yea you were probably Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. you blew welds on the intake! I bet your floor panels fell out too and you had to tell the computer to shut up.

Ryan96gsr, I really don't know why your car would have shut down, but you may have seriously f***ed something up in the engine, like scewed up your valvetrain, or something like that.

oh i did also upgraded the brakes system and the suspension system, and i rebulided and re wired the car since last october but didnt rebuild the engine, just changed the belts, everything else was original but was checked to be in good working order too, i wouldnt do that speed either if i didnt work on this car myself!

There should only be two wires that you need to mess with.. If you are messing with anything else, then definately double check them. See if you are getting spark.
