Dude just blow that car up. Your car is broken more than my friend and brother's 90 DSMs put together.

Eric, I hope you did not take it the wrong way. I am very happy with the work and love how the car ride now. I know I am in that situation where 2.0 vs. 2.3 will only differ by a little bit.I am very happy I went with the 2.3. It just bragging right when I tell someone I have a stroker motor and they ask about hp numbers. Just like Kevin said the car is a blast to drive now and I will look into getting that 50 trim of your in the future. I can tell the car will be a beast on the road course now. I can't wait till next season.

And yes, the kid DID make it back into his own lawn.................after hitting his mailbox first!!

It rolls with no problems at all. Engine is fine. Guess I/we have to wait till it is torn down. maybe the clutch exploded? I don't know, but will SOON! Thanks for the input!

I think it's the turbo gods letting you know it's time for a bigger turbo

Whatever is wrong (i'm curious) good luck with getting her fixed... Racing season is pretty much over so at least you've got that going for ya

PS: I read that you're only running 22-23psi on wingedwarrior? It seems your quest for 11's is only a few psi away!

A similar thing happend to mine recently, and it was the clutch gears that wore out. Motor ran fine, car rolls fine and goes into gear, but let the clutch out and it sound like a grinding sound. When we pulled the clutch out, all the gears from both clutch plates were gone and not to mention a fair amount to damage to the spline.

I have to agree- for someone with the Evo luck of Schleprock, you have the best attitude of probably anyone in the world. You're probably happier than Bill Gates! Are you self medicating? If so, I need some! In between breaking stuff, you should be a motivational speaker because I don't know anyone so upbeat! Plus your posts are always funny.
