With the previous gearing I hit 128 on the dyno in 6th. New gearing should be faster but I've only touched 112. Too scary.

Also got a new Aluminum 2 core radiator for cooling. I'm having issues at extended RPMs above 7k or above 60mph... Thats Ralphy the mascot!

I mounted up some of the rarest tires in the world. Continental Sportcontact 195/45/13s. 4 sets in the world and I tracked one down. Made the car torque steer WAY less and it actually has traction now. I love these tires....


Just playing around with some 22s. What do you guys think!?:smoke:

Some footage from the other day in the rain :lol:

So much for a good night. Some dumbass talking on a cellphone hit me while turning without checking both ways. The front fender took the brunt of the accident but boy am I pissed.

Damn, that sucks man. That's crazy what happend to the wheel, I don't think I've ever seen that happen.

Dude that blows!!!!!!!!!

That sucks BIG TIME!

Dang.....

I would say that we all here drive or have every intent to drive our cars once finished.....but stories/pics like this and Matt's help me understand why so many people have trailer queens! I have every intent to drive Karma on the streets....but these pics scare the hell out of me!

Glad you are ok!

It'll be repaired in 3 weeks. No biggie.

Once you make a car TOO nice, its no longer fun.

Hence why I've been holding off on painting both the continental and camaro. :lol:


I'll worry about them if they had 10k paint jobs.

That Bastard! Even if he failed to look both ways, I can't believe he didn't hear you coming from a mile away, which would have made me a little cautious. I hope insurance goes smoothly, and I'm really sorry to see this happen. After the engine swap your car quickly made its way high up my list of favorite quirky little vehicles.
