motor goes BOOM **UPDATED PICS 4/12/13**

[Huehuecoyotl]

I can fly to florida on my own dime and provide the service of driving it for you, and will even pay my own speeding tickets. LMK!

I think I am more than capable of driving it for him.

which would've worked with the over boost prevention from the tune correct ?

I also have the FX400...it's obnoxious with the AC on and idling in neutral, kinda embarrassing when at the drive thru

Day to day driving I get used to it, of course when I'm really getting on the gas you can't hear it over the open dump pipe!

I have the same issue with my ACT. The only time it annoys me is with the A/C on and idling. I had a friend ask me if my car was broken once, haha.

The only noise you hear from the clutch during normal driving is sometimes a little chatter when decelerating in gear, but other than that its pretty quiet.
