Actually it was exhaust valve... looks like all the cylinders tried munching on something...
 Nothing made it though the turbo though, no marks on any of the fins.

Since im in search of a new car what is your guys opinion of the stealth tt? Ive heard from many its too fat and sluggish. Either that or i join spy and give him a run in the lt1 category.

Either that or i join spy and give him a run in the lt1 category. 3S cars are heavy, but they can make the powAr. For my money, if I were to start a fresh project, it would be a single turbo V8, Fox chassis notchback, or LT1 F-body ($$ purposes). Easy, simple, fast, badass. Or an early Saturn 4 door turbo. Or a 2G MR2-T Or a Z32TT There are so many unique ideas that have not been done in this area, how do you choose? You'll be seeing quite a few neat tricks out of the fwd this year. Just have fun and be creative! If you need help, holla! PS: If you want to give Spy a run, I'm thinking of selling my non-vtec Civic hatch. Should be a good run... -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc

Hmmm...those must have been imposter 3S's asses I was kicking in my 'Geo' like AWD Talon. Honestly, I've rarely seen a well tuned DSM get beat by any 3S under 140MPH. 3S's are incredibly sexy, comfortable and stable with much higher top end than a DSM. I'm not sure what the fastest 3S is down to, but last time I checked they were at least 2 seconds slower than the fastest DSM's. All that being said, Spy's 3000gt was able to turn 12.99's in very stock form. Nothing to sneeze at!

Damn GEO's. smrtkd, where are these three 3S cars? To be honest, I know of two in the area that are decently quick, but a couple mods and a DSM would be right there. -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc
