Personally I think its not that nice. I mean come on. It still has weird 80's taillights and triangles that spin under the hood? I think you should give up on it and move on. See if you can sell it in your local autotrader or better yet try craigslist and list it for cheap and MOVE on. Try a real car next time. Like maybe a NSX? I think there might even be one for sale locally for you to snatch up and make cherry. Atleast you could drive it daily and not worry about spinning triangles popping through your hood. Anyways good luck with the sale. I would maybe....... maybe give you $500 for it if it runs.

edit; JK I think you have probably the nicest, most attention to detail, car in the area. Serious. Good job Sean. Oh and sell that beater NSX for me.

Lol you son-of-a-bitch John! I am glad to see you have wondered into a forum of vehicles that don't have a giant "H" on the hood!

Thanks for the kind words buddy, that means a lot coming from one of the guys who inspired me AND got me into the car scene back in the old days. Fuck I was like 13 when that shit happened lol.

I HATE to see the NSX at that dealership BUT I hope you get it sold so you can get that EK race car up to spec.

BTW for the Forums members: This dude is one of the best drivers in Montana period! Watching him hand a 2007 Porsche GT2 it ass at Lewistown in 2007 in his near stock NSX was a sight to be seen. Good shit

That was a good roast, hah

FC3S Murray · 04-10-2010, 10:55 PM

Here is that video of John playing with that Porsche

This was back in 2007 when I spun a rotor bearing after about 3 hot laps.....I was pissed but it was still fun. You see a buddy and I switch seats later in the video...shortley after the roll off the line I lose all power in the famous 3rd gear pull. I had to push the car off the track and all...soo much fun lol.

project86 · 04-10-2010, 11:12 PM

that looks like way too much fun.... i wanna go as soon as my car is done

WhiteNA1 · 04-15-2010, 08:56 PM

ahhhhh mixed feelings watching that. Little sick to my stomach almost a tear in my eye and goose bumps on my arms till I lol'd at that weird bald dude? I almost never want to see it again.

.......

nuther edit... Gawwwwwd I just wanna go pick it up and put my suspension back on it and take it for a long drive. Sometimes I think to myself, "how could I ever let it go?". Its sorta hard. Did not think it would be.

peace out. enjoy your ride.

why did you get rid of it anyway?

JShiz · 04-15-2010, 10:29 PM

That vid was awesome. And that NSX chewed up the porsche

Update:

So I FINALLY finished installing my water injection system. I took my time since the weather up here turned to shit last week and I find rushing never does any good.

The kit is from Snow Performance and is the Stage 1 Boost Cooler. Kit comes with everything you need to include 220 psi pump, nozzle, water jug, activation LED, fluid low-level sensor with LED, mounting hardware, water lines, sealant, electrical fittings/crimps/eyelets...I mean they dont mess around, you get EVERYTHING you need for install. GREAT customer service too!

I on the other hand went a different route and wanted 2 nozzles at smaller sizes that would eqaul the proper size for my 50/50 meth/water mix SO they would atomize even better (plus it looks kick ass). My total nozzle size is 375ml/min and 175ml/min = 550 ml/min of 50/50 mix. I originally was going to go only water so I had 2 175ml/min nozzles ordered BUT after much more reading and research (Howard Coleman is the man!), a 50/50 mix seems to be the most beneficial for performance AND knock safety.

on to the install pics:

I mounted the pump and the fluid container behind my passenger seat due to engine bay space limitations.

I routed the water lines under the carpet by the passenger seat and up through the main harness firewall grommet, then securing to the firewall pinch weld with some 1/4 inch clamps and bolt head caps. I had to wrap the line with teflon tape to prevent chaffing on the edge of the pinch weld.

Mounted the boost sensor and relay by the brake booster. Snow recommend that you do not bolt boost sensor to the engine bay due to possibly distorting the diaphram SO I ended up using a zip tie and some .020'' safety wire to secure it.

I did have to order 2 aluminum bungs to weld into my intercooler piping (not in kit)
Here are the 2 nozzles.......

I am very happy on where I located the 2 L.E.D.'s! I ended up mounting them on the gauge dash bezel. Green is activation light and orange is the low lfluid level. They are both very visible from the drivers seat.

I had to test the pump after install and it works GREAT. The atomization is VERY fine and I would of had video but I was short handed. The kit was a great price and I CAN"T WAIT to see it perform once I finish break in.

...I need to hit the road soon...lol

FC3S Murray · 05-24-2010, 04:13 PM

Well I am at 1600 miles and I started doing some boost AFR tuning up to about 7 psi. HARD as SHIT to tune when your WG spring opens at 14.5 psi lol.

I was going to wait until 2000 miles to do WOT tuning but I have probably heat cycled that motor since last August about 40 times.....no joke.

I tell you what my Water/Methonal inj does some wonders on the intake temps.......I hit 9 psi last night and my water/meth kicked on for about 2 seconds.....AIT was 32*C and it dropped to 18*C and stayed there for a good 3-4 mins after the spray.

I will start tuning with project86 as my laptop monitor as soon as this damn weather clears up. For now I will check the spark plugs and do a compression check.

stay tuned
