It was really overheating badly since I was an idiot and wired the e-fan backwards. So it was trying to blow air through backwards in the radiator instead of pulling air LOL. The tune didn't have anything for hotter than regular temps, so it was pouring fuel itno it while trying to start that hot. Anyway, it was really fun, and we got $7K off their POS honda on ebay

So im guessing with the winnings you rebuilt the engine?

i kno did you see him leave the line passing that civic almost sideways.....lol i was flippin out. my girlfriend was like i dont get y your so excited i was like this street rx7 just beat a civic drag car. she still didnt understand. but to me that was the greatest part of my day. oh and honestly im not sure if the fc was only runnin 10 pounds of boost. but he might have. but did you hear the guys comment on the fc towards the end when the car was runnin hot. he was like blow it up i dont care its built outa spare parts neway. that just made my day

yeah I flipped randomly to it last night and was thrilled. and fake nitrous on the Civic, lol
I couldn't stand how the Civic driver kept it bouncing off the rev limiter for the starts, it didn't seem to do them any good, either. imo they'd have been better off with taking an inch or two off the width of those tires so they wouldn't have us much weight and rolling resistance, but that still wouldn't have caught them up to the '7
