Julia Vargas? Not a very good place to run. Makes more sense to get out to Macapagal or Coastal.... or even to just get on the highway.

No amount of macho swaggering at the stoplighst can match the fun of running to Subic at over 200 km/h... and running out of oil, coolant or luck on the way there... :hysterical: (now don't you start, GH....)

wha? me?!? I was just going to mention how fun it was to stop at every gas station on NLEX just to check your engine's oil level on the way back. :thumbup:

nope... built-in feature of Lynx RS 2.0L engines. Rev it too high for too long (anything more than 5 seconds) and it drinks oil. If you do it long enough, it blows up. Natural built in rev limiter. :cool01:

Nah... not five seconds. It takes about fifteen to thirty minutes of continuous high-revving. Thus, the only time it really drinks is either during dyno tuning or while pinging off the rev limiter while chasing GH on SCTEX

Which is weird... because the SR20 is supposedly more prone to water pump cavitation at high rpms, and GH didn't boil over on the way. Of course, hard to get high coolant temperatures when the wind going through the radiator is flowing at over 220 km/h... :hysterical:
