my return... and updates...

god, it's been forever...
don't know if anyone remembers me...
riiiiiiiiight...

my engine is blown.
again.

from a highway race.
my fault, oh well...

long story short, some goofball in an orange accord is flying onto the freeway...
i catch, pass, then slow down.
twice.
he's crazy.

so i pass him again.
130ish.
then i see the oil pressure gauge drop. clutch in.
car dies.

roll to the side of the road. restart, rod knock. damn.

i knew i needed to add oil, apparently more than i thought...
my fault completely.
but the engine had 100k miles on it, driven the way i do.
F'ing good for this car...

and i just got it painted last summer!

(the last 5 pages of my page are the build up of the body... www.cardomain.com/id/flylwsi)

so...
back in the shop...
new 58mm tb (stock is 54)
new 8lb. fidanza flywheel (stock is 22)
new act clutch
possibly new cams
new whatever's broken...

and a new set of rims...

5zigen just introduced the fno1rc in a black wheel with silver lip.
17x7's with avs es100's...

oh well...
in a couple weeks, she's gonna be sick

Glad to have you back. I was a very young member when you left, but I remember your sarcastic/witty comments very well. Glad to have you back.

PS. I can think of a few other people that would not mind saying hello to you, but please refer to my signature.

Rob

Re: my return... and updates...

You should stick with the heavier flywheel....light flywheels belong in light cars.

Not really feelin the conversion but it's your car, I thought it looked fine with stock tails.



FREE WILLY!

Teh King Has Returned (Owning that is)

Sorry to hear about the lude. So is it safe to say you got beat by the Accord, or will I get owned for making a stupid comment like that?
Good to see another Honda member in these forums. Oh and welcome back. L8...

well...
the tails were free, the conversion was free, and it's uber unique...
had to do something fun with it... why not...

light cars and light flywheels.
my car is maybe 2700lbs as it sits stripped.

not heavy at all (not a hb lightweight, but light)

and it's got tq... something civics generally don't... i'm not worried...

the accord only beat me if you count him coming back from 7 car lengths and passing me after i put the clutch in and coasted to the side of the road.

i caught him (i came up behind him when he got on the free way) and passed him. then let off.
he flew by me.
i caught him (he was going 80ish) and passed him at 110 and never looked back.

i don't think he won at all...
