Pictures of your messed-up shit.

I saw a couple of Scott's photos in the other thread, and I know the rest of you have some good ones.
These are mostly from my karting days. 7 complete rebuilds on that motor in 18 months made for some great photos. :) Not normal, but not uncommon. This strut holds the seat to the chassis. Attachment 215488 Not normal wear. Attachment 215489 Don't get run over by other karts :bigtu: Attachment 215490 This was caused when I ran WOT for a half a lap with no header during an endurance race. Thin cylinder left the piston 3" from exposed air; exhaust ports must have dragged in some extra air. extra air = cracked piston Attachment 215491 Attachment 215492 Attachment 215493 See something missing? Attachment 215494 I don't know how this happened. That's the flywheel and clutch, and the starter motor gears on the left. Attachment 215495 Don't run over other karts :bigtu: Attachment 215496 These two are from when the motor spat up a circlip and seized. Attachment 215497 Attachment 215498 We think this happened from throwing a chain and cracking the pin. This pin holds the two halves of the crank together, with the rod in the middle. The rod from this incident is now the keychain for the trailer locks. It made interesting noises. Attachment 215499 Attachment 215500 I wish I could take credit for this one. Attachment 215501 There's an entire intake manifold and reed valve piece that's simply missing from that photo: Attachment 215502 These are all from a single kind of motor, an IAME Leopard, which is a single-cylinder 125cc 2-stroke. Recommended redline is 15,000rpm, but anyone who was competitive was spinning them deep into the 17,000rpm range. Lifespan at those RPMs was 3-5 hours between full rebuilds, with a rebuild costing around $600. |
i only messed up my shit once. too bad i didn't have a camera when it was laying upside down.

I'm being a picture whore today.
2001 CBR 600F4i + Invincible 17 year-old with 10 years experience = ... Before: Attachment 215480 Attachment 215481 Attachment 215482 After: Attachment 215483 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s/DSC00998.jpg Attachment 215484 Me, after 6 hours of the most excruciating pain I've felt thus far in my life. I advise against getting road rash to anyone that is contemplating it. Attachment 215485 Attachment 215486 Attachment 215487 After that, my mom forbid me from having a motorcycle until my 18th b-day, so I got the Miata. Then my dad bought me a Ducati for my birthday, since he missed his riding buddy. Now I wear a leather, better-fitting jacket instead of the textile one that was slightly too big, and I don't do wheelies except on my dirtbike in grass. |
OUCH! fuck that! i walked away without a scratch, thank you harddog and willans
|
Paul, you didnt flip at the gap did you? Sounds very similar to a friend of a friends story.
|
I think the gap is more than 8 miles from home for him.
|
no. just went out to charge my cell phone cuz i lent the house charger to the girlfriend. happened around Ewing, NJ.
|
94 probe GT, t3/t4 at 14psi. transmission locked up in 3rd gear, and my comp stage 5 didnt slip, snaped #3 rod in half, piston came up and hit the head. still have the piston and half the rod on my desk next to me.

jesus what did you do with the car? strip it down for parts and get another shell? What was that headlight setup on your old car?
|
Man paul i've seen those pictures before, what a horrible crash. Did you just lose the ass end, drop a tire off the road or what?
|
parted it out, kept the motor and trans with 235k miles and put it in the miata you all see in my avatar for another 45k miles before swapping it into my black 95.
the headlights were just 2 sets of projector driving lights. they were actually responsible for the accident. since they were so deep into the headlight opening they provided no peripheral light. i didn't see a deer running out until it was right in front of the car. missed the deer but then was so fucking distracted i didn't see i was going into a 90degree turn. launched it off a pile of dirt and rock and it came down on the roof. |
Do i see you still have those headlights in the new red one in your avatar?
|
no freaking way. that car runs the Hella 90mm light modules as found in the Moss Lowpro kit but with real HID setup from a Bimmer.

Hit an F-150 in the rear axle (shithead ran a stop sign). I slid about 80 feet (was going just "slightly" over the speed limit) <G>. The shitty thing was that the car was a near perfect '92 with only 40K miles on it. One of the nicest Miatas I have ever seen. The great thing about it was that the asshole had his Harley in the back of his pickup truck (he didn't want to rock it by actually stopping at the sign) and that shit went flying into a ditch when I hit him.

All this destruction makes me cringe.
|
Man you guys can tear some shit up. The carnage is sickening.
