looking for an OOOOLD video

saw a video a few years ago

was a video of an FC who was basically trying to run his motor into the ground. redlined it and kept the coolant cap off, he was betting with his friends that it would only last 30 seconds or at most 2 minutes, ended up lastiing close to 20 minutes. anyone remember this video? was trying to find it again!

Actually, someone just posted a link to it a few days ago. search for "blown motor idiot video" or something along those lines. Maybe just "blown motor video." Get creative.

Hey, that's the video I saw some years ago that influenced my decision to buy an RX7.

Gotta love that S5 temp gauge.

some people were saying that it was just a waste to blow an engine like that(though it was blown to begin with). it went back and forth for a little bit. some people thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
