Default Needswings NEEDS a website that WORKS

It seems Needswings website is permanently out of business. Have been trying for days to order off the site. Did they go out of business?

Yes, I told Rob that he is making too many SRT6's faster than mine. That wasn't the deal. LOL.

I'm waiting for the story on this one dude.
We were just talking about this yesterday...ya know... how much can these cars be modded before the engine blows.
I assume at the time of our conversation you were not aware that it had happened to yours ??

I posted in the other thread before reading here. So Eurocharged blew your motor? 185? Stacked? NOS? Tune? Either you were testing without care or trusting blindly. We all heard about the crazy high AFR's LET tunes were having with the 185, but weren't you datalogging to make sure you were safe? I should say you blew your motor, it's the owner responsibility to verify their mods are safe.

As much as I trusted Rob's mods, I tested each one at the track with datalogging. Dyno's won't accurately recreate a full 1/4 mile pass out in the open air.

Eurocharged- It wasn't too long ago that we were posting about protecting our members from the likes of code3 and their intercooler problems. Even posting why we don't hear the problems from the vendor only the members later. Riot posts you have more knowledge of the situation, can you blueprint a what not to do for everyone here. No one wants to blow their motor. Also why you didn't post this for the overall protection of the forum members?

My friend, before you start throwing stuff like that around I would suggest YOU RE-READ WHAT HE POSTED.

WE DID NOT BLOW THE MOTOR. WE ARE FIXING THE BLOWN ENGINE AS WE ARE THE ONES THAT FOUND THE PROBLEM. Throwing stuff like that around is dangerous business.

How do you know this and what were the signs? Leak down test, removed heads?

I think this would be the first official blown/broke m112 s/c motor ive heard of.

Riot, what NW part are you saying was out of spec, and are you blaming the broken engine on that?

So Eurocharged blew your motor? It was a question and you answered it. Thank You. So you had nothing to do with his motor. Just repairing it. That's great how about lettings us all know what's the repair cost if we end up at the same spot? Further down in the post I did say he blew his motor because owners have to make sure their mods are safe. It is our own risk to go fast or just stay stock.

So your saying that a cold motor ran hard will lead to this same damage? Stock or Modded? Or just a modded motor with his mods? How did you determine that the motor wasn't hurt on a previous 1/4 mile pass and just gave from a cold run?

You are correct it is dangerous for a business to be associated with anyone with a blown motor. Just to be clear you are not associated with his mods or tune. My apologies for making that assumption. So your saying that it was completely driver error?

Should this be a warning to everyone who doesn't warm up their car?
