i have decided enough is enough and i am tired of slaving to get the parts for my car, so, I am going down a different road, one that has been traveled many times over with minor mods in the right places... I need this car functioning for daily capabilities and while it is in the air awaiting a new heart it isn't providing that benefit.
maybe further down the road I may pull a U turn and head back in the direction i was heading, but, as of now that ain't happening.
In the end we have only ourselves to blame. this case is no different, I will still frequent the site, but for now the 1.5 dies today and in its place the phoenix of project I.R.
Thanks for all the help guys...
Sorry to hear that dude. Best of luck with the next project

good luck with the new project wang... be the first to get a 4a to scream to 10k rpm!!! i tried and failed .....spectacularly! :)
good luck, and you can still do something spectacularly brutal with the 4A plateform
maybe you can be the one to stick a second 4A up the front :mrgreen:
twin twincharged motors, one in the back, one up front

paul if i may, what stopped it from hitting 10K, was it the OP or internals that went?
I have heard the 3S is well capable of 9k with a swapped OP

holy hell and WTF over... I can not decide what to do with my car... god this sucks...
Guys... just shoot me
I want a all around car
My feeling are best bet, 3S
20v is another option but i don't think i will be able to make the power i want from it
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

wang,if for arguments sake you had a jig that placed the 3s where it needed to go,something like the TB jig,would you go 3s?
(owen and i are thinking of making a US jig that can live over there permenantly,would you be interested in being its keeper? it would mean organising its distribution though and only via US TB members,do you want the job?)

I would def not mind that responsibility... I really want to go 3S... and I can get a Rev 3 relatively cheap
right now i can't afford Big Member status though I keep meaning to do it, but forget until i don't have money...lol
