rs that im working on right now. will be the new daily/rallyx car though

 

What is team Fuzion?
