Default Snapped the k member

Guess don wasnt kidding when he said the car was all over the place. Looks like it snapped on one of his passes at the track. Good timing at least, motors coming out anyway to have engine bay painted. I almost made it all year too....

Guess its making good power still

edit...pics are down a few posts

why not buy my other one that needs a rebuild? They are 1600-1900 new...rebuilds go from 200-500 I will let it go for cheap. Everything looked pretty good in it, no impeller issues or anything like that. Most likely seals and bearings.

Hey man, I spent $14k in the last 1.5 years getting everything together for the build. Her leash isnt that tight Seriously though, I think I'll just run her N/A for the summer to log on miles and get used to using the accel Gen7 DFI.
