So you over reved it then?

mine has cams, set to 7500 and although I very rarely hit the limiter it often sees the redline, shift right after the first red line but I can sware it is right ther at the edge on 7500 and has not failed. Like said, bad luck and/or a tired engine. this things are not foreever, they are at least 6 years old, but you mentioned it did not have OEM valves, I take those would be the weak links on your chain.

So forgive me if I'm wrong, it was setup and mapped to 7350rpm and you thought it would be just fine to raise it the rev limit more? Without adjusting anything like timing/fueling all the other parts you do calibrationwise etc etc?

That looked buggered lol.
Although, i honestly cant remember the last time i hit the limiter, in any car!!

Ha. You made me look at EK9's.
This, whilst looking like a shed, is my type of car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/573123.htm

Actually.
Wow Dave! I love lightweight cars and especially EK's, however that looks dog s**t frankly! The way that looks makes it look like a EK9 rep.

There's a reason a race base looks like that. It's expected it'll be taken and all the interior thrown in the bin anyway (would have thought being a cup owner that thought would have crossed your mind with yours ) then replaced with a bride bucket, takata's and a cage then off to play. Why pay more for the recaro's, red carpets etc if you plan to strip it anyway. Common sense
