Lovely day coming home from the races

[123abc]

Went to the dragstrip today, saw about 300 14 second and slower honda's driven by asians, and a few nice cars. On the way home, for some reason I had this huge exhaust leak. I pull over and check it out, nothing seems to be getting damaged, so I continue. About half way home, I stop at a stop sign and all of the sudden I see blue smoke rolling out from under the hood, I quick pull over and shut the car off when I see I have 0 oil pressure.

Take a look, oil EVERYWHERE in my driver's side wheel well. So I make a few calls, and find a trailer. My dad arives with the trailer, and we take her home. Apon further inspection, I see the downpipe must've blown completely off the o2 housing and melted some of the plastic oil pressure line hose away.

So, tuesday I get to change the oil, bolt up the downpipe, and run a new line to the gauge. I just really hope nothing is damaged, this engine isn't cheap. This picture says it all:

Damn! Hope you get her running again quick! Still plan on dynoing? :D

As of right now, no. We'll see how it is when we're there. If I feel comfortable, then ya.

Take my name off the list though, don't want to leave anyone out that wants a spot.

Should have her fixed by then, along with some other things. Really want to slap on the 1g eclipse spoiler, but it needs to be painted black first. Exhaust should be run up better too by then, since me and Jake worked things out.

Time will tell.

Today was just the weirdest thing ever though. She ran like a top the whole hour and 15 minutes it took to get there. But as soon as I left the dragstrip, I heard the exhaust leak. Just doesn't make sense.

Cars hate the track.

What's really funny is I didn't race. I watched.

Did you see my car with the chute on it? Bastards wouldnt let me run it! Sucks about your car... Niteryder is right, cars hate tracks!

Who drives the white Evo? And, what did it run? I only caught the last 20ft of the run but, it looked pretty quick.

that is why I use copper line for the oil press gauge

Haha, yea dude. That chute was funny. Why didn't they let you run it?

TKR: The plastic line was on it when I bought it, but this time around I'm following the proper ways.....when something breaks, upgrade it. Steel braided line ftw.

Kind of suprised me. Weren't many impressively fast cars there. Pretty cool Luke's 240 ran a 12.8 @ 105. WAAAAYYYY too many 14 second Honda's though. That green widebody FD had some nice body work, but I didn't see him run any faster than a 13 flat.
