ahh but my stated reaply was "wtf are your aprons removed for?" Notice the ? mark at the end? Umm yup no one attacked you they simply asked you a ?.
PS: Thats Dave the bigger one owner of speedmachine.
Don't be an idiot, you came off like an ***. Again if you want to be better recieved then may I suggest next time trying something like "Hey why did you remove your aprons? " instead of "What the **** did you do that for?" It might work out better for you.

Coil problem? Do tell! I just finished playing around with all my ignition system's hardware... =(
You are scaring me.
btw beautiful job. You paitence must be endless
Last summer I had a crane hi6 on the car and when I took it off I damaged the harness so when I repaired it and tapped it all up I had the index of the positions kind of off I guess and I plugged in the coils in the wrong order. Yea big mistakle but at the time the tuning was off so it was hard to tell and I didn't boost it really. So anyway long story short. I got the car up to my master of disaster Ray Wilson of PFSupercars and started tuning and came across the problem, compression tested and realized the compression was low on the back and you can figure out the rest.
Small mistake on my part that cost me a motor. What can I say.

I am the guy that did the negotiation for us. They mis labeled our names though, so it said my name was Dave Localio or some ****. Close but no 
The car we raced is mine. Matt, the other shop owner with me, had never driven the car before, but I figured that I would negotiate better since it was my car, so Matt drove. Only prolem was that he had never driven my car before. That showed I thought as he sucked the first few and got better as we went on. Plus the last run I turned the boost up to 12psi
Anyway, didn't want to tread jack, just wanted to reply to your questions. But then again, it's your post anyway!
