Default My new diff runs 12 second quarter miles

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.

I always post my serious problems on here when time permits.

I don't take videos or pics of my car, because, all my mods, and tuning are top secret.

so it was clean slice huh? surprised the kid's only got a sling from having an entire arm sliced off. i'm still suspicious of your story. but slightly less so now.
