Re: Guy looses Civic HB on pinks!
That "guy" owns/runs/founded Full Race. He built the car for the show. He really lost it and the RX-7 guys sold it on eBay a while back.
He doesn't give a shit that it's gone.

Re: Pinks: Civic hatch vs FC Rx7
Just some FYI on this, Geoff had told me about the Pinks show about 4 months ago, he said they were gonna paint it Pink and have a SOHC with turbo in it and have a Female driver for it too. I kept it hush hush! Last minute they decided to have Tony Palo drive the car instead of Andrea who is Jeff Evan's fiancee, Jeff Evan's is teh tuner of the car. All the parts were donated to that car, they used an off teh shelf Full Race turbo kit, originally a Stage 2 with a T3/60-1 BUT the turbo was fucked up so they put the Stage 1 turbo on it. Anyone notice all the stickers on the car? All parts were donated, they built teh car specifically for the show Pinks and they stated they could care less that they lost it cuz it was a fucking PINK HATCH that had a SOHC motor in it haha. Geoff Raicer owner of FR stated he did not want to buy teh car back even, the other guys won it fair and square so be it. Also tehy did have a flex hose coupler from the turbo to intercooler which ripped and leaked boost, the first pass on the show they were running boost then the next runs no boost or hardly any(I had ripped a coupler before and couldnt get more than 10psi even when turning the boost controller all the way up, later found ripped coupler too) Geoff Raicer has family in VA Beach and had dynoed his black EG Coupe here before, he will be here soon to visit family, MAYBE he will come hang out at one of the gatherings I dunno, I will ask him I am giving him an LS block for another project they are working on too
Also i felt this show was a million times better than any of the previous Pinks episodes, everyone acted mature IMO.

That FC was a fucking beast. Its funny though, I think he bogged the first couple launches on purpose...the launch on the last race was insane. Anyone have any info on that RX7?
Awesome.

Sickest pink hatch I've ever seen. haha Pinks! has turned into a half hour advertisement, so any team that loses really doesn't lose because they're getting "free" advertisement.
