Those pesky street tuning monkies
 

Well, it was a long first day but thanks Joe for your patience. Unfortunately the car didn't last very long:( but it was a good experience.

Thanks to TSR for the screwdriver and the crank key thingy and JDL for his bad ass welding. Feel free to take the pictures down if you like Joe.







Really expensive paper weight






Probably why we couldn't find a dang screwdriver



Hope you didn't mind me walking around taking pics of the top secret stuff.

LMAO wonder shy it's 90 degrees out

was this the one that was stolen?

Yes it was

So your motor blew up on the dyno today?

it looks good besides that hole, glad you guys got it back

The thieves blew the engine up?

No no no no. Sorry for the confusion. That's joecash's paper weight, the one he blew at ifo Tucson?

We recovered the shell, but it was sold already. All that's left of the car are this pictures.

And no, contrary it made 470hp and 300trq.

That was my motor from IFO Phoenix. :) 12,000 rpm on the rev limiter and water in the combustion chamber do some fun things! :) The motor had a lot of low 8 second passes, so I still consider it a success. If you're not breaking things, you aren't trying hard enough in this game.

As for the Del Sol, that really sucks that it was stolen. :(

12k?! And true story haha! Wish I was "done" with my motor and jocash tuned lol.

yea, it's horrible, I must have the worst luck in the world, my dads civic was stolen today.

I need to retire:(

on a brighter note, I have another sleeved block so hopefully if nothing gets worse I'll see the dyno to make 500 plus by the end of the year.

its not luck. its the side of town you reside in. anything west of the 17 is no bueno for hondas :(

granted east of the 17 is not much better but you get what i am saying

doesn't matter where you are, Hondas are just too easy to steal.

location does play a part and yes hondas are easy to steal no argument there :type:

i got my e.g. stolen twice and recovered twice
