I figured this would happen. I asked twice if he wanted to hit my house ( litterly across the street from the parking lot ) and upload the video to my PC ( just got a new one, I'm ready to see the speed, coming from a 450MHz ).

Anyway, I'm sure Troy will have it up soon. Wish it could have been attached to the mofo-production video

To make my week better.... On the way home the damn tire about came off !!! I guess I broke ANOTHER wheel stud since Saturday night ( haven't messed with the tires since Sat., I usual roll stock tires during the week ). Anyway, with 3/5 lug nuts, I had to stop like every 50yards on my way home to tighten the lug nuts ( good thing I work nights ). So I just replaced all 3 busted studs tonight.

The neon isn't burning or losing oil ( staying out of boost ). All the SRT4 guys say its a piston b/c 99% of the time these motors lose oil/water out the side of the motor when its the HG. Everyone seems convinced its the piston ring(s) compression rings. Besides sounding like an STi at idle, it rides and drives fine still. No overheating, no burning oil, no water in the oil.

Looks like the nitrous is out, but I might come back almost as fast without it. I'm just going to go with stock SRT4 stuff again, since I'm getting rid of the nitrous ( see power adders for sale ).

I can't complain. I abused the car for close to 3 years, and ignored the Knk sensor on the bottle ( never said it was a smart thing ).

I'm not looking forward to losing my nitrous, but I need the money to rebuild the motor, gotta do, what ya gotta do....

Thanx again to everyone that came out.
