    Default Calling it quits... Damn a fwd!!!!!

    Just what the title sais... Im done with hondas and will have tones of things up forsale soon. Finnally got car shifting right and broke oil pump into 3 pieces and spun #2 rod before i could catch it. This was my fourth motor, im only 22 with a wife 2kids that dont work and my own house and cars. This isnt a daddy and mommy funded car like some other ppl on here and im simply sick of dumping money into it. 30k in a honda that only sees the tra,k very few times a year isnt for me. Car was just way too much, i admit that it got way out of hand and was never intended to go this far. im giving ppl i know first chance at anything they may need so lmk if any of u need anything. Ill be posting fs threads here in the next day or two. I close this car with my pb of 6.51 @111 1/8th and many fun kill stories of v8guys with big heads and biker boys that never would have dreamed of a honda pulling on them so hard.

    Special thanks to jimmy at jjspec if it werent for him my car would have never made it this far. Super nice guy and great shop!!

    Any one need anything and want to grab it before i post it up 7065877278... I know one of these allmotor boys want h22a sleeved, 99mm k24 crank, aluminum k20 rods, and 90mm 13.5:1 custom wisecos assembled by kaizenspeed????

    Time to come to the dark side.... RWD


    Sucks that you had all of these issues. Anything fast is bound to have issues though. Take a day or two to make certain that you really want to get rid of it. Don't do anything rash - that will just cost you more money.

    What are your goals, and what do you have to work with?

    Desired ET?
    Budget for engine/trans?
    Budget for entire build?
    Timeframe allowed for building it (when does it need to be on the road)?

    Didn't even think about it actually. That car has been sitting in my driveway so long, I don't even notice it.

    Since you reminded me.... HEY OP! Come buy a Supra!!!!

    One that needs a home with someone who cares about it. I've listed it here before, but no one has any money, so it sits.

    well no time frame and ill have about 25k to get going. Ill never be out of the game and ive broke more shit and replaced more parts on my car than 98% of any honda owner on here... Only way u could anymore serious with a honda is to go rwd... Southeast is no place for a $30k plus hatch when there is only a handful of event and only a handful of ppl to compete with.

    i hate to see another race guy quit... if it is the family ( wife and kids ) why ur quitting then i totally understand. if its because u blew up then i think u need to get an oil pump and a crank and get to work... this is racing and things are gonna break
    Prime example, on sunday i dyno my car to set up my boost controller. after i made the power i wanted, i was getting ready to put the car on the trailor when i asked morris to double check my 2 step to see how much boost im building on the launch control. when he got in and started the car, the intake cam gear slipped and went back all the way, bending a few valves. wat did i do. i laughed and said ill just lift the head on monday and see the damage.
    bottom line is dont qi=uit doing wat u love unless u absolutely have to. hit me up if anything

    For $25k, you can easily buy a car with your requirements already done.
    I would suggest that you aim for an older muscle car though, just because over time it can gain value, rather than losing value.

    If you just want fast, look for an x275 car (probably will be a Mustang), and you can get a car that runs low 5's in the 1/8.

    deff thought it was but after adjusting staic pressure on the clutch it shifted so much better... not perfect but turned a 6.5 @ 111 in the 1/8th which is awesome for me so it sould deff be some of the prob but the guy that had it before me had know probs and i know bc i rode and drove before i bought it

    oh yeah Z0SICK doesn't do the dragstrip so he doesn't realize what 6.5 @ 111 means...

    111mph = 162 ft/sec

    if you just stopped flooring it at the 1/8th mile marker, and maintained 111mph...

    you'd cover the remaining 660ft in 4.05 seconds. which would end up as a 10.50 with only running the 1st half of the track

    I bet that run would be about a 10.0 or 10.1 in the 1/4, a little over 140mph. easily into the 9s with more track time.

    so... nice time dude and don't give up if you love building or driving the car. If you sell it all you'll lose all the time you've spent on it, which is probably more valuable than the cost of the parts.

    thanks and yea I was pretty speachless when I got the slip... Had to double check to make sure it was me lol especially with a 1.6 60ft. Felt great and it would be nive to be able to fix it and make it to showdown... Hell my wife even basically cried when I told her I was parting it out. I just have so much time and money invested in it Unlike zosick this car is built by me not bought with some boltons. Yea its a vette and its nicer than my car but yea...
