Science Abuse Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Looks like...is that a turbo motor? I just got some flashes of the valve cover. Familiar with these guys at all? We *thought* that there weren't any turbo cars out there, and figured it was because everyone knew beater bewst is risky in a 24 hr race. These guys are good with a camera, and the car looked quick...but it totally fell apart. By the end they had 2 wheels ready to fall off. I think the 24hrs of Lemons is you're kind of race.

Rally Pat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah, it sounds NA to me too. Didn't hear any spooling/distorted exhaust note when it was driving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 im pretty sure thats NA... the resonance in the exhaust note is almost Honda like on the NA motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I didn't want to go by sound, because it may not "noise" as much when it's unfuktwith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 There's nothing wrong with n/a, not enough power to break anything like mine!!! +1 My car probably has less than 100 rwhp, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to do major maintenance and still have 3 fingers left over.

Dr. Apex Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm at none, hell other than the timing belt, hoses, and wear parts, my car has all the stuff on it that it came with from Normal Il, even the clutch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I counted shocks as major maintenance, although I guess it's not that major. But that just leaves the clutch that we replaced around 50000, and might need it again already (stupid glazing ). Everytime I think to myself how nice it would be to have a built, quick car, I remind myself how reliable the car is right now, and I'd just rather not mess with a good thing .

coltboostin Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Its n/a. JP already knows about it. There was a post on columbusdsm awhile back. Yeap. The guys that put the car together are a funny bunch! As already stated, its NA. If I had the time, I would love to do the event, but I think our Grass Roots efforts are more rewarding at the end of the day. I put together an NA car for a guy up here. With I/H/E it went 14.6@I dont remember. He was happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Their promo site shows 3 drivers...rules said they needed 4. They also didn't list any crew. I didn't count heads when I was there...Are they a funny enough bunch to come to a 24 hour race with just 3 people!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
