Chop chop 3/4 of the cars there  but thats what you get for putting copious amounts of power into a standard engine  Thanks angy!  yeah Sal, I'm pretty red but it doesn't hurt too much. It'd better go brown tho!  Here's the aftermath of the RX4 that broke at the end of the day... |

Sorry to all for oiling the track, had I realised that I was dropping oil I would have stop to minimise the mess and obviously to save my motor. Any who saw it would have seen it still ran a 12.5 so it was a little difficult to detect during the run.

The car was parked next to the eatery on the back of the trailor for about 30mins, if you call that taking the long way I guess you are correct.

Oil filter seal failed. he he he he ehe he hehe simpwnnd cry me a river failures are bound to happen example: people got plenty of runs.. Correct, the filter seal did fail. It wasnt the power I was squeezing out of it but a consumable item that isnt stressed by power output. Despite the loss I still had a great time and hope you all did also. Ang did a great job putting it all together and we owe it to her for such a great event. Hope the next on is just as good if not better. |

I'd be cautious about it, and be concerned that there may have been a fair bit of pressure to bust that seal. Check it all out bro...IF it is a genuine failure of the seal through defect...then i'd be hitting up the company you bought it from. Sorry to see it happen to your car anyway |

Sorry to see it happen to your car anyway The filter wasnt old and I dont think pressure alone would have caused the failure. When I removed the filter part of the seal was missing  QUOTE(disenter @ Oct 29 2007, 11:32 AM) [snapback]1281574108[/snapback] Yeah man f*ck how dare you blow a oil seal? haha j/k. Bad luck man, least it wasn't something major that went. Nothing major that went lol, I dont think there is much left useable on my motor apart from the cams and the block lol. Not sure about the block as yet, see if the rods did any damage to it. |

Bah It still means whales Vagina lol QUOTE(disenter @ Oct 29 2007, 07:26 AM) [snapback]1281573447[/snapback] VS Style - you were the commentator?? my last names Christian, not Christianson! lol heard ya in a few of the vids we took haha oh well good job otherwise mate, sounded very natural. Bah tis all good some of the names didnt match the sheet cause some people changed their cars at the last min plus hard to call and read a sheet in XX seconds and watch the race lol. Was a great day, to the dude that put oil down its a shame about loosin the engine as a result ey, I wouldnt worry about it mate people are bound to bitch, but if it had been a bigger name car or something like that they wouldn't bitch. at the end of the day thats drag racing its to be expected. The fact we all got through the day with no injuries or crashes is awesome

Im sure everyone has broken something once or twice while giving it a nudge, just unfortunate it happened in the first hour of dragtime and it happened to be something that made a mess!! |

Not sure about the block as yet, see if the rods did any damage to it. I was just thinking the same thing you said as i looked at the atleast nothing big went wrong. Engine having no oil = about the worst you can do to a engine lol. If the problem was only in the filter (i seriously doubt it) then i would persue the people you bought it from cause that is going to be a rather nasty process getting her back on the road. As ski said to get that sort of pressure in the oil in the first place something was not right in there. I can give you the number of the best evo specialist in town if you like good luck with it all and hope to see it out there again. its a missile

well i assumed it would have been turned off pretty damn quick once you got to the end of the 1/4 and saw zero oil pressure etc an so the guts of the motor might have been ok.. guess you wont know for sure till you tear it all down though.. I mean to me its not like you had zero oil instantly .. it pissed out all the way along the track.. anyway, good luck with it.. hope ya get it going again, still made good time! lol |

I highly doubt it broke due to pressure, but hey, whats done is done. It'll be back stronger than ever, I have no doubt about that. Don't think he'll be needing an "evo specialist" anytime soon, he does alright by himself.

Sorry to have missed the day do due to m.s.d problems at the bracket series on saturday night. Tried our best to rectify problem but unfortunately it wasn't a simple issue. We came out and spectated but that isn't the same as competing. Hopefully to be there next time and have a run against the sigma and beat it. |
