It was a post on nasioc where a crawford STi was doing donuts

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...onuts+crawford

If you watch and listen you will notice that the car almost hits a pole in the first 3 seconds,stalls (2x i think), goes of the road and, has the part of the front bumper hanging off. Oh and BTW the vid is under 40 seconds long.

crawford and doughnuts FTW!!!!

Does the motor come with the comprehensive Crawford warranty that another high-profile build on here came with??

OK guy's enough is enough when it comes to bashing Crawford. This is getting out of control, every post Crawford makes, there is ALWAYS comments from the peanut gallery. The only people that should be bashing are the people who have had PERSONAL experiences with Crawford. IWSTI is supposed to be more grown up then NASIOC, so lets start showing it.

I know 4 people that own Crawfords motors, and they have had ABSOLUTLY NO ISSUES at all. I have one, and mine runs great!

Congrats on the nice numbers Crawford!!

When Crawford PUBLICLY displays how they treat/work with customers, I think the PUBLIC has every right to comment. Unfortunately for Crawford, he underestimated the publicity power of an internet forum.

Congrats to your friends, however, I have 3 friends with Crawford engines who have had trouble. 2 Of which ordered built engines from another source and the other just didnt have the money to do so, so his car was returned to stock... So what is your point? Everyone has made up their mind on FACTS given. This is a public forum and people are going to give their opinion, just like you just gave yours

Well everyone is entitled to their public opinion on a public forum, I can certainly agree with that. Also, if you are going to base all your opinions on how one situation was handled then that’s fine too. Just understand that one persons personal experience does not the world make.
Anyway, I started this thread to just share info, some of which has never been shared before. Personally, I thought…just maybe, other people might be interested some of it.

Traditionally people only speak up when they run into problems vs those that don't. Remember Cobb and the infamous AccessPORT?

krees23 · 07-07-2006, 07:15 PM

Wow, tough crowd here

Chris is doing his job and probably didn't have anything to do with bobble head pistons or whatever. That said, from what I know of the support for Crawford performance engines. I wouldn't even consider that product.

I believe this actually qualifies as someones PERSONAL experiance then. When they have seen everything first hand played out on a public forum...

***520*** · 07-07-2006, 08:19 PM

oh ****! the new catch ca... i mean air oil separater must be giving you those saweet numbers!

neal0124 · 07-08-2006, 04:24 PM

I'd like to see what this contraption would do tuned on 91oct. How many people fill up with 116 oct fuel? Why couldn't they do a realistic/real world test? I'm sure 95% of the people on this forum have daily drivers and use pump gas only.

Good point neal. When I see race gas numbers and race gas times I could really honestly care less. I want pump gas numbers, maybe with meth. Other than that it does look good but I really think you have alot of work to do to unblemish your name on this forums.
