hahahahaha i remember that one.

if you can afford a new s2000, you should have enough of a brain to realize that drenching your cams in N2O is not good...

i think if i ever saw someone with a nitrous line going to the valve cover, id die of a heart attack.

Funny stuff sounds liek the kids at my school. Both just blew up there engine the next dya after chanigng oil. When engines were blown the checked oil and it had only 1qt. honda civic and 3000gt. Now at my old school the one im goign back to..well 90% of them don't know how to even pump gas.Let alone even check their oil. Say a kid one day skipping class to change his oil in the school parking lot. Admistrator came over just as he took the plug off and scared him and got oil all over him.

It's funny because he thought it was a good idea to remove the filter AND start the motor to remove the oil from the motor. Admittedly, anyone that thinks that's a good idea shouldn't be changing their own oil.

I am speachless. You know, I'm not gonna trash the guy though. I'm sure enough people already have. I'll just say this, some people just need to leave mechanical things alone. If you don't know what you are doing, or need help with something, please, ask for help. Drain plugs are not that hard to remove, ESPECIALLY on a car that new. He was probably turning it the wrong way, or he is only 8 years old and not strong enough yet to loosen it.
