Spun a bearing last month

Got my car back a week ago. Runs great. Think I got a shitty engine from factory but couldnt really do anything as I tuned it at 1200 miles (bearing went at 31,000). Rings didnt seat right for sure. All good now. Gonna grab maybe some Ohlins and ZR10s


$14,000 later sucks but it feels fantastic right now.

I've been following RacerX ordeal on you tube with his blown up Demon 170 motor. He posted a video this morning with the price of a replacement. Drumroll....

New motor = $28,000
Parts and Labor = $20,000

$48,000 for a car with less than 2000 miles on it. Dodge covered 100% of the cost under warranty, but still. 😬

Nobody will care how much it cost.

Anything that is bought to be collectible usually isn't. See the 80's Harleys for proof of that fact.
