most of the MSM board is older people who don't know how, don't want to be bothered, or don't care about working on their car, and most think the car is 100% perfect stock.

My motor blew after having about 120kmiles on it, and 30k of those boosted at 14psi and getting ripped on a lot of those. the piston rings decided to stop working. am i gonna install the meth kit i have before i put a new motor in? no. thats just dumb.

moral of the story, fix your car dammit! I know the TDR lip is $100 and its not alot, but thats $100 you coulda put it towards fixing your car.

If i swap a new motor in before you fix your car i get to kick you in the dick, fair deal? lol

I'm not going to bother answering all of this because I've said everything I have to say a long time ago, go back and read it instead of posting the same advice because chances are most of the things people have suggested have been done.

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 10:55 AM

Finally found another local with a more-or-less stock MSM which gives me an opportunity to swap some more sensors and things from car to car and see what happens. Ran a b-swapped ek with boltons last night (I was told it was a GSR swap but never saw for myself) and pulled 1-1.5 cars twice, but still couldn't reach redline. First sensor I'm swapping is that intake temp. Should meet up with the guy Saturday.

However much I hate to admit it, those wheels are growing on me.

Car looked good last night.

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 11:12 AM

Aww, thanks James! Your car always looks flawless, was surprised to see you out, you usually show like twice a year

james_ls · 04-28-2010, 11:24 AM

HaHa thanks man.

Yeah its literally a mile and a half from my house, figured WTF.

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 11:25 AM

Do you know what the black EK had in it? The coupe with the red Rotas.

james_ls · 04-28-2010, 11:39 AM

A sore GSR swap.

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 11:41 AM

LOL what do you mean sore?

IDK if you saw the amount of smoke, and heard the bangs.

It's strong, just not what it should be.

We need to line up...

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 12:17 PM

Sounds like my car and his car run equally well then LOL.

Whenever you're out again just gimme a holler.

TNTramair · 04-28-2010, 01:43 PM

so you dont think that someone else could possibly diagnos a problem with your car b/c you've allready covered all the basis??? there's no possible way you missed something huh? you must be a really great mechanic...oh wait, you still didnt figure out your problem hmm. funny how you dont wanna pay someone to fix your car b/c you obviously cant but dont mind spending hundreds on useless mods like a lip spoiler. my original opinion of you has been confirmed...thank you.

Vr-4-Life · 04-28-2010, 01:48 PM

If he fixes his car, he loses the excuse on why its so slow ;)

I dont care if people hate, the car still looks dope as ****.

I'm not here for the popularity vote, but thanks for playing.

I'm gonna fix it or die trying, you can hang to that opinion as long as you want, don't bother me none.

Took you how long to figure this out? lol

Vr-4-Life · 04-28-2010, 03:48 PM

I've known it all along, and I've wanted to say it, but after all those times you swore you would never talk to me again for talking ****... I held it in lol..

All honesty... we need to spend a solid night in my garage tearing into this... its probably something so stupid.

CleanNeon98 · 04-28-2010, 03:50 PM

I wanna meet with the local guy and swap around a few parts from his car, I think it will be much more time-effective than anything else because as far as tests, we've pretty much done everything needed, and there's really no easy way to check sensors without physically replacing or swapping them around.

edit: Rich, I want nothing to do with your garage, or even driveway for that matter...either we heli-lift the car in there, or we rice in the street, I don't want to destroy any more pavement than I have to LOL

Vr-4-Life · 04-28-2010, 04:46 PM

oh yeah.... i forgot about that....

bring your damn coil wrenches.

I'm not raising the car just to get up your driveway LOL

With enough speed I might be able to jump into the garage, hope the Ducati has insurance though
