HA, no worries here. lightened flywheel saves that from happening.
as for the beater, heheh, ya i got one pic right now,
i need to wash it and scrub the interior, really dirty
and it needs a paint job, alot of scratches, o well

You should hook your Beater up with bad-ass SR...

My friend was driving his 98 vtech prelude and got to a stop sign. As soon as no traffic was coming he launched and dumped the clutch and got it up to like 60 to 70mph in third gear and tried to shift into 4th. As soon as he tried to shift....all of a sudden we heard this really loud grinding noise and the stick knocked itself out of 2nd into neutral. Right away his check engine light came on. As his car was still rolling at 60 something mph...I told him to turn off the car and turn the ignition back on... In a Honda the service engine light will sometimes go back off, depending on what was done to the car.
Well it did not go back off, and so he got on it pretty hard ... to see if any serious damage was done. After driving around a little, it seems he floated every one of his valves. It has been about a month and he still has not had his car checked out...
Now his car is starting to leek oil... I don't really know what is wrong with the car since he still has not had it checked out, but he told me starting last week... His car will completely shut off when he is idling at a red light. Then he will have to turn it back on. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

to the friend with the prelude, his motor will probably need to be rebuilt, he is an idiot for driving around like that after doing that to his car.

So what all do you think may need to be rebuilt or checked on the Prelude story I wrote.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

If you plan on having a high powered, high revving car then upgrade your flywheel. It's usually one of the most overlooked mods for beginner enthusiests.
Glad it wasn't a 240 though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I did that a couple of times while driving an old cavalier. Scared the shit out of me everytime.
