So i let my buddy take the evo for a drive (because he let me beat the hell out of cbr600 for a lil bit) So anyways we were driving down the road and then he started to get on it in 1st he grabbed 2nd, and then instead of going into 3rd he threw it into 1st. I swear to god i seen the tack spin around 3 times. I thought my car was ****ed. Well, everything seems to be working properly. Just thought I'd let you fellows know my exciting point of the night.

 

Wow... lucky nothing happened. That would be crazy, almost like going into reverse...

 

 

wow u are so lucky

 

ehh id still check the compression and do a leak down test to make sure everything is ok. how the hell do you go from 2nd to 1st lol...sorry to hear that

 

wow if i did that to someone's car, i would have to let them punch me in the face. that seriously sucks! hope everything is ok!

 

Next time you borrow his bike, "accidentally" forget to use the kickstand...

 

Ouch.

 

haha or ghost ride it into a tree

 

ya it sucked , not too really worried about it ne ways, ill check everything over tomorrow when i wake up, besides that he has been a good friend of mine since i was like 10, and he makes gobs of money he would pay for ne thing he broke. hes cool ,besides that he said that he going to go get one now and that he is in love with the car.

 

Did that at the track with my DSM once. I was logging with my safc and I don't even remember how high it went. It was some insane number.

it is amazing what these motors will take

 

I find that hard to believe. Yes I believe that he put it into first, but I can't believe that someone would ever feel the need to slam into a gear that hard -- it's never necessary. Going back into first when you're ready for third takes A LOT of force.

That's a common problem around the ls1 world. Often times the only damage is some bent pushrods though. But, since the evo is a totally differet valvetrain design, does anyone even know what would usually give first on a DOHC?

 

A thrown rod comes to mind. Or because its a known weakness, a snapped or slipped timing belt leading to bend valves.

 

i guess your buddy needs to learn how to drive stick
