So that's ^ what happened to the pulley/bearings .... Think I'll be looking into swapping back over to the stock idler setup. (We'll see how it goes)

lol...he is S/C with GO Power custom header, 3" FR exhaust, some CAI, Flashpro, coilovers, worn Hankook V12 tires and a long list of other stuff. Finding grip on the car can be an issue, lol.

I believe Mike has one of the couple fastest SC cars on the ocho.

Depending on the dyno, the car has seen numbers below 270whp (heartbreaker dynapak), and up to 308whp/202wtq (on a more loving dynapak). (Mustang dyno reported 298/196.) All the modifications can be found in my ocho "garage" -> http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/civic_garage/1047

Definitely makes for great fun. I just gotta stop breaking stuff :)
And sadly, Nomars right - Traction has always been somewhat of an issue, though once I started making changes in an attempt to gain traction back, I was breaking tranny parts. Spent dumb money on Albins parts for it, and hoping I won't be seeing anymore transmission woes any time soon.

Oh, and finally got Nomar's run down the mountain up on youtube (computer was being a bish).

You guys don't know how badly I wanted to be there. Originally I was absolutely committed to the trek. Mike called (before your text Nomar) to let me know about the rockslide before knowing the extent of the damage, in addition to even knowing IF the Dragon would be drivable. After that I passed out on the couch. When I answered your text Nomar, I was in the fog of my sleep meds, and didn't have all my mental pistons firing. When I went to work that night I figured it was a complete washout fun-wise, so I didn't take any of my stuff with me in order to leave right from work. I know you guys probably think I'm a lameazz, but I was totally ready to drive up after my shift.

While it's not good at all that I missed out on this, the "silver lining" (if you can actually use that term for this) of me staying home is that I had one employee pull a no call/no show for his Sat. 11pm-7am shift, then had the other guy call in sick (with a terrible case of "videogameittis") for his 6pm-11pm shift on Sun. Did I mention there are only three of us that work at this site? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.... :pat:

Mike I'm so sorry I missed it all, and even more sorry about your car. How far did you have it towed?

Finally...what is that red car? A Toyota MR-S or are they called MR-5's ( I've never been entirely clear on that)? If so, it's definitely the coolest looking one I've ever seen.
