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 figured someone was going to say that. It was in the 1/8 mile, and like I said, I'm known for being a good driver. Get the hole shot and they can't stop you. If I was in his car, I would have won with it. He didn't miss anything, he just didn't know how to get it to hook up right. QUOTE(Coomer @ Sep 19, 2006 - 12:01 AM) [snapback]481259[/snapback] Your flywheel exploded? Usually when I see that I see pieces of the flywheel thrown through the body of the car (and sometimes the driver.) Was this a lightweight (or lightened) flywheel? It was a lightweight one. It broke all the bolts off from the crank to it. I guess I'm lucky it didn't do more than it did. I'll take pictures of it if anyone wants to see them. We took the starter off and reached into there and you could tell the flywheel was just in pieces. Then we took it apart and it was all the more obvious. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
