HOW HARD IS DRIVING TOO HARD

[SmoothCustomer]

That's not a terrible point. Take Chris for example. He has a 7 bolt 1g with a 6 bolt ready to go in but he might as well just beat the piss out of the 7 bolt and have some fun before he swaps it. Although if everyone had a spare, better engine lying around they wouldn't be asking these questions.

 

Quoting galantgti:
Driving it too hard is when all becomes blurry and you are going back to the future.....



One point twenty one gigawatts! Everyone knows that Doc Brown put a banana peel eating 4G63 into that DeLorean...

I believe in over building your motor. I built my motor to with stand 800+hp but am only at like 650-700crank. I also keep the boost limited to 20psi on the street witch drops my power by 130whp. I also check and recheck bolts,clamps,oil,coolant, and so on every time I take the car out.

your best to be kind of asy on the cars from wat ive seen... im a horrible evil bastard to a car...so far ive had mine for almost 2 years....half the time not running...ill go threw a list

-who knows how many blown coolant pipe
-crossed t-stat wires wouldnt run for 2 months
-charge pipes blowing off (mostly my rig fault)
-4ws line starts to leak
-destroy the exhaust side of my 14b
-broke the 1st axle at track after 60-1, gm maft, and inercooler
-wiring problems turn my wipers and domelight on and leave the doorlocks powerless
-broken shifter linkage inside trans
-2 months later after smashing evos on 30+ lbs on stock head gasket and bolts- broke axle #2
-same day started to miss and made 25 lbs with broken rear axle before i burnt a hole in #3 piston and melted the head between 1+2


is it worth it? i wouldnt trade it for anything....i run my cars hard...stupid most of the time. but its a hell of a journey to make it so it wont break... just bored and leaving my 2 cents for ya /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
