Default Gearing Issues

I installed some new gears, and raced some fools, and lets just say I will take anyone.

So I went street racing in a residential area, they marked it 25MPH but I easily can get up to 155MPH.

So anyway, I plugged in my laptop into the USB port on my body kit, and made some tweaks to my ECU, to raise the roof (thats the rev limiter to some ignorants).

I pulled up kinda hard with the top dropped, some 6 year old and his dad were like nice car.

I was like, "VTECH"

I revved it up to 10,500, until I could hear valve chatter, I dumped the clutch, and my new gears/diff blew out, a buddy down the road had timing lights set up, clocked the diff flying at 164.83MPH near the quarter mile.

However, it sliced the little boys arm off, so it slowed it down.

So now I am worried about the warranty, I plugged my laptop into the Mugen decal port to retune the ECU but I am worried Honda won't cover the diff.

Honda won't mind...I did a similar thing to my Z.

I lowered the 'floor' (that's the "un-rev anti-limiter" to complete idiots) to negative 9000 RPMs. Now torque hits a peak of 750 lb-ft at -1500RPM. Anyway, my cousin clocked me going six thousand miles an hour down a coldisac with a speed limit of 3...would have been 6,500 MPH...if not for that three headed (now two-headed) dog.

This 55 year old lady came up to me and said "bitchin' car" so I turned on my flux capacitor...went back 50 years and had relations with a young version of said old lady. Then I come back and realize that I had broken my engine mounts....all 37 of them.

So I took out the capacitor, threw it in my Nismo trash can, took the car down to the Nissan dealership and they had no clue.
what a bunch of idiots those guys are.
