    ego, whats the point in even writing about the raised boiling point of pure water everyone knows there will never be a sterile environment on a race car therefore nothing will ever be pure. you wrote this to tryin make everyone think you are so smart and a genius, there was no point in writing that other than for that reason. but we now know your smart enough to watch myth busters. plus anyone that has ever watched it know alot of it is bs anyways.
    thanks,

      I never believed that there would be a completley sterrile enviroment, that is insane to believe, but that is one of the reasons that the idea that distilled would work better, the other that I already pointed out was that there are less minerals and salts to cause buildup in the cooling system. If you look at when I siad it I said the ONLY waht it may woke would be with a clean all aluminum engine because the total contamination level could be kept to the very minimum. I also said it would not have that advantage with any Iron engine.

        It's Funny that Howe recommended me to run distilled water in it, and went on further saying to be sure and only use the stuff that says "this water is made by a process of distillation" on the label and not to use any that doesn't say that.

        But then again WTF would Howe know?

        Check out the lable's, that verbiage is actually on there, sometimes hard to find, but on there

        It's 3 dollar investment for christ's sake, try it some time........... Lol

            oops I think you got lost in the rambling of this thread. It appears your agree distilled is a way to help cool a motor. Just like I believe.

            I dont know everything, far from it. BUT I do know Ego is usually wrong and is not helpfull on this forum and he doesnt race doesnt do anything on race cars period.

            There are lots of forums he would enjoy and not lead people down the wrong path like he does here with incorrect information about set up, motors whatever. This is a forum to help others and SHARE information not show how smart you are.

            All I do is help others on here, you dont seem to like it but then thats likely because you know Im helping make cars you race against FASTER and you like most dont actually want competition.

                lol, I dont know if it does anything or not, I just run it because Howe suggested I do, and I figure they are in the know.

                I actually contacted Howe about 5 pinholes in a brand new radiator, after 2 races (the back side), and that is where the water quality issues stemmed from, and that led to the distilled water deal, it had nothing to do with cooling properties

                Competition? I love competition, help them more, there is only 2 or 3 other coil cars out here besides mine, and when their lap times will fall in the top 5 modified times, or the bottom 5 latemodel times consistantly, they will be fast enough to play

                LOL

                  I agree with you, lol.

                  I dont know why ego bothers on here at all. thats the point. I ignore his stupid posts but then people are told WRONG info about set up, this and that etc.

                          funny thing is the series promotor and all the other people asking me if I would make it to the track to race friday?

                          They would never ask that of anyone with that car but me, lol... I rolled may 28th in the heat, fixed it and started the A a hour later. had to cut weld and repair a lot of parts then.

                          this is actually just needing the body out of the way, radiator mounts, rf horn up about half inch, left front rotor busted clean apart and left lower bj is bent like a s.

                          I dont think Im fixing it, Ive won near 10k this season in that car already and it doesnt owe me anything. I need to finish my new car its at least 300 lighter and should be a lot faster. I just havent been motivated since this one is so fast and disposable!

                            Agree or not about other things, You OK? Hope so, no matter what I do not like to see racers get hurt and tear up stuff, there is no such thing as cheap parts any more. Hope all is OK!

                              Yep no injuries. A tiny bruise on the inside of my left foot.

                              The reason I cant buy a car and run it is because I care about safety.

                              Ive cut the door bars out of this car on both sides and widened them etc. I have leg supports from my seat to pedals like a cup car so my feet cant move and get speed before hitting stuff. full containment seat, carbon fiber helmet, auto matic fire system etc.

                                Glad to hear it! I am the same as 2 cars I have gotten 1 I ended up junking (got in trade) and one I would have had less time in it if I just built it. I just also refered someone on another thread that was asking about buying a cage kit to have it put in by someone that KNOWS what they are doing and how to weld it in, This is NOT an area that you want to save a few $$ and try to do it yourself! Again VERY glad to hear that you are OK!
