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've gotten so excited about my ideas with the 5sfe that I came up with last night. I almost just want to keep it and tweak with it instead of upgrading to a "real" motor. From everything I've ever heard on this site, that is stupid. But dang it, my results thus far have proved that this motor is not crap. And more tweaking can definately get it to a point that it will be one heck of a car to drive. Even if it's not the fastest car in town, it'll still be cool. lol, a NA 5sfe motor that will be cool. I'm probably standing completely alone when saying that.
