What Blew Up Travis's STi?

I feel for him though. Spend a ton of money on a car and find out that it was raped. It’s like getting punched in the balls. Fortunately, even though he paid dearly for it, the car appears to be solid.

its still is gettin raped and car needs a lot of work…and i mean a lot

Thought a new motor was put in that recently got a good tune?

Unless that jack stand incident caused some issues?

nah car is runnin out of tune to a extent the c.e.l is on for a 02 sensor …clutch still shot and other things awry wit the car but its not my place to say but it needs a lot of help and it aint gettin it

I thought he bought a clutch?

no …he has no money but he just stated workin for his old ladys father so who knows he has to play catch up first

word, that’s unfortunate because I love sti’s, I’m sure he will get it together soon, or atleast I hope he does

Thought he got a higher paying job and paid off all sorts of debt?

who knows i cant keep up anymore

i have no idea about sti’s so i dont have .02 cents to put in

first off… john you dont know dick so stop running your fucking mouth about my car. the clutch is weak… yes… a stock clutch trying to put down almost double the stock hp is going to slip. hmmm odd… who would have ever thought of that. i have a bad radiator cap and a bad upstream o2 sensor…otherwise the tune is solid, the car runs very well and SHOULD be good for a 12.2-12.5 @ 110-114mph. AS IT SITS!!! thats taking the clutch, radiator cap, and o2 sensor into account.

secondly… SHAWN… there was NO AFR problem when i went to new jersey. the tune i received in nj pointed out some boost leaks and a faulty boost control solenoid. you guys really need to stop speculating about this shit. my car is going to run at lvd either sat or wed to get a base number before she gets the new clutch, rad cap, o2 sensor, then retune for 112oct… just shut the fuck up about stuff. john man u can be cool sometimes but lately ur really starting to be more trouble than ur worth…

you all can flame me if u want… i could give 2 shits what someone says on an internet forum, but for fucks sake… if u aint got the fuckin cajones to say it to my face… eat a dick.

oh so now after all i did for ya ya wanna say fuck u to me eat a dick asshole your car is hurt your the idiot that put a used clutch timing belt and other shit on a new motor …so who dont know dick your the one who crys to me when suttin happens to it so i see it first hand i never said dick bad about the car other than it needs help so go fuckin cry to someone who gives a fuck im done helpin ya i felt bad as i thought ya got fucked over but i see it was your own fuckin fault for it so when ya grow the fuck up call me …

Are you sure?

but the air/fuel was WAY out of whack (9.4:1)

or

thus the 9.4:1 afr i was in shock… (and found a reason for shitty mpg)

shits getting heated in here…

I like pink…

Vagina’s.

afr was from boost leaks… boost leaks fixed… no more afr issues post tune.

wait wait wait… you helped me with shit… that doesnt give u a free pass to act like a douchebag towards me and talk shit. my car has MINOR things that need replacing… and wait… you put in A USED o2 sensor that was fucked from the get go in my car. the car doesnt need help… it needs maintenance and a stronger clutch. nothing more, nothing less. ps, use some punctuation next time so i know what the hell u are saying when trying to insult me.

I was referring to your trip DOWN to NJ and prior with a shit AFR.

eat a dick it was to get ya inspected ya run your mouth well on the comp but wont answer phone whos the fag now …now brush your teath they insult everyone near ya ya think its all jokes about it but your shit smells like hot shit on 100 degree day… so to say i dont know shit just proves your ignorance once again trav fucks someone that helps him

whoa whoa whoa.

you built your motor.

but re-used your timing belt?

WOW.

:rofl

it is of course possible there was motor damage done prior. anything is possible… but when my current tuner tells me the tune on the car (when it blew up) was garbage and i was lucky my new block made it there in 1 piece… i get a lil suspicious. (and that was staying out of boost the whole trip, still misfiring like a sonofabitch) 117 miles on 3/4 of a tank (~12 gallons)… not kosher with me.
