Well guys my fun din't last to long, today i was trying to get a drive by video for you guys, and while i was doing 80mph i shifted to 4th gear and i misshifted and then i put it into 4th gear, but after it did the car was only able to rev but i was not moving any faster, and the check engine light started flashing.. this can only mean bad things.. a missfire more than likely.. i slow down and the car still drove but it feels like its is driving on one cylinder.. am glad i got me back to the house, as soon as i got back to my house i open the hood and everything seems normal.. so i disconnected the battery, am going to go back and connect it back in 15 minutes and see if the car turns on and what it does..

If this is something bad, i can do one of two things.., rebuild the engine with better parts or sell the turbo kit and buy another R18 engine and forget about going fast.. or i what will it take to get an engine from an Si and put it on there?

What do you guys think of all this? am guessing it was my fault because i was driving the car hard, but everything seem normal until that happen, and now the car while it idles the Air/Fuel ration stays on 10.00 to lean..
