i would be after just buying it and it being shit specually from a dealer yea it be stressed and pissed
nope…they didnt give me anything. Right now, my girlfriend drives me everywhere.
Drew, not to be a prick, but having a CEL, or MIL, or SES whatever you guys go by for a MISFIRE, usually not a good choice. im sure what happened may have been preventable if looked at before the abuse happened with a known issue… just my observation. i had a coil pack fail on my car like 24k miles ago and it sounded like a subaru, it was fixed immediatly. engines aren’t cheap.
to clarify, paull ran a 13.3 @ 107 with headers.
There was a B16 at the track in a EG hatch with cams, pistons, slicks, gutted interior running mid 14’s @ 92-95mph that B16 EF has an 85 shot and who knows what else on slicks. Last year i ran a 13.1 @ 105 on a 35 shot fogger, DRs, stock RSX ecu (no K-Pro) and an intake w/ a header and stock exhaust. This year i went to the track once, untuned running very unhealthy and trapped 109, i didn’t go to get my ETs, mainly wanted to see what i would trap. When i get tuned, throw my bigger jets in and a couple other things, i will go back to the track and run. I honestly don’t think that EF hatch had a chance, esp. after i’m tuned. The EF is a quick car though i’ll give you that, it moves pretty good.
yea i know its a diffrent story when your car is tuned. But your car was in the same condition as the time you ran at the track this year untuned. i mean from 105 to 109 is not 2or 3 car lenghts. Anyways get that thing tuned and i would like to see a race with pauls B20 EF :nod Make me want to build a all motor car for the street. Much more fun on the streets.
your right, its more :giggedy :nod
adam, i’ll def run you all motor, hell i’ll even run you on a nitrous pass, i dont care. I raced a bike last night for shits a giggles, i dont care. I just dont like it when people THINK that will beat my car, my theory is that you cant talk shit until you actually race. Im not one to brag about winnning races or how fast my car is, a lot of you know that. I just dont like it when people “call me out” when i would never do the same to my fellow members, atleast not being serious
You’re right paul, i hear you…it’s all in good fun. I learned from being around you at the lot, you don’t care if you win or lose, you just like it because it’s fun and that’s what it’s about. :nod
Finally got it on the road last week. I think it would be a great race. :banana
no, the SES was on…and would start blinking every once and a while which is a misfire…every time I scanned it, cylinder 5 misfire. I hardly believe that it was preventable to have a cylinder 5 meltdown…like I said, the kid that owned it before me told me he had a cylinder 5 misfire when he owned it before he traded it in and they couldnt figure out the problem so he thought it was a False misfire which is what I thought until the compression test…if anyone could have prevented it, by all means it was the previous owner.
Alright cool, i have a feeling i might have a hard time getitng some runs this year, i knew you would be good for it though, were the race whores :lol
update: the owner of the balck EF “Gaby” went to the track today to running low 14’s. Jrod got in the car and hit 13.0@105 . Driver change made a huge diffrence :nod
word, that blows, you bought a flogged car. oh well, all will come together and itll be running strong again.
yah…dodge world is really fucking pissing me off
Northstar has the motor out of my car. They are waiting for dodge world to get back to them. I just called dodge world about a Hour ago and the Service department guy that Im dealing with over there hasnt even ran it through his fucking service manager yet…ITS BEEN A FUCKING WEEK FROM TODAY and they still havent made a decision yet? WTF
who do you make payments to? my buddy had his evo at the dealer out in WA for a clutch and they took 39days to do it from start to finish, he told them im not paying the monethly payment and youre gonna have to eat it… the refused, he called his lawyer, he called the dealer, dealer called back, and said they are going to make the payment for him since they took much longer than the estimate was for… so if it goes over 1 month… something to think about doing
I just made my first payment on my car today. Im going through saratoga national bank
if the dealer has your car for more than 1 month i would try to do the same thing. because it should not take them more than 1 week to do it if they are an organized dealership, and northstar is pretty good, dodge world sounds like they are jerking you around
yah…northstar had the motor out saturday morning I guess…basically, the car is sitting there with a empty chassis waiting for dodge world…
I was reading the lemon law papers that I got with my car and it said if they have my car for 15+ days, I have a right to a full refund for my car…which I dont want, but I will throw it in their face at the end of the week if its still not done.
When my car was in an accident, the bank let me stop payments until I got my car back…
But if it’s 'cause of the shop that you don’t have the car, I would agree with Brett if it’s gone that long you should make them pay it.
andrew its going to show up on carfax ect. that it had a blown motor, perhaps finding a different ss isnt such a bad idea? just throwin it out there.
