Don't get your car tuned and then try to up the boost just a 'little' to beat someone. Major oooooops.
950whp+Third Gear Pull+10,000RPM+Exedy = ↑↑↑↑↑ DESTRUCTION! Parts ruined -Tranny -Transfer case -IC Piping -Intercooler -Radiator -Radiator Fan -BOV -Downpipe -Hood -Battery But man was that one hell of a 3rd gear pull
Didn't mean to thread jack coolrex....just figured carnage pictures were in order I miss that car sometimes...1017 WHP on 55psi, and would dead hook a brake boost in 2nd gear...waaaahhhooooo!!!
No worries on the thread jack Cicio...I'm glad you did. I didn't realize you had that strong an Evo once. Holy cow! Bet you had TONS invested in it.
Yeah that car was amazing, but there was one of my old STIs that will always have my heart Not only was she SO well done, but I built it ground up (except for the shortblock) myself. There is something about turning every bolt yourself and then sitting in the car while it performs that is just so damn satisfying! You know what I mean don't you coolrex I will share a couple pictures of her too Figure if I am going to jack this thread I might as well do it right Her name was Myah (She was Asian )
Finally someone understands me when I boasted my joy in being 100% self built.....and coming from a guy that is a salesperson for a top shop that means a lot! And Cicio that STi was BEAUTIFUL!
I sold it because I was on to new things. I built the Evo after the STI (that STI was my 3rd one) and then I sold the Evo, bought another STI and built a 830whp E85 Civic (not sure what I was thinking there) The most recent STI is the white one in our shop that we are building right now for my street toy. The car is in NJ now, the guy blew it up and then had EFI rebuild it. Still one of the nicer STi's around IMO
Hehe, no I read all of it... I just had a brain fart I guess. For some reason I thought it was your E46!!
