I was racing a Z24 Cavy with a 50 shot and when I went to go from 3rd to 2nd insted of 4th gear. I was a good 2 car lengths ahead at the time though. The only reason I win races against most guys is because of my launches and fast shifts. But when I missed the shift, the motor went haywire. The rev limiter did not kick in at all. I have no idea how high it rev'd, but it was past the 8k mark. But now, the flywheel is litterally in pieces. Which is really a rare thing to happen. The clutch is obviously gone too. And I may have bent the crank. So, I might be in the market for a 3sgte, 3sge, 1mzfe, 3mzfe, or 4age. We'll see what happens. I hate to waste this opertunity and put another 5sfe in there. It all just depends on what I can find and for what price. I'm really upset to see my baby down though.

I guess my response to that would be that if you upgraded, then you wouldnt have to worry about quick shifts and starts, because you would be fast enough to be able to kinda take it easy on the shifting, which would mean your less likely to repeat that last mistake. Trying to be optimistic here. I say live it up, if you wanna race, then by all means go for it, im sure its a great thrill. If this wasnt my daily driver id be doing the same thing. I say go for more power...and just be more careful with shifting?
