Nitrousbird Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 NO2 will do that to you. Miss a shift with a Turbo or a centerifical, and all you get is a pisssshhhh, no broken parts. N2O won't do that if you run a window switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thats alright I had under 100psi on #1 and #6 anyways, it was time for a new motor.This year my only concern is the T-56 trans being able to hold up. It might see a 4l80e in the near future and some 1.4x 60ft. shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 N2O won't do that if you run a window switch. I was running a window switch but I had the cutoff set too close to my rev limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohones Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Ha ha ha. Actually I don't want to spray her at all. I need to stop spending my $$$ on my kids so I can purchase the twin turbo's. That would probably help me with both my rep & my time slips!!!!!! lol That spray thing (after seeing John's piston) doesn't excite me at all. I think my posture comes from the sixties era?????

McGraw Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Celica ran good, Monte Carlo was broke Celica breaks down Monte carlo runs fine Monte gets a stutter right before fixxing the celica again ... then the year was good. Had the monte towed home from PA. And then the real pain in the ass started now it's winter and the celica ran good all year long ... until winter and the heater core and radiator went out within 48 hours of each other ... now I'm driving the monte carlo until I can get the heater core replaced in the celica .... which is so fuckin exciting let me tell ya ...

AudiOn19s Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 GSXR 1000: Sold and dearly missed....stupid house A4: Turned it into my detailing "van". Always loaded with crap, wasn't fast to begin with, just keep it clean and pray it doesn't break with 130K + miles, curbed one of the 19's done in a custom finish...can't get a replacement! At least it still looks good. 325ci: Returned to stock and sold M3: Picked up in Feb. First track event in May. Realized how much more fun the car was on track than the bike (fun not exciting...not to get them confused), Realized how much more expensive the M3 is on track than the bike, Wife realized how much fun the M3 is on track too, realized how expensive it is to pay for 2 people to do track days, realized how expensive it is to do track maintenance for 2 people (pads last about 1 weekend for both of us). Frustrated I don't get to drive it daily. 2006: Spec Miata or E36 M3 in my future???...r-compounds for M3???, big brakes for the M3???...the only definite is that it won't be cheap but will be fun.

SlowmotionMotorsports Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 The 2005 review for my 1997 Integra GSR: **Started the year with a manifold and turbo upgrade (equal length mani and a gt35R) laid down 521whp 408tq at 23psi (ran out of injectors) **Spent the spring trying to break into the 11's **Got in an accident and talked my insurance into not totaling my car and paying for an all new JDM conversion for the front of my car **Got my car back after 2 months at body shop (Looks Perfect) **Went back to track still seeking my 11 sec pass **Finally did at Milan under the lights event 11.85@124 **Started working at SlowMotion Motorsports **Went to Nopi and sucked bad but watched my boss run back to back 9's in his hatch and win the Turbo 4 class!!! **Now my car is under the knife again 1000cc injectors, better intake manifold, and upgraded from Hondata S200 to S300 **Next we retune and redyno and hit the 600whp mark!! **This winter remove ABS and PS. That is All! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Spring time - Installed full header, developed hissing sound that is prevelant to this day. June - Received WW kit, did a half ass install, but it hung in there till Fall Summer/Fall - contemplated turbo set up, ordered some parts, changed mind, sold parts off. End of Fall - "winterized" car (17"s and WW kit came off) 2006 - probably put WW kit back on, but do it right. Maybe sell some parts off the car and ones I have lying around in preperation to sell the car. Hope to buy a newer, faster car come Summer time.

Kuruma Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Neon- Let them take the POS back. AE86- Blew it's head gasket on new years day. Spent january fixing it, got a delivery driver job using it, carb failed badly, car has been out of service since. RX-7 Bought it, drove it for a while, clutch went out, and had to move, I don't have it anymore. Prizm Bought it, hated it, sold it. Probe Bought it, got another delivery driving job, started fixing it, some asshole hit it and ran, been saving up to fix it. Metro Bought it the day after the hit and run happened, was smashed to fuck when I got it, spent some time at U-Wrench-It, and some money at Rolla's and it looks better now. I want to sell it, because it's boring and I got the probe driveable again, though smacked a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
