Dont worry, that should buff right out

Pin hole leak in the radiator. Only surfaced while racing, never on the street or dyno. At UTCC we saw the coolant trail only on the driver's side vs. prior we saw it all over so it looks like it had come from the overflow tank.

I went about 10 times too many but from my experience it only takes one major overheating under full load on a stock motor to cause serious issues. On our built motors with ARP head studs and more torque it can handle more heat abuse.

Have no idea, sorry maybe you can contact them and they will remember. I just tried a bunch of fender flares, it fit, I bought it.

Yeah good thing I was wearing all my safety gear because when I popped the hood the fire exploded on me. Took about 5 minutes to put the fire out.

Wishing your car a speedy recovery! Any plans to do something different?

Thanks! We'll build one of our sick motors and I may jump to some serious rubber. Full cage, race seats, and big boost

TouchMyHonda · 07-24-2013, 01:44 PM

OH MAN!

Element Tuning · 07-24-2013, 06:45 PM

No matter how hot it is, trust me it was not as hot as this fireball that engulfed me at the Ultimate Track Car Challenge!

Wear your safety equipment even if it's just practice...anything can go wrong at any time!

Video is crunching right now.
