Just paint scratched along the lip of my door. They took off after my alarmed warned them otherwise they would've been in the hospital with a hole in their ***.

I wished my 2way beeped more than once when it warns people, I would've caught their ***


Tell him its Mr brake pads and Spoonage! Lol

Wanna sell that cobra???

 

lol. Thieves don't mess with me luckily but I keep it safe. It would be a pretty big mistake though I'll say that. I'll throw brake pads into their faces lol.

Nah I like it too much. I had it up fs for a week or so and pulled it back down haha. Its too comfy, I just gotta fix the position so that it doesn't sit so upright.

 

Damn Ed that sucks! You live on the islands right? i thought the thieves were only in and around Providence.

 

hahahahahahaha.

just real quick. i went out and drove my buddy's e36 m3 at an autox yesterday. it was my first time driving a rwd car in 4 years. it definitely "handles" better than the white van. my first run was a 55 and my last and final run was a 46 with traction control owning my face. it was a great time, but made for a long day. driving a rwd car almost feels "easier", as in no plowing and there is uhhh torque involved. speaking of daily drivers, i might actually try to find a miata now, too fun!

Most of the time its a crackhead trying to get my radio around here..
Just would've liked to make an example out of em lol


I liked how your seat sat, feels perfect for racing. Dunno if I could sit in it for extended amounts of time tho...


I think I'm gonna tune my car next week on stock cams for now. Getting tired of cleaning black **** off the back my car

 

Nah no islands for me, lived there for a while but moved once I had my kid.
Too small, too much drama n bullshit.

I'm close to providence now.

I'm trying to think if anyone followed me out yesterday that I didn't know...

 

Damn thats ****ed up. How do you know someone tried to get in? And what prevented them getting in?

EDIT: Saw everyones posts afterwards.

 

They was trying to jimmie my door and the alarm warned em

Apparently they thought the blue light lighting my interior every second was for fashion

 

Lol. Damn that sucks homie.

So are you going to take any precautions now due to that?

 

Just to fill everyone in on a little update from friday thru the weekend:

My friend Gabe, my Gf, and I Went to Cincinatti to get the car tuned by Dave Blundell early Friday morning. Ran into a few issues with the RF interference with the ignition box and the coil tryin to distort the electronics of the dyno, but Dave ironed those out after pulling a little bit of his hair out lol. The first pull was done with no added boost, on wastegate spring and made 406whp. A few pulls later the car maxed out the injectors at just over 500whp. At this point I didnt have many options. I could either raise the base fuel pressure to around 90psi or go and pick up a set of ID2000s from Total Performance Racing. We tried raising the fuel pressure up and making a pull but the pump didnt like it up top, so they pulled the car off the dyno while I went off to TPR to get the bigger injectors.

After getting the injectors and picking up lunch, we headed back to the dyno to install the injectors so Dave could finish up the tune. After a couple pulls the car was making 550whp without even messing with the timing tables.

The last pull he made was 619whp at 26psi when timing belt shot off the cam gears bringing them to a complete stop at 9,000 rpms. Ummm WTF!! My initial thoughts were that the valves are all destroyed. We pulled the valve cover off and saw that everything seemed to be intact, which was puzzling. So with less than a day left to get down to Bowling Green, my head is destroyed. Lovely.

Gabe looks at me and says "Dude, you built this car and have been talking about getting it down to BG since day one, you are takin your car tomorrow. I dont care. I can fix it. It will take all night but I will do it."

I didnt know how it was gonna happen but I figured why not, the guy is crazy fast at fixing hondas and has never steered me wrong yet. So we loaded up and headed back home to Indy. Gabe made a few phone calls and got Jason and Vince over to help out with an extra set of hands. We rolled the car into his garage at around 12:00am and started checking a few things. First thing we noticed was a small nut sitting on the timing side of the block. Then it hit me, the nut was from the fuel rail stud. It must have loosened up and fell into the timing belt causing it to shoot off the cam gears!! Then we did a compression test and yielded 180psi across the board, WEIRD!!! Then Jason hand spun the crank and noticed a clunking resistance. Initial thoughts were that the crank was broken, but it turned out to be that the flywheel bolts backed out! So while I went to drop a buddies truck off, they pulled the transmission and replaced the flywheel and flywheel bolts. The car was good to go by the time I got back (2:00am ish). Such a relief! If it wasnt for them I wouldnt have been able to take the car down!

Got the car down to BG and took it off the trailer that night. At this point, I had only make a few 2nd to 3rd gear pulls. The first 3rd to 4th pull I made on the interstate was racing a gt500. Definatly did not expect it to roll out like it did! Crazy fast to me. After that pull I did a few more by myself to get the feel for the car and then noticed that the car wouldnt make anymore boost. Got off the interstate by our hotel and saw that the turbo was locked up. The damn turbine housing bolts backed themselves out and jammed the wheel into the housing. Not only that but the coolant overflow had filled up and spewed coolant all over the engine bay and the oil dipstick was sticking out about an inch with oil everywhere. Good stuff right? I knew the turbine wheel was going to have some damage from machining itself down against the housing. It seemed like when the turbo locked up it created so much pressure in the block that it lifted the head which would explain the coolant and oil all over the engine bay.I just wasnt sure because there was no water on the plugs.

After tightening the bolts back down, the turbo was spinning freely by hand with no apparent issues. At this point I was ready to call it a night. Loaded the car back on the trailer and went to bed.

We got back home yesterday night at around 9ish and after I pulled the car off the trailer I removed the downpipe to inspect the turbine wheel. It seemed to be machined down slightly. So the turbo is going to have to be sent back to precision for repair this winter. I put it back together and fired it up and let it idle to watch the water temps. Never once got hot even making some slow speed pulls. Since my gf did not get a chance to ride in it I figured we would go out in the country and datalog a pull or two. Went 3rd to 4th and then let out going into fifth at which point steam and coolant shot out of my downpipe and all over my windshield. Got out and opened the hood to find coolant sitting inside the downpipe. Trailered it home at midnight. I didnt tear into it last night since it was already so late and I had to be at work at 8am this morning. Hopefully its just a head gasket since I feel like it would be hard to crack the AEBS sleeves that my engine has in it. I will find out tonight when I pull it apart. I'm still going to try and get it back together for the track on Wednesday! I havent lost hope yet!!

 

Nuts! Thats awesome man sounds beast even though you ran into one issue after the other. Pretty lucky too IMO!

 

Lol not so lucky after last night tho. A Blown head gasket is the very LEAST amount of damage that may have occured last night.. I should have a new one tomorrow morning.

 

Holy **** bro. That sounds like a pain, but glad nothing major major major happened.

 

That I know of so far! Im hoping for the best of the worst lol.

 

All i can say is holy ****

 

Yep. I told you I was having some issues. Lol.

 

Thats an understatement. Man! Hope you figure it out.

 

I put my apexi ws back on...

My top end is caca

Just got some brand new b. crower springs and ti retainers for a ls in a trade if anyyone is interested..

 

Yo those spring I have sitting around are Tein S.techs. The name really escaped me at the meet lol

 

How much u want and what's the drop on them?

 

They sell for like 150 new IIRC. These were used for about a year so they're still pretty mint nothing wrong with them. I was asking 100 for them but I can give you an eH squad hook up price. My tires are 195/50/15 for reference. Also they ride pretty comfy IMO, handles nice too.

 

how can you forget tiens??? lol....

 

and holy 4x4 batman!

 

lmao nah, I was super caked from a longass week. I said they were teins s something lol, type s, s type, i dont even know! But I knew it was tein s.....
