Well ya can't blame everyone for thinking yer car is fuxored. It sounds crappy and is old as hell. If it smells like a rat, looks like a rat, guess what.
good to hear that it is running well though. I like the go-kart. What engine is on there?

1. we got the injectors installed
2. put the fuel line all back together
3. car wouldnt start
4. figured out that mr. old time muscle man had tightened the cap down extremly tight, so we backed it off a bit
5. bam! the car fired right off
6. i get out of the car to see kevin with the camera rolling
7. first things first "lets hear the turbo" so straight for the throttle *vroom vroom* -video rolling...
8. lets go for a ride
(look at my temp gauge in the car- the ------- engine was still 100% cold when we took it out)
the car is running good

no offense to any of you, but seriously, we would know if the car was ------- running on 3 cylinders for the last time, the car was freezing cold when that was recorded, had only ran for like 10 seconds, that right there is dumping extra fuel in, not to mention a straight up basemap with no tuning that is more than likely a little rich to begin with. add those too, you have a pretty rich situation, which as most of you 'should' know, causes lack of throttle response, bogging, hesitation, etc. that on top of the fact with no dp at all, not even a piece, of course the car sounds like *** the car runs great once it warmed up, and in the part of the vid where he gets on it a little, you can tell that, i believe that was a puny 4psi 2nd gear pull, not even winding the gear out and then shifting to 3rd and letting off b/c it was in a residential area, but yet you can still tell the car sounds much better than in the first part of the vid, no it's not losing power, he wasn't even getting on it :P anyways, we'll get some pics/vid of a leak down test and proof that all cylinders are firing, and video/audio of the car warmed up. i really don't even know why i care, but it's funny to hear all of swear that the car is fucked and running on 3cylinders and blew ring lands after it idled for 30 seconds, etc. i was there, the car runs fine :P *end rant*
