Get off MY nuts.

I wasn't really on his, just wanted some empirical information. I like things clarified. The internet is supposed to be a source of information, but has been plagued with way too much MIS-information.

If there is new information out there about a subject I am interested in, I want as many of the facts as possible. I'm sure you are the same way about things you are interested in.

 

Sounds like someone has been hanging around Abacus too much. (They seem to think the same thing)

NICE dyno numbers you recently posted, btw.

 

shut up moron.

 

from my experience it was the owner that popped the gasket. i tuned it as best as the parts installed allowed, a master genius got another 30hp out of cam timing and i was done. wouldnt go above 18psi. on boost controller (wasnt my car or place to figure out why). owner came in next day, raised the boost without letting me know and popperoooooo.

on the dyno that motor just didnt sound right. but i wrang the shit out of it to something like 350rwhp.

 

how is mike anyway. last we spoke he had a ferrari and the mr2 was in florida getting another ecu installed/tuned.

 

I beg to differ, I beleive I have the fastest 13 second mr2!

 

nice, I actually jusy moved here, and some one told me to go on this board and talk shit, just to get a reply. My car isnt fast. but the replies were great. btw, i like kareoke, but i cant spell...

 

heh, its getting more than that.

just for the record.... both mr2's mentioned by noshoes where built by seth and myself. ive got a fair amount with these things.. and though they can be made to be fast, drag cars they are not.

the honda, u can throw some power at and be made amazingly fast. this is due mostly to their low weight. fact of the matter.... the same formula doesnt work equally well on all cars. mr2's are heavy little piggies. they do make up for there weight with superior handling {they are mid engine } mike ko's car, as i understand, has enabled him to set several track records at VIR. great road and track car.... but its still kinda slow in a straight line.

it'll never run 9's, but they will damn sure wheelie on command


oh yeah..... they do pop alotta head gaskets. come on now.. the issue is head bolts. head designed by yamaha on a toyota block. they still havent got the mating perfect. stock bolts kinda suck, and arp's were believed to be a bit to resistant to stretching. this mad eht head gasket the weak link and prone to failure.

arp has now redesigned there head botls due largely in part to the efforts of the great skippy at abacus.

of course this is all my opinion...... what the hell do i know?
