The car didnt even make a hot lap, Rob can correct me if I am wrong, but somehow the coolant system pressurized. I was talking to Gary, and he was explaining the Electric water pump set up they have going on.
But the car running is better than nothing. I'm glad I stayed around and got that.

I heard it in the bathroom, of my hotel room with the windows closed. It still hurt.

Yes, cooling system built up some pressure which ultimately messed up the radiator. No big deal, pull it & replace it!
We should be getting the car up to speed in the next couple weeks.
The red civic was actually really fast for an N/A street tire car. I was very impressed. However the was a red accord that I didnt get on camera. It was ear shattering loud. By far the loudest car there. By default it won 3rd in super modified. If you were there, You know what im talking about.

Yea that accord was loud. Sounded louder than some rotary drift cars. I was really surprised to see an accord out there. You see the green Hybrid altima from Braille? That was a surprise to see. The guy was telling me all about it and he said it really goes except when it gets left on the straights cause of its low top speed.

Damn, the level of build on this car is impressive. Some serious money dropped on this thing. It has more in common with a rally car or custom built track car than a Scion anymore.
When you gonna swap a LS1 in that _____
Lookin good, love the xtrac dog box.

Not trying to get in a duel with you but the reality is we run a complete STOCK 2009 Scion tC Body & Chassis which is legally converted to AWD per the sanctioning body we built the car to race at...yes it was expensive to build but of it is that we run a STOCK unsleeved SCION tC 2AZFE Motor, Crank & Cams...we run functional headlights & tail lights on a factory wide-body Scion tC...let alone we still use tons of other OEM Toyota components in & on the car.
Why would we swap a LS-1 in a car we make over 1000WHP with the factory engine? LS-1 swaps are for people who can't figure out how to make boosted 4cyl technology work!
Last...you'd must be referring to our 4wd WEISMANN gearbox which bolts to our factory Scion tC 2AZFE. Thank you, its a work of art...and available to anyone with such a dream!
FYI...Xtrac doesn't even make a AWD gearbox for road racing.

How do you figure we have more in common with a Rally-Car or Custom Built Track Car? IMO, the only reason you say that is to make your followers here on SL think the stuff we do in our racing program doesn't relate to their street cars when the reality is that everything we do is relative to them & what's available for there Scion's.
