If I recall I pulled my motor myself 2 times, and have done everything imaginable to it minus installing valve guides and honing out my block.
3 people is all the time?

please don't pretend you some engine builder now.......I think your everything imaginable is bit far fetched. Since you just said your motor was assembled by nate and other (NOT at SBR). People that do everything have a lot more experience and more knowledge to share than complementing on every other car in the show/shine forum.

And pulling a motor is not really anything to brag about nor makes you some great mechanic.

good stuff though....

On this page you will see pictures of me driving my EVO to up at Beaver Run on the kart track. That alone is worthy of a click. That evo was a stock turbo 05 that ran a respectable 12.4 on pump gas and is stilling running strong as recent as christmas.

But the REAL GEM is when you scroll down a bit to here
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/5435000-post8712.html

You'll see Erics instructions on how he defrauded stores out of movies and video games. That's fraud you and I pay for folks.


Anyone else want to call up cosworth their number is right here. http://www.cosworthusa.com/contact.asp
So did you call them? And im sure they are going to say straight up "yeah, we make junk cams, dont buy them"

its called a redesign of almost all the companies who made them...


And that was a copy and paste I had found elsewhere, but did share it foolishly with the thread thinking there would be some humor involved it in?

Its a little different in drag racing, they dont give out a sympathetic trophies to all 360 cars that show up that evening as a thank you for participating, nor do they have classes based off of tires and engine mods...

When they hand out trophies, its for being a total bad *** and making a 1000hp and getting it down the track in 8 seconds or less. Not a daily driver normally, and not a 4 cyl.
oh really? because from what i recall there are usually several different classes set up for many of the types of drag racing such as bracket racing.

if you think they give out sympathetic trophies you're obviously sadly mistaken. why don't put up or shut up? come out and race against me. let's see who finishes first. or you can continue to talk about how awesome you are on here. your choice.

ahaha okay, let me just drive out 450 miles and race you on my one day off per week... I would be there at 8 tonight, what track is open?

Put up or shut up? thats a strong line. I have been calling you fools out for 5 years and now you finally have the ***** to do so? I will let that one slide as if your gf was sitting next to you and you wanted to impress her.



Oh and bracket racing.. Goooood one bracket racing in an evo is not the easiest thing to do.. They have test/tune... 4 runs max, no money trophies or anything..

its not what you think. They do points over a season, and the winner is the winner.

Also let us not forget that Eric is the same guy who put his manual boost controller in backwards. This was on his first of three engines.

Also Eric also did some work for a fellow EVO owner. He thanked him by quite possibly stealing a red hallman MBC off one of his cars. Of course he denied it and the mystery was never solved. No one else had ever touched the car though. It just up and disapeared while under Erics care.

uhm, let it slide? i've called you out to do something other than straight line racing several times and you've never sacked up. so i will just take this as another pass on your part.

it doesn't have to be soon, in fact it can't. as of next week i will be unable to drive my car for about 3 months, so it would be better if we did this in 2011 when you were back in town.

if you decide you want to accept, i am a patient man. i can wait until you move back from ky.

if they run a wilson circuit event next year i would be all about that.

hell i'll even go in for the north track. in fact i would prefer the north track. that way we would both be as close as possible in level of experience on the particular course.

much like your standard duel though that is the choice of the person being challenged. so if he accepts, i will allow him to choose the course.

first of all that was rob himlers car. the car was forsale on a dealer lot that the car was test driven over 100 times at least. purcahsed 2 times actually and returned because it was leaking oil EVERYWHERE. His daddy bought it for him because he insisted on it, and they couldnt sell it for nothing but $24,000 after he paid $27,000 3 months before that.

The car was junk and I never touched it. I worked on his black one.

I put a MBC in backwards? when And also please name the 3 engines that I have had...

NAME THE 3 engines that I bought....



You cannot even mod your own car... You bought Rob Himlers white evo that was already tuned with cams and TBE and a few other goodies.... Then drove it as if you accomplished something. Yea right buddy, might as well search for a 500whp one on ebay and race it. you can tell everyone how fast the car you just bought was.... AHAHA

you can keep deflecting, or you can simply say yes or no and we can schedule against an event.

no back peddling on this one eric. if you don't want to do it, just say so. i won't think any less of you as a person. mainly because my opinion of you is so low already i don't think that would be possible.
