Well, the other thread was closed. Jerry and S&R are going to talk things over like *responsible adults* to resolve the situation. We will post back once we have an update.

Im finding it hard to understand why its so convenient to down a new shop. Its funny that my car was on that very same dyno, the very same day the blue lancer was on it. It had the very same load issues which the shop was trying to figure out and I had no problems what so ever. There was another STi after mines that had the same results. I have video of my dyno pulls of the first day.

The fact is that any car is prone to breaking down. The blue lancer guy even admitted to streetracing other cars, basically dogging the living piss out of it on 23psi AND meth. The engine is BOUND to blow up. Like I've said before with the blue wagon WRX... When the egg has a hairline fracture on the shell, its bound to CRACK! It just so happen to take place on the dyno.

How can you explain when a NASCAR engine blows up, or an NHRA dragster's motor goes BOOM and the other doesnt? Its all on the workmanship, the parts quality and the how well it can handle loads of stress.

Its very convenient to blame somebody else when the fact remains, it was bound to happen. Man up and get it fixed... You gotta PAY if you want to PLAY!

So are you saying there was no user error whatsoever? and no issues with the dyno at all?

I think its amazing that you think because 4 of the 6 cars that dynoed didn't blow up that the other two shouldn't have either. Wow if every 1/3 car that got modded blew up every time they went on the dyno then there would be no such thing as dynos because no one would want to take their car with odds like that. Your logic makes no sense whatsoever. Why dont you be a man and post up that overloaded dyno video for all to see. Just because you got lucky and your car survived doesn't make it alright to dyno cars the wrong way.

Unbelievable you cant look at the charcoal spark plugs and see the mixture was nothing short of beautiful during all my so called running the piss out of the car. 1000 successful pulls on the street and 1 deadly pull on the dyno. Yeah it was bound to happen. What an idiot you are.

I just realized what car you drive. This is the very car that bobby drove on the dyno and brought the rpm to 3000. when the load was engaged the rpms went from 3000-0. He couldn't keep the car running there was so much load . Yeah the almight torque monster didn't have enough torque to even stay runinng. I hope that the video you will post.

no offence but the guy running the blue car is not exactly new to the game, or building engines and cars .. he's had one of the fastest street driven AWD cars in tampa since probably before you knew what a subaru was.

I dont doubt his ability to build and tune a very capable car and he definately knows his stuff. He is also from my dealings with him a very honest level headed guy. He didnt post all pissed, he posted in a calm factual manner with maturity.

I am gonna lock this thread too, not to silence anyone, nor to support any side but simply because honestly, having been involved in TR for almost 6 years now its just going to be a flame fest with inputs from everyone and their dog, mostly from people with no idea, or no connection to the issue at hand. Jerry and S&R will sort it out I am sure.
