Mike Wrote:awesome looking car. does he daily it? do his own work? what is he cutting throttle at (doesn't sound that high)?
no flames? boo.
Mike- My brother used to daily drive his 7, made about 3 x-c trips from TX to NJ and back. Now he has a "real" job, lol, and is workin in NYC so he doesn't drive it as much anymore.
As far as if he does is own work is Yes. He ported, polished, and rebuilt his own engine that's in his R1 right now. He also rebuilt the engine in his black vert (some guy overheated the car and by brother bought it off him and did the rebuild himself, deciding to keep the car).
For the dyno, ya it sounds really weired b/c of the hub attachment. He said they held the throttle at redline and it reved alot eaiser b/c of no friction from the wheels. I saw the dyno chart and they reved it to 7500-8.
for the flames, I am sure he had some, but the camera didn't catch it. He was onviously getting tuned, so he prob didn't have to many (not running so rich).
