Well I haven't been around in a while cause my wife is 6 months pregnant now. My update is that I think my head gasket on the rear head went up. My oil finally turn to tea. I need to have Greg look at it but I'm pretty sure thats it. If so the head will come off and then we will check the damage and go from there. I guess tax time couldn't have come any faster. If Greg isn't busy he'll have some work now!

headgasket went prob went up due to your overheating issues. Told you so

goodluck and expect a engine rebuild

Spuds · 12/29/2007, 10:13 PM

yea it was weird because I got off the belt way and noticed the antifreeze smell once I hit the light. I didn't run it hard at all that day thats why I was confused. I kept on turning it on and then checking the oil and I noticed the other day it looked like starbuck coffee. Oh well shit happens.

Spuds · 01/14/2008, 08:10 PM

Well I'm waiting to file taxes so I can drop of my car to Greg so he can check the damage. Hopefully the bottom end is still good. Worse case, I'll just have to buy the block Greg has for sell!

repforenzo · 01/15/2008, 01:28 PM

Damn Todd, are you sure the block is toast? Hopefully, after the heads are off, you may get some good new.

Spuds · 01/15/2008, 07:12 PM

No, I've just have had some bad luck lately. I need to get back up and running, I'm tired of getting run down by Geo's in my 91 civic, 67 HP

I get run off the road on 97 cause the car will only do 70mph safely.

I feel you man. I've been driving my 89 accord for 4 months straight now and this thing does 60 mph tops safely.

Randy, you know you are a 3G lover in the inside. Get a stand alone ECU and turn the boost up. Also, get some dyno numbers and stop talking about selling your sexy 3G.

icemanrld19 · 01/16/2008, 10:34 PM

You guys are all gay. Donate some coilovers to me and ill buy a EMS then too

Spuds · 01/17/2008, 07:35 PM

How about drive your car Randy! Your car is running and it sits more then mine with a blown head gasket (in and out of the garage

) Chato you must have the 1.5 like mine, slow and it gets 30 miles to the gallon.

I have the 2.0 carburated one. It gives me around 30 - 35mpg

Spuds · 02/17/2008, 03:33 PM

Well I got bored today and figured I would make a bootleg copy of my run at the track. My camcorder is not digital and my wife got a digital camera for christmas so I figured I would see how it turned out. So for the shaking, my wife taped and needs practice! The second video is against a mustang with intake, headers, exhaust, a GT 40 intake manifold and a Hypertech programmer. He jumped before the light even changed and didn't give me a chance to load my converter. He still would have beat me but it would have been a little closer.

14.2 run against a small block regal. - Video
racing a mustang with a bunch of bolt-ons. He jumped before I even got a chance to load up my converter so I left with no boost built up. It would have been a little closer. - Video

Spuds · 03/01/2008, 05:26 PM

Here are some new pics. Hopefully someone will notice them
