The demise of the fiddy (when sloppy mechanics get bored)
Well last night, terribly bored, the sloppy mechanics crew was at applebees... Corey was saying how bored he was, how all our projects are done, and there really isn't much to do right now. We were talking of buying a cheap caprice or something and stripping it and spraying it till it blows up. Blowing it up eh? The conversation was leading into destructiveness, and we started talking about the sadistic relationship I have with my fiddy, and figured the next best step was for me to destroy the thing.
Ideas were flowing, spray it with nitrous, no regulator, burnouts till the exhaust was glowing... no oil. The list goes on.
What we ended up doing is, heading to Matt's work and picking up the work truck, grabbing my fiddy and AJ's minibike. Going to an industrial park and the mayhem started, I did some farewell wheelies and started with the burnouts, while i did my burnouts Corey was spraying nitrous out of the bottle strait into the carb, and it was definitely making more power but too much nitrous and it was stalling out.
Eventually the police showed up and we had a chat with him, we tried to convince him to do some donuts and burnouts but he pussied out, hahahh. He said we would tell on him, what a cop out.
So then we went to Matt's Dad's Business lot, beat them even more, more nitrous and then we got impatient so we drained the oil out of it, and drove it around even more, more rev limiter, more red hot exhaust...
This thing is amazing the amount of abuse it was taking, and well, with no oil it still ran, and sounded like it was fine, hahaha so we decided to add water, instead of oil, this was the ticket, it steamed up and was pouring out of the pcv after this the engine was getting only a tiny bit louder, so we held it on the rev limiter in 1st gear for a till it died... which took a surprising amount of time.
After it died, seemed to seize up, AJ and Eric told me to try and start it again. I gave it a simple, very lackluster kick, and the damn thing fired right up, instantly Corey grabbed the throttle wide open and it started to sputter, so he responds with kicking the shit out of the side of it and it tachs out once more, then slowly comes down and stops again.
This time there was no restarting the fiddy.
125 motor swap soon to happen. Stay tuned.
