Dang I was hoping it would be at SRP.

Rumor has it that Lucas is coming over with the 10 second stock EVO.

Lucas is stopping by tonight and heading to SRP for tomorrow's races. Last word I got out of him was that he was not going to trailer the car so he will be on street tires. He is wondering if and how long they will let him run. On street tires he is around 11.2 but the car is not NHRA legal.

Well we got the car started yesterday, about 3 times. However it shuts down after about 25 seconds. Were not sure what it is but we do know its in the wireing, hopefully we'll be able to figgure it out soon. But it does run!!!!! When it started it fired right up and it sounded great to hear it run again. Its been almost a year. Hopefully Ill be getting some dyno vids here in the next week if we can figgure this out. And I know PICS!!!! I will get some up, not to worry.

Had this happen to a customers car once. It ended up being a bad coolant temp sensor and in the AEM map the fuel pump is configured to only work over a certian amount of coolant temp, so it would fire up, run for a few seconds then shut the fuel pump off and kill the car. It took me awhile to figure out wtf was going on.

Check and make sure your coolant temp sensor isn't reading like -90 degrees or something.

I am not sure if this can happen with eclipse cam sensor, but on honda this same symptom is due to cam\crank sensor settings on the magnetic pickups. The signal in some cars is weak, so adjusting the "crank H sens below" "cam L sens above" "cam high sens below" and "cam low sens above" fix this same symptom. Some times this is due to sync errors.

Im planning on making the event. Hopefully we'll get everything said and done and the bugs worked out by then or most of them at least. I think Jake is hanging up the helmet for the rest of this season. I could be wrong.

After all the recent carnage i'm certain Jake will not be racing anymore in his 1G in it's current form

Thats sick, everything about the car is sick...

You and Evil Eagle just need to figure out how to get those damn awd drivetrains to hold up with all that insane power, im thinking converting to drive train parts from another car. ( i.e. muscle)

Keep up the great work and post more pics, hope it starts soon, Id like to see what it can do!

I really like the upper radiator mount for some reason. It's those little fabs/creations that add to the details and make a car nice. Also, to the turbo bracing.

I bet no one even noticed that thats a Civic radiator... wheres the filler cap? Or the push locks on all the wastegate and BOV fittings instead of rubber lines. Well I guess you cant really see those but they are there.

get some pics of the push lock fittings to show everyone...i ran those same style fittings on my paintball guns back in the day...i tried them out on the last build on my srt4 and man, it looks soooo much cleaner and definately easier to mess with that the rubber hoses and zip ties or worm gear clamps...
