Take back the keys!

A bunch of us Cleveland guys will be going down to HIN Columbus to fuck some import models...as that's about the only thing decent at the show.

BUT BUT BUT...

The main attraction and main purpose of going is the street racing afterwards (not related to HIN AT ALL). It's a once a year thing that goes on, Cleveland vs Columbus basically. We do it breakfast run style between 3am and 6am.

Lots of vette's, LS1's, bikes, etc.

Lots of money making opportunities if your junk is fast.

You will see more 600hp+ cars racing this night than ANY other time.

Who's in?

Wont be racing but we're bringing about 2-3 cars to c-bus that weekend

I'm down to partake.

Should be a good weekend. I just want to go eat at Logans steakhouse in Easton

I don't even care to have my car in the show lol. C-Bus is just the place to be.

ill be there heh

Cory, you know I'll be in on the mix. Some real serious races shall be taking place.

I've got space for a few of you guys to crash at my place too...

I'll be down as long as the cars up... I should find out about my turbo today according to AMS... hopefully I get that fucker back ASAP! I'll notify you Keith when I return for the final tune.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Detroit Electronic Music Festival is that weekend I just realized. Looks like I'll be skipping on the racing and attending the music event.

If something changes, I'll post.

quite possibly, I'll call you once I know whats going on, AMS still hasn't called... but I'd be happy to order it up for you if you don't mind waiting a week or two.. I'm sure thats what I'm looking at.... I'll let you know.

Oh, I was hoping they be hooking you up with your turbo sooner. I figured they would have one in stock and id pay you they just through it in your box. But if you got some waiting time, ill just order one up tom online. I cant wait, the 240 should be done this weekend i hope!

good to hear ACV! sorry its not sooner.. I wish it was.. they never called me either... looks like I'll have to do the calling in the morn...

That stinks...I keep seeing your car when i drive by and i think...alls it needs is the turbo back!

if we finish up the 240 soon, ill call up some pizzas and well test her out at my house

(ill order enough so jhills will have to help you deliver haha)

that works, hah.

AMS finally called, the price to fix my shit I might as well just buy a brand new one..... ouch times 1000x...

Wait, they aren't just gonna fix it? You didn't get any sorta warranty?

Nope, called it "bearing failure and turbine damage". Precision is saying a foreign object(s) went through my turbine blades.... I do see HOW thats possible w/o damage to my engine/head, and what size object could fit through there yet not destroy the wheel itself?! I don't know...

I don't really see any damage to the wheel... unless its hiding below the housing...


Sucks ass for sure, moral of the story don't buy your turbo until your car is basically ready to run to take full advantage of its warranty... this is anal raping, and I don't like it.

I'm gonna ask AMS today again if I can call and personally talk to the guy who took it apart to get a better description, also find out what I might have done to caused it in his mind, and how to prevent it from happening again.

someones full of shit, that turbine looks fine. Something tells me you arn't getting a full or accurate story.

thank you, thats how I feel as well. I personally feel the bearing(s) failed, causing the shaft play allowing the blades to hit the housings, thus maybe a tiny bit of damage on the blades... which ultimately was caused by the bearings failing...

I'm gonna talk to the man at Precision myself. They quoted me $1250 for repairs + shipping, so basically $1300. The fucker costs $1619 brand new..... If I knew I'd be paying this much in the end I might have well as dropped 3g's on a 47-88....

hate to say it, but you should have went journal bearing just due to the rebuild costs!

btw, i hear you have a class with Eric & Devin, (Eric has a boosted black civic that i helped him build, and then tuned for him)

Yeah, I wanted better spool characteristics though.... never planned on an event such as this happening for a LONG time...

Eric the taller shaggy bearded guy?

i'm starting to think outside forces don't want your car running EVER Cory...

I've been feeling that for the past year or so, maybe its a sign to throw in the towel?

you and i both know you love that car far too much to ever give up

I had a dream about your car last night, that you got it done and it was on the dyno... however it had a 42r... so it wasn't yours.

Yeah I have a creative mind it leads me to dreams such as above, it looked/sounded very real lol.

Boback you shouldn't have bitched out on the pro-charger!

actually, im back to 42r, i forgot to tell u =P so the dream was actually quite real. I talked to a lot of guys about the procharger kits they sell and they end up needing quite a bit of modification when running more than 10-12 psi so i decided not to fuck with all of that. I'm in the middle of setting up something with jay at domination to rig me up some pipe.

i'll have the motor back together in the next two weeks, just waiting for the heads and pistons to come in and i can throw her together
