Probably hasn't been posted in a while. Feel free to correct me.

I was browsing through some files, didn't recognize the filename, watched it, and laughed again... so I figured others would too. 😉

"M3's suck"

KABOOM!

"OMG!!! Was that your car???"

"My parents are going to be so pissed...."

:laugh:

Edit: Here's the "aftermath" video. The guy operating the camera is a dumbass. 😛

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I have it, let me see if I can find the space.

Here it is It's on a slow server if too many people view it might crash it.

Thanks, but way too slow...had to cancel. Anyone else have it?
 
was the m3 even trying? can't tell.

and was that jerky bumping in the beginning the eclipse bumping against the rev limiter?

madness
 
LOL, that is even better than some punks getting a speeding ticket after "wasting" you at the line when you aren't even racing. The M3 driver probably doesn't even know that happened...which is a shame. 🙂
 
Well the reason it blew the piston is he was bouncing of the rev limiter and most likely was running more boost than he should have been.

And what's with the gay long pinky finger nail? Coke-head??

Bouncing it off the rev limiter, while it certainly may shorten engine life, shouldn't have caused it to blow up.

I think this sums it up nicely,

I had tuned the car conservatively and was running rich. My EGTs had only peaked at about 880 deg C, I had no detonation, I was running only 18 psi, and I had not even added any additional spark timing advance. (Mods are listed in my sig and on my webpage.) I guess 78,000 miles of hard driving, 50 or so clutch dumps, around 10 drag strip runs, a few road racing events, ten or so autocrosses did it in.

Something was just weak in that particular engine, and gave out. The carnage that resulted is just what happens when something gives out at like 4000RPM... lol
 
that M3 driver had to be a woman. I drive faster than that in reverse.

Oh and for the mitsu owners, it's still an econobox not a race car 🙂

After reading the thread he made on the other site, that is not an econo-box. It WAS a all wheel drive turbo-charged 4 banger.

I'm not a fan of Eclipses, but I do like the all wheel drive turboed ones.
