It happened when I was spraying. Changed the battery a few days before it happened. Dunno if that reset anything or what.....nitrous hit, car started going...and then bogged. I shut her down and didn't drive her again. Sent her to SGP a couple weeks later to check it out and put on my stoptechs and found out she's toast. Electrodes on the spark plugs where completely gone. Thought I fouled them or something....ended up being worse. lol.

Anyhow, had fun on the cruise yesterday. Loooooong ride home in the dark. Someone slap those stunters next time they get a chance. Those clowns are the reason 5-0 booted us.

You talking about that nutty bike crew with the crap on their helmets? I heard the Ram SRT-10 guys were kind of fools, too. Cruise was great, though; I hooked up with DavidF and we got in with a decent bunch to cruise down there. Worst part was the wait on the toll bridge (actually, it wasn't bad; I just had to pee something fierce...). Croud was too big to all fit at one restaurant, so it kind of fell apart after we at, plus it was getting late, so no big line-up on the hill (some may have gone down there). Overall, it was a blast; great cars, great weather, good food, even a few hotties...

I'll try to get up some of the pics I took later tonight.

Yea, some of those guys with the mohawks were 350z members. All of them were acting right. When we parked at cherry hill, some more guys came along that didn't ride with the rest of us bike guys. Guess they saw the crowd and wanted to show off. A few had mohawks and stuff.....I doubt they were with us though. I think I was one of 5 that didn't have decorations on my helmet. lol. Don't want to ruin my race replica Arai. lol.

Ah, ok. I didn't make it down to the hill. Was 5:30 by the time we got out of Salsa's lot; figured it was too late.

Good luch with getting your car fixed, man; sucks to hear what happened...

I thought maybe the window/tps switch may have reset....who knows. One cylinder is loosing a little bit of compression, so either the ring went or I burned hole in a valve or two. Mark seems to think its the rings... Gonna bullet-proof her now....time for some serious power.

not sure yet. I need to sit down with mark and pick his brain. I'm trying to head over there today after work. Hopefully I won't have to stay late at work. They are always trying to leave as soon as I get to SGP (around 6:30ish). Who wants to talk to customers when you're walking out the door? I kinda feel bad for keeping them even longer. I know I want to go home RIGHT after I get off of work. lol. Appreciate the sympathy. I'm actually alot more excited than I am bummed. First motor I've ever trashed. A damn good track record for modifying cars for more than 12 years. Transmissions....now that's another story. lol. Been through quite a few of those.
