19 degress out this morning up here, 2nd gear overboosted. I went wot through 1st and the second I let the clutch out in 2nd gear the speedo red 75ish and I was banging off my rev limiter doing a 180. Van in oncoming traffic moved out the way and missed a parked car by a few feet and smashed my rim pretty bad and bent a lateral link. No body damage I was amazed and damn lucky.. I usually only hit 7psi in 2nd, but that felt about 14psi.

you can't sell a crashed up car!!!



i figure at the point that i realize that I want to sell a car, I pretty much stop driving it to avoid any ironic situations. Glad to hear that it's an reasonably easy fix. You must respect the rotary POWA!!!11
