Welp shit. My car was done. Made a few passes down the track at Tulsa, my lil' SOHC VTEC Turbo beast pulled off an 11.35 on slicks. 4th pass down the track the fuel filter fitting backed out of the fuel rail and sprayed race gas all over the motor igniting it into a huge fire ball. Needless to say, the hatch won't be coming home to NWA. Sorry guys.

Thanks, I think I've found a truck the C3's are awesome, but their suspension prevents me from bagging it, so thats a no go there charlie. Haha I don't know whats going to happen really, I might just end up buying a friends CRX from him, pulling all the shit off my CRX and putting it on there, and drop $4000 on a B18C5 or something. Muwahahahahahahahaha
