Tired of trainwrecking other peoples threads? Well then, come party at the captains! Trainwreck this thread with…….trains? Anything goes here……….

Sorry to hear that captain, I bet you were having fun right up until that moment though.

She was putting in work. But damage to the bottom end and some on the top end of the motor will keep broke ass fools like me from the winners circle. A lot of the time, I will limp it on 7 cylinders if the end is with in 1 round. But two jacked cylinders running on 6 total?
Yeah, best to pack it in, and keep a serious catastrophe at bay. Granted I was able to fix the rod, but I fear the damage had already been done. The spun bearing is most likely what caused a break on the rocker. There is only so much these old motors can withstand, sometimes all it takes to break things is a bit of tire shake, or my dumb ass not setting the front end down smooth at launch. So many varieties of “fuck you man” this car shows me.

Peep the date, this was from my last big win when my uncle used to still roll with me. It’s almost 20 years ago. 35 grand went a lot farther back then. Now I’ve won some shootouts and a few bracket races since then, but the majority of wins I get nowadays is me finding egocentric youngbucks in grudge callouts on test and tune weekends. I do well in that department. But sanctioned races nowadays cost a lot to enter. And man these folks with all the fuel injection kits that they can tune by hooking up a laptop? It is tough to run them. Granted they are all pussies,
But I fear I will be making the jump to a twin turbo ls with Holley fuel injection over the carb and conventional Pontiac blocks. For the large field races and as hot as the track gets, I need a bit more versatility in my tuning game. I hate it, but it’s looking like I may have to go that route,

Nothing on earth like it homie.
Adrenaline squared.

It’s nice to come home to preflower.
So it begins. The bunker will be killing the game in no time. and also cloner box maintenance, it would blow your mind the weird shit that builds up in the sprayer heads.
Going over these is a good idea if you have them running in your kit.

Yeah that’s definitely a whole different ball game at that point. I can barely operate a laptop by itself, if you hooked it up to the ecm I’d be so afraid of messing it up. I bought some wireless trail cameras this past hunting season and I needed to download load firmware and blahh blahh blah. I was so afraid of messing up the girlfriend’s work computer that I just gave up. You wanna see a monkey get angry and start throwing shit, put a computer in my hands.

Are ther forms of silica that won’t harm microbial life? I’ve heard its not necessary for autos but my last was pretty flimsy and I’m growing the same variety again so… can anyone reccomend

If you ain’t breaking things you ain’t racing buddy.
It comes with the territory when you run a bucket of bolts like I do.
So many things that are purposely NOT upgraded. And I’m stubborn af and run NOTHING but Pontiac gear in her. It’s looking like that may change.
There are just so many things that have my dad’s finger prints that I have refused to upgrade. Shit I even kept the waaaaaaaay too 70’s paint job. I mean look at the lettering only things it doesn’t have is a set of bell bottoms and a pocket fisherman. But it is definitely memorable as she sits. People remember the car bc no one rolls that way nowadays, folks have names for the cars they drive and all, but the names are usually machined onto valve covers intakes and things like that. The Pontiac is og af. And yeah man, I guess this old goat has to get with the times…..careful up there sparky

I'm sorry to hear that you may have to get with the times. The times are bullshit and often ain't got no soul..

No soul and faaaar too many keystrokes.
It’s not like I’d ever sell the old Pontiac bullets i do have, 69 gto blocks bring a pretty penny too. I have 2 spares filled with hard block just waiting for some fire. I just think if I want to be more competitive, and bet your ass I do, I fucking HATE losing homie, I’m either going to have to finish the big block Chevy that’s on my rack, or go LS, which I think is gonna be the route I take. There are so many varieties and badass parts for them, it is cheaper too in the long run. But bro, you ain’t lying. Ain’t shit got the flavor or soul like the good ol days.

"Progress" is overrated, and a philisophically loaded word that is mindlessly taken for granted.. Hypostasis of the Archons. Dig the lyrics. I'll paste them since you will certainly not be able to make them out ;)) Fun little family sing along..

You corpse animators, charcoal burners,
moulders of wax, adherants to the Seen

The Black Hand pushes
Your- agnostic reflex
You- automatons
Of- the animatronic sham

You're planted in the Garden of
Earthly Corporate Temple Messiah

the baby-crackers boomed
and echoed off the Bardo
like half-assed Prometheans
with stupid macrame crowns

Saran-wrapped neurotic SMI LE’s
around the Vajra Hell
and sold the "goddess" back to a world
already drowning in Bohemian Snake Oil

Draw open the curtains of the Abyss
where Mother and Father can't
keep up appearances

They switched to Merck-Amphetamines
Our Fearless Leaders have
packed their bags for Babel

And from that PR tower
they shine the beacon down
upon the vampirized world

Where corpse-fucker "artists" back-engineer
their stupid props to attract the dim sparks
back to the dungheap
& now they all shovel shit
down the throat of their beloved Moloch

I've watched the best minds of my generation
prostrate themselves before the myth of
Progressive Evolution
like a bunch of fucking dressed-up rats
spreading "civilization" like its the plague

All points of view
are points of sale

in the Market of the Visible
Equipped with Grand Scale Optics
Transhorizon offshore nations
offer you the best in False Frontiers

A pseudo-individual
is a resource to be mined
like any other product
only, this one sells itself

Where Good is the Harness of the Slave
and Evil is the lash of the Overseer
The Master takes no heed
(but where is there such a Master?)

Under watchful eye of the Unholy See
you Obey Your Thirst like cap-

murdered human race

Behold the Antagonist,
on the Throne of this world
Who dares help him
build in the House of God?
These mortifyers are
sucked dry by the Druj
of their cryptotheocratic nightmares

So who will defend the Temple?
NO ONE! NO ONE! NO ONE!
Burn it down!

[Putthataway]

Oh and on top of that I had to change a connecting rod solo too, I knew it’s time was near, I had 49 runs on the current set, so I will be taking the other 7 from That set out, and most likely going to have the crankshaft machined. Where there is one, there is usually 2. Spun the FUCK out of the bearing and destroyed the journal. Looks like a pack of badgers went looney on it. Into the spent pile they go……at least they got me through the round. It’s amazing she held up through this. Will be turned into art once I fire up the welder. Car parts make cool wall hangers. I have spent rods, and pistons all over the house……lesson? The data doesn’t lie, follow a formula on wear and tear, set a average number of runs before you freshen everything up, I tempted fate, loot has been tight this year, these are the things that happen to Pontiac folks who want to cut a corner….

You went racing on a Monday? Sorry to hear that the motor gave out. My buddy has had this awd 95 civic build going on for about two years. I call it the 100k civic, the tuners bent the rod with a fully built motor on about half the boost the motor can take.

It was a multi day contest with a rain day that pushed things longer.
Them awd cars a damned menace. In a good way.
Serious bummer when the tuner is tweaking the innards like that. It’s been a loooong time since I bent a rod. That’s some damned heat building up in that block when that happens. Or the harmonic balance is off but then you would see other damage in the components leading up to the rod…Sounds like a cooling system upgrade wouldn’t hurt…..I run seperate coolers on the Pontiac, one for the motor and one for the trans…..a split load on the high end performance end of things is no bueno, as I am positive your friend already knew or knows.

1984? Bro I stole a fat book from the library

I learned about lifters rockers camshafts carburetors

I had no practical experience no way to actually put my hands on it
