we might be doing some work on my evo, maybe you can shoot me a quote of just spraying?

 

What were you doing in CT? I see a post by a certin someone (girl with an srt4)
looking to set up a St. race for a certain someone with a Black Evo.You don't happen to know anything about that do you Paul? Check out that "other" local site....

 

I was visitin family. Talked to Dan tonight, and then I was going to call you, but my phone's battery died.

I dont know anything about St races.
I will have to check out that site

 

The driver side door latch froze on the sentra this morning, with me in the car. I almost blew a gasket.

 

lolololol

 

paul did you ever end up seeing what was up with your car...ice never sounded right to me..

 

naw i didn't really look at it anymore. everything has been running fine since tho. ice still seems like a very suspect reason still to me too...

 

My vote is that he hit some black ice. Judging by the way he drives his car, and babies this thing, clearly seems like it was black ice. By all means I am not dissin you Paulnsx, but you put more into keeping this car like it was when you first picked it up than anyone else I have ever met. Which is a good thing for future resale. I may shed a tear if you keep this thing a virgin till your 100k warranty expires I am sure the car is fine. Usually if a clutch is slipping like that, it doesn;t just stop or go away. Problem persists and will get worse. Like I said, this wan't a dis. Black ice can be a killer.

I'll tell you something scary...trying to find a vibration that increased with engine rpm. To find out after a week of chasing down the issue that it was a failed t-belt tensioner and caused the belt to jump 2 teeth on the exh cam pulley . That was scary. It was almost a new motor for me when that happened!!

 

it definitely wasnt my clutch cuz i wasnt engaging the clutch when it happened nor do i evar beat on my clutch. the only time my clutch has ever slipped was once or twice when the restrictor pill caught and i gunned it (dextor was with me one of these times).

i am sure my car is fine but i'm still not totally buying the black ice thing. it could have been black ice, but i guess i just dont feel like the tires were spinning at the time but i could be wrong. the whole thing happened so quickly and i was mad tired at the time. plus for the gear i was in the tires would have had to go from ~60 mph to almost 100 mph and i shoudl have noticed that!

teh evo will in all likelihood never get sold and she will most likely not be a virgin for more than 2 more years.

 

tim, btw, can you get me some of that maf cleaner? or tell me where to get it? when i charge my k&n filter, do i just spray some of that stuff on the maf?

 

I'm not totally disputing the ice theory, just saying it's awd. If one wheel was slipping, I don't think the revs would rocket up like that..(maybe I'm wrong?). I think if I were travelling at 50 mph or their by close to that in 3rd to 4th gear, and I hit ice, I think it would be more noticeable than just revs jumping...?I don't think it is the clutch either..maybe just some other weird one time thing, most likely...Evo just didn't like driving that night..lol

 

Well if the speedo didn't shoot up then the clutch slipped. If the speedo did shoot up it was ice. It is a mechanical system so its not like something magical happened. OR maybe it did....

 

i agree with you paul. i dont remember the speedo moving at all, but again i could be wrong. it happened to quick its kinda hard to tell

i think all the stars aligned and my evo went into psychopath mode! were-car anyone?

 

Paul's evo have a ghost in it?

 

Where is everybody again?
