Thats like thinking your GF has never been fucked before. Don’t be DUMB people. I have no problem saying I run the ever loving piss out of my car.

Will provide 1/4 mile slips and dyno sheets for proof. As a buyer, it’d be nice to know the car doesn’t have any issues and will stand up to being run hard. Other than being dirty all the time, my car is mechanically perfect, and I’m way more anal about it than i need to be. LOL This. Anyone who is looking at buying a car that has any sort of modification is an idiot if he truely belives when he is told the car “wasnt beat on” Leaving this in the “performance” category, any “performance” type vehicle or sports car was probably beat on by its previous owner or some d-bag during a test drive. The difference being whether or not the car was beat on and taken care of, or just had the ever living piss beat out of it without a care in the world. I beat the shit out of my Z, I beat the shit out of my G20… but I took good care of both cars. Wayne beats on his cobra like he said, but he does it responsibly, he doesnt just run it into the ground until something broken. ---

Should have placed that bet 😉 :lol Given the current running condition and remaining compression on cyl 4 it may be a decnt candidate for 99.5mm forged pistons. If not I can get standard 100mm over bores. But this is all hypothetical until the car comes back to get worked on ---

Considering every ej257 I’ve seen/worked on/heard off with low comp on cyl 4 with stock pistons has had a cracked ringland, I don’t really need a magical xray compression tester to assume the problem. So relax. ---
