lol, my car sux!
 

ok, so i broke some ringlands a few weeks ago, no biggie, replaced them with a couple stock used pistons, ran great for a few days, pulled hard as hell! then my head gasket starts leaking about a week or so ago (re used hg and head bolts :-X ), ok, no biggie, swap it out with a new one and some arp's wednesday night. alright, car should be good now, can't wait to rip on it. go rip on it for a bit, come home, smoke out of the breather again ::) (and for you want to talk ----, no, it's not the tune, i have a PERFECT 11.6:1 afr in boost, and i'm only running 14° timing at 12 psi, that's about as conservative as it gets!). alright, so ---- it, i can still run some 12's with broken ringlands, i've done it before, i'll do it again, right? so, on my way home from work, my oil pressure gauge is leaking, from INSIDE the car! now i have a puddle of oil on my floor board, shoes and pant legs covered in oil and my foots slipping off the clutch, i'm over it, i just keep driving home (from work). next up, my wb starts reading lean, but the car's running perfect, so i ASSume my dp has cracked (again) b/c my exhaust note had changed quite a bit also, well, i'm almost home, no biggie. about a mile from my house, the exhaust breaks completely off and is dragging on the ground, i just keep going, i'm pissed by now. take a turn, the exhaust swings out to the side, i run it over while turning, and now it's dragging sticking out the side of my car ::) pull in my drive way and it rips completely off, including my wideband that was attached. lol, how much ---- can go wrong in an hour ??? it's cool, i don't give a ----. i'm ripping the motor out, building my b18 block and not putting the car back on the road until it's ------- done and done right. i kept trying to rush things to get out to the track and get that timeslip every week, and look where it got me, i've learned my lesson and the next time that car's on the road, it'll be making well over 400whp (hopefully no longer than a month). that's my rant, and spenser, i look forward to your thoughts on this series of events :)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

suckage dude.

got pics? :D ;D

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

i'll get some today :D i didn't even want to look at it last night, but i think it's funny now.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

that blows. fix that ----, i want to see a time slip

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

Damn man, what the ----? Take some pictures, ---- happens just fix it and keep going.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

lol, if i didn't sell out after broken ringlands, then a blown head gasket, another set of broken ringlands, and a few *minor* other problems in less than month, i don't think i ever will ;)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

maybe its time to get an electric oil pressure gauge huh? ;)

or you can do it like the muffstang (er, mustang) :P guys and pop it on your hood ;D

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

---- Kevin, you're having some hard luck. :-X
Turn the boost down! my ls/vtec will be done soon too.. are you running a sleeved block?

Stan

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

did you salvage you WB sensor???

if not i have a VW one for you, brand new $30 shipped

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

---- NO!!!!! it's time to build the block and turn the boost up, never turn the boost down, just accomadate for more boost you ----- ;) i don't know if it will be sleeved or not, or even turbo, maybe motor, maybe spraying, everyone we'll find out when it's done :)

YES! i need it! pm me your pay pal.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

done.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

No turbo? I vote ban. :-*

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

damn kevin talk about bad luck. Yeah just do what you got to do and then boost the car. I can't believe all that happen in one hour. was there anyone behind you when your exhaust was dragging from the side?

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

Oh damn you ran your ---- over. Been there done that. I chargepipes blew off my dsm smic and it was the only thing hold it up in the wheelwell and I just monster trucked over that fucker. So I'm feeling yah on that one. Sorry about all the bad luck.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

"(and for you want to talk ----, no, it's not the tune, i have a PERFECT 11.6:1 afr in boost, and i'm only running 14° timing at 12 psi, that's about as conservative as it gets!)"

do you have EGT gauge? ... cause their is such a thing as too conservative on the timing, I think that running only 14 degrees might driven your EGTs too unsafe temps.

Neil

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

yes, i do have an egt, and tune numerous cars on a regular basis. 14° at full boost near red line is -.9° in the upper psi's, that's no where near too conservative, but also far from aggressive and my egt's were always in check at all times.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

that fucken sucks kevin. i had my exhaust fall off once. but it was while n/a. and i hit the speed bump right before my stupid house :-\. dont rush this ---- man. haha do it right and do it right the first time. with the ls/vtack that is

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

That sucks man. PICS PICS PICS

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

jesus christ. last night I was TRASHED AS HELL (I am still half drunk at 10am) and all I could think about was "i wonder how many passes kevins done"...

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

ummmmmmmmm, zero, i didn't even go out there to watch anybody run.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

That's some bad luck you got there...

And I thought I was having bad luck when I had to replace my clutch and headgasket within a month.

I'm glad you are staying in the game though, lot's of people would sell out after a run of bad luck like that. Good luck getting the next setup together!

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

that sucks ass man.



but God damn that's hilarious. a video of you pulling into the driveway would have been a HMT classic

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

---- still don't change till this day, still the same way. I'm glad my opinion is well appreciated. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. but yeah man, I kinda feel sorry for you. Think for a minute about how retarded you are, you're obviously doing something wrong bitch, you've tuned a couple cars, in what? the 6 months you've owned your wideband? Switch.

The same kinda ---- happened to me when I was trying to get the car ready for the track (hood flew up, downpipe fell off, timing belt skipped a tooth all in one day.) for the same reason, cause I got cursed by that bitch ass gypsie lady for engagin in a gross iniquity with her daughter jackie, it was wack.

I learned(the first time), and I'm sure you'll learn eventually, if that don't work, you can start a group with garth brooks (man my raps are gettin' easy, I'm thannkful for that, but don't be mistakin me black, or you be stinkin in the back of a cadalac)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

actually, i've tuned probably close to 15 cars since i've owned my own wideband, and before that, i would just make them pay for dyno time, and i've never blown a motor, except for mine, twice :-X i think the ringlands were just weak from the first time it blew, i re used two of the good one's, and i know the first time i blew it was because of the tune (or lack of actually), so they didn't break then, but were probably stressed and waiting for an excuse to break. don't hate me cause you ain't me :-* see, my wraps are good too :)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

This is why the stealth shuttle will be done in 2009. ;) Take your time. Saying you "rushed it" is just about like saying you "hotrexed it". :)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

yea man, If you wanted, the first time, was a lack of tune, a mistake, and this time, well a lack of good pistons. So I guess your proper tunes have never actually blown a motor. ;)

good luck with the b18.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

exactly ;)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

I hotrexed mine, beat the living piss out of it, ran it with no DP and a spring WG for a few months, then 3 weeks before I sell the car, I put a WG and a shitty DP on it, ran a solid 9 psi, beat the living hell out of it every ------- day, boosted everywhere I went to and never once had a problem with it. i dont get it? ohh yeah, and I had 175,000 miles and 180comp across the board. the guy who bought it is still "franking" the car. ;) did I just have that great of luck?

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

same scenerio with my first turbo set up on the b16, beat the ---- out of it with as much as 15 psi for almost a year, never had one problem, ---- it.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

pictures? ;)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

oh man, now thats some shitty ass luck. Cant believe your ringlands went at that boost/timing. I know if I was running your setup at 12lbs and stock C/R, I would have run exactly 14* up top as well.
Thumbs up on not being a big a ----- ass sell-out :) We should compare 'piston' collections sometime O0

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

give me a little time to catch up, i haven't been breaking them as long as you have ;)

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

If I didn't feel your pain that would be funny as hell. Just keep plugging away at it.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

damn i hope im luckier than you after my ringland rebuild... ls pistons and 11 psi

well see how she holds up.

i got a new project in the works, itll be turbo and yes its american, and no its not a mustang. csaddict knows the deal.....

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

:D You’re a certified Dumbfuck :D

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

kevizzle, are you using stock plugs? I think its time for 2 steps colder. If the plugs get too hot itll ping nomatter what your afr's are

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

There is a simple word that we use in the industry to describe this..


hack

:P

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

Oh ----, that ---- must have been funny. :D I remember the first boosted drive in my most recent Civic I would turn the corner at the end of my street and the ------- ghetto ass exhaust would pop off as soon as I got on it. Then I would have to drive home dragging my exhaust. Fun times.........

Doesn't that make you feel like you drive a pile of ---- for a car? :P

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

i beat the piss outta mine for 10 months at 11 psi, only thing that happened was the 12 year old original timing belt finally gave out after all the abuse.

Re: lol, my car sux!
 

Wow, that's some suckage. I've had some pretty bad issues like this when my first motor went. honda for life O0
