Bad News at Reading 6
Sorry I have to be the bringer of bad news but Jesse(Subafreak) blew his engine while doing his second small run with the NO2 and the six speed. I was in the car when he launched and WOW did it launch. As he went to shift into 2nd it blew. We have guessed that it blew the head gasket out, antifreeze blowing out of the cap and overflow and oil running out of the intake. He has got to trailer it home or to Jimsbaby's house for fixin up.
On a much better note, he took it out for his first run and I was a watcher, and man did that thing get up and go!!!!!! H was tearing ass and he said it was awsome. I got to feel the 1st gear launch with the stage 2 when I was in it and I tell u what, I used every bit of the foam on his EVO seats. Put me straight back. Kicks like a mule but I think he might have to either stage the NO2 or just nix it in 1st all together. Well he will fix and and life will move on but for now we are all mourning this event. I am sure there will be plenty of pics up later tonight as I have no camera I cannot be of help to you looking for them. Tom P.S. the rally was a ton of fun |

I'm sorry to hear that as well. Jesse will have that car up and running in no time though.
Man, I would have loved to feel what you did in the passenger seat Tom. Scariest ride I've ever had was in my friends '00 SVT Lightning that runs low 12's. He blasted up the highway from a dead stop with the rear tires screaming for grip in first, second and third! -Chike

No car meet is complete without having something blow up.
I'm sure it'll come back faster than ever. Always one good thing about engines blowing......you have an excuse to go bigger and better.

someone does have video but im not sure when he is gonna post. I am still in shcok kinda cuz i was in car when it happened. We ripped out of 1st and when he went to shift, I thought he blew the shift but it turns out he had no go when he hit the gas. I ask him what happened and all he say is "UH oH, Big Smoke" I look behind the car at the huge cloud of white smoke behind us and almost start crying for him. That thing was stinkin sumthin feirce when we got stopped. Everyone seemed to come together and help him out when he needed to get it on the trailer and whatnot, not to mention he won the rally contest. Well, if any more needs to be said, I will let him do it or someone else, this is just depressing to talk about anymore.

Yeah, you take good care of my baby Jim It's OK if you want to sit in it and play with the shifter too.
I think I need to learn how to control my NOS a little better. The first couple of runs went great, that thing friggen ripped. I wasn't expecting it to blow the tire free rounding one of the light poles at the end of our parking lot 1/4mile. Altho I'm think I might have looked like I did? Pat? Yes the good news is the tranny is good for it and the clutch never even thought about slipping either. I should have it running again in about two weeks, I'll toss the spare motor in there and probly play with the NOs a little more carfully. As for the old motor I think I'll look into building it for supercharger application. NOS is fun but I would like to have a little more throttle control for all around driving.
