funny story..could have blown a motor...possibly
RANT: ohk, so im on the freeway goin like i dunno, 120 mph haha ...ystrdy i had installed some new coilovers which are stiff as hell
so i hit bumps hard all the time. so im driving hit a bump and start smelln fuel
inside the cabin, motor shuts off on a incline of the frwy. im like wtf , did the battery come undone(remote locator). so as i start driftn backwards on the frwy i manage to somehow get to the shoulder. look for the problem and wallah, the fuel T for my nk kit came off. being smart, i carry 0 tools w/ me so i managed to use a bottle cap on the feeder to undo the clamp and reclamp it. start it up and its fine..get off frwy and about 30 yards and clunk , motor cuts. same prob except this time im stalled in the ghetto.
moral of story, -> have tools
-> never use the POS NX nitrous fuel T
(why the hell does nx make a T so small on both ends..its not even beveled arghh)

Re: funny story..could have blown a motor...possibly (rOby)
wow...
EXACTLY the same thing happend with my friend and i in his accord, minus the 120mph and the coilovers.
We were just cruisin in the ghetto (just got bottle filled) car stalls... we pulled into some gas station and re-attached the fuel T and tightened the **** out of it....
apparently it was too tight and the clamps went right through the fuel line, so we went to home depot, got a new T that was bigger. Worked great.
