Ouch...

Looks like your project cars are now on Trading Spaces

Yea that seems to be a trend around here lately. Sorry to hear smoker, but that crx should be a good running car once you get her goin.

guess your not selling me the crx huh terry?

I like CRX's, can't wait to see your finished project.

well if it becomes my main mode of transport it will definitely take longer to get done.......

my idiot friend has a Nissan sentra R. yes, nissan calls it their "R" edition. its a little beefed up sentra basically. anyway, my friend did a few little mod's to it, then he decided to get nos. well, he'd used it 3 times before, and the second time he blew his rings, the other day was the fourth time he used it, just for fun, and his engine litterely exploded. kind of like that mustang GT video that was on the net for a while. the one that was on the dyno and hit the nos button or something. basically i told him he's an idiot for even putting it in his car, and he finally believes me. NOS + any car that is not built to use NOS = disaster.

No, a small wet shot of nitrous is actually made for cars with little to NO modifications done to them. A stock engine can usually handle a 50 shot of nitrous without any problems. Your friend was probably just an idiot and trying to run 150 shot of nitrous on a mostly stock engine. Without upgrading internals, no car should run above a 50-75 shot of nitrous.

he ran it for a minute, not sure how much of a dose it was...but a minute seems like a little too long to me...and yes, no internal mods.
