Hey everyone, I'm Adriana and drive a 98 kouki! I tend to break it a lot and spend a lot of time fixing it. :crazy:
I'm currently building another SR due to blowing it up at the track.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Don't forget to drop some knowledge on the new SR fellas.

Thanks! I'll try to remember to take some pictures. Usually my dad is the one taking pictures of me working on it.

Here are some videos. These were all on straight waste gate.

hahah looks like you still beat the other guy even with the blown motor.

Did you ever determine what blew it up? Detonation?

Haha, I did! :D

Yeah I pulled a 2-3-2 :( Mistake everyone makes, but most people dont get THAT kind of damage. It sucks since we had just rebuilt it and only had it running for about 2 months. But it's okay, it'll be even better than last time! It was only the one piston like that, with detonation it wouldn't have been just the one. :)

True, unless you blew metal all through the engine and kept going.

That sucks though! Good luck with the rebuild!

I love the meaty wheel and tire combo. Looks ready to attack the track.
