    Too late..Dan already guessed it.We shot a rod through the block tonight out on the street. It was good stuff. Now there is just one delimma. Should we:

    1. Put the built motor that we already have into the car (not sure I want to do this since we want to sell it)
    2. Put a stock block back in it with the same set up with pistons and rods added.
    3. Put the car back entirely stock (maybe this way easier to sell)

    wow... I thought you all were going to be more friendly than that. I have no idea why you two feel the need to talk shit and start drama... especially when I'm one of your sponsored customers, Tracy. I assumed we were friends, even when we're not doing business, however, you can post whatever you want... I'm not the type of person who likes drama or shit-talk. Good luck with the new progress of the car, I'll call sometime next week and see how Dan is doing with it.

    What are you talking about? I didn't talk any shit. I posted that my car blew up....it's my car! Are you mad because I said it was more than a car and a half? If that's the case...oh well. I don't see that as shit talking. I figured you would post the video anyways. I was kidding about the rubbing is racing, but I guess now your feelings are hurt.

    So we sponsor you, huh? I thought we did, too. I'll choose to not get into that though.

    Tracy I think you guys should put the Evo back to stock and sell it......and use your built 2.3liter for my car. But that's what I would do....j/k

    I was the closest to the two during the race..... (the White Supra for those of you who dont know) From my perspective, it seemed as though the blue evo got the jump, but Dan pulled ahead. I cannot verify the CL though..... it was a DAMN good race if you asked me.... if the race would have continued without the "incident" im sure Dan would have continued to pull - simply because 500whp > 389whp....

    You guys DO have to admit..... Charles has a fucking RESPECTABLE car to say the least.... for the mods that he has.... I raced him myself - no need to go into that, im sure the videos will surface soon enough...


    At any rate.... GOOD RUN!!!! Sorry things had to turn out they way that they did. It was good to see all of you out there!!!!

    PS Tracy, you owe me a SHOP RAG DAMNIT !!!!!!

    so i've read like 6 pages of it. What happened? why the rod snap? Too much power for the rod to handle or was it caused by denotation?

    I don't know the details of the EVO's engine spec but do Evos come with foreged rods and pistons?

    What happened?
    Threw a rod.


    why the rod snap?
    Same reason most rods snap. See below.


    Too much power for the rod to handle
    It seems to be pointing to that.


    do Evos come with foreged rods and pistons?
    No.

    Here's what happened

    so the rods were stock and couldn't handle the power.

    There's more to a race than just horsepower. Just because a car has more horsepower does not mean it'll beat you. I've proved this time after time after time... from a stop & from a roll.

    YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME???? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THIS DUMB?!?

    MAN, YOU MUST NOT KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT CARS.

    POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO MAN, POWER TO WEIGHT.

    THAT 350HP IS PUSHING A 2100-2300LB CIVIC AND THE 500HP WAS ON A HEAVIER CAR (i dunno the weight specs on the evo).

    Dude...Charles has a respectable car! I was talking about my car that blew up tonight. So if we want to continue talking about that, I think we'll all be in good shape. Ya'll are my peeps.

    I really need to think about what we should do now. Keep in mind that I need a c6

    I think I'll do a poll in the morning. I'm to tired right now.

    Hope you enjoyed the picture show.

    in all reality, depending on the next project youw ant to do, Id say drop a stock block in there, sell it. Find a 1g to drop the 2.3 in.......but also wondering, whyd you go with a 2.3 instead of just 2.4ing it? I mean if your going to run something you can rev as high with a 63 in it why not get that little extra bit. im working on my 2.4 right now, and keep wondering why peopel go 2.3.

    But alas, stock block, use the 2.3 in a 1g for a track car to bust up on everyone...evos are getting played out anyways. I say a 16 yr old with one, and that ruined it.
