Naw, different run. The 20.2 was with that other POS MASC system installed, and the PRO-M MAF.

And -shrug- the car may not have run for 4 years, but the point still stands... you've changed just about everything twice over, and you're barely any faster than 4 years ago.

You tell me where the source of the problem is... and I'm not so sure you should be picking on Mike's driving!

I have pictures from the day of the 13.2... of me beating you, so that fact STILL stands.

You guys and all your bullsh*t.

I've run everything from 15's to an 11.
Sure you've beaten me at some point, but so what.

I've still got the fastest timeslip.

AND my car runs

Fastest timeslip, compared to who?

US?
Good gawd man, set your sights just a little bit higher.
11's are from grandma these days...

I think you need to worry less about my driving skills, and work on your time management skills.

People have built countries in less than 4 years.

Michaelangelo took 7 years, to create the sistine chapel... but when he was done, it was incomperable to anything else in the world.

I wouldn't worry about my time management... I'd worry more about what you're going to do when I'm done.

There'll be TWO peckerheads that are faster than you...

PS: I'm not sure with our heritage, what either of us should be saying about what countries could do in four years...

I'm not sure about fastest time slip.... I think that belongs to me. But I do give you full props for the quickest E/T and on the 11, unlike some of these blokes .

More like...

"What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are.... Come on. Stop trying to drive faster, and drive faster!" -Peckerheads

PS: and Mike, at least you've got a car with some style...

Bahahaha

My car has won more show awards than you've won pie eating contests

Now go away and work on your car.

Dunno... never been in a pie eating contest.

Never said you were short on bling,
Must be "laser" thing...

Besides, how can I put the car back together, when people keep borrowing parts from it, to keep their's running!

Oh please, I'll be dead by the time your car is finished.

8 years to install a fuel line...

I'm also sure that Michaelangelo worked hard every day on his project...

Spent more time working than cleaning his workbench....

AND didn't build a waterfeature in between.

bongo!

Yeah, but the water feature looks awesome... you can't do that in Brampton.
You'd have your neighbours stocking it...


Now, it's got water plants, more ground cover, and fish!

...and yes, you will be dead when my car is finished... from a racing perspective, anyhow.

Wow it's quiet... too quiet.

Bung!

Oh, please. You check in here with nothing to add (because your car is STILL in pieces scattered about the 'back 40' ) once every 6 months or so... and you expect us to keep it going for you every 12 hours or less??

Quit typing, and start working!

I like your foliage. Nice rocks too. Very nice.

He's got no job, and still can't work on the car.

But I've got issues (lol)

Yup, that's pretty much the size of it.

(the part about you having issues, that is)

But we should all be fine... I've still got Peckerhead Racing, making chips for PPG, so he'll be slow for as long as we want him to be slow...

fffffffffffffffffffffffff

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Veritas Aequitas

No, sorry Nathan, Veritas was bought out by Symantec last month.

Damn Andie, must have missed that cause I am up in the boonies and dont get my tech journal weekly.

And what the hell are ya doing up so early for, I was up shooting the sunrise if you wonder.

HEY!
This is a sh!t talking thread...

If you wanna waste bandwidth go post in Waldo's thread.

Or go work on your car some more (bahahah)

Couldn't work on car... was teaching tech course today, and again tomorrow.

Used your engine bay again though Mark, and the polishing compound in the boost controller example.
(make sure you get your royalty fee)

Do I even wanna know how my boost controller relates to computers?

Do you use your car as an example too?
"you can have the fastest computer in the world, in peices, but it won't do you any good until its assembled and working..."

Yup, pretty much.

You can have the shiniest, most up to date computer, with all the latest polish, bells, and whistles.... but if you can't operate it, you might as well get a Dell.

So Steve took his car off the road now too, wonder what rusty duct-tape mod he will apply next?

Ohhh but wait, he's cleaing things up!

Polished rust?
CLearcoated duct tape?
Or will he switch to the shiny aluminum foil tape!
AHhh HA! Methinks the latter!


BANG!

Cold beers over here Steve... the deck is calling...

"Off the road"??
I haven't driven it for 4 days.

My insurance company is not calling me asking what I'm going to do with the car.

My plate sticker is still Valid (not 3 years behind).

My car starts at the turn of a key. (not 4 years of assembly, and the turn of a key.)

I've NEVER claimed it was pretty.

Just FAR faster than ANYTHING have you have/do/will own.

Get a 1/4 mile slip in the same bracket as me, then we'll talk.

It may take time... but I will be faster, cleaner, and do it with more style, than any of you ol' 1G wanna-bees.

Its been 3.5 years....how much f@cking time do you need to install a fuel line???

Man, I'd hate to see what a "long" time is, if this is "some" time.

"but I will be faster"

No slip? no time.

Until you GET a slip... be quiet, and figure out how to get all those pieces back into something that resembles a car.

Save the (work)bench racing for later. you know.. when you've EARNED it.

Right now, you've gone 13.2. And haven't come CLOSE to that in over 3 years. THAT's what you have to show us in the real world. We don't care what your magically put together car runs in your make-believe world.

Uh huh, sure Kinnaird... as you shop for a larger turbo, out of sheet fear of being the slowest guy in this thread...

Mark, you want the real list?
The fuel line, was just one small item...

-relocate battery, and all associated wiring headaches to make it legal
-clean and seal all sh!tty rusty factory brackets, etc
-install and config dsmlink
-repair all of Marco's sh!tty welding, and "test bench" parts that made it onto my car
-fix other stuff he said he fixed, but didn't
-repair/replace cracked exhaust
-install electronic boost controller
-retune all
-replumb IC pipes
-cosmetic items
-onboard pc
-...and the list goes on.

so many things, in so many boxes... I'll never give up on it, but it's also NOT going to be a "weekend project", just so I can hear it run, rub it with a diaper, and back it into the garage again.

If I just needed to drive a fast shiny car to feel good, I'd just go buy Dennis' Vette.

This is more than that... always was.
It's my project, it's my effort, it's my sanity.

Trusting others to do it, left me bitter.
It's taken a long while to get over that... and if you want to do something right, you gotta do it yourself.

And finding the time to do that, is hard.
If my spare time was occupied with trivial items, or items resulting in sheer pleasure or profit, you'd have a point... but it's all charitable, so there's no way you're going to tarnish how I've spent my time.

Now, get yer butts over here, and help me drink some beers!

Things needed to finish the project:

-relocate battery, and all associated wiring headaches to make it legal
-clean and seal all sh!tty rusty factory brackets, etc
-install and config dsmlink
-repair all of Marco's sh!tty welding, and "test bench" parts that made it onto my car
-fix other stuff he said he fixed, but didn't
-repair/replace cracked exhaust
-install electronic boost controller
-retune all
-replumb IC pipes
-cosmetic items
-onboard pc
-...and the list goes on.

Things needed to get started on so far:

-relocate battery, and all associated wiring headaches to make it legal
-clean and seal all sh!tty rusty factory brackets, etc
-install and config dsmlink
-repair all of Marco's sh!tty welding, and "test bench" parts that made it onto my car
-fix other stuff he said he fixed, but didn't
-repair/replace cracked exhaust
-install electronic boost controller
-retune all
-replumb IC pipes
-cosmetic items
-onboard pc
-...and the list goes on.


BTW: I'm currently over 1/2 second ahead of you. That's with a smaller turbo, no cams, no intake manifold, no 3" turbo-back exhaust etc.

You better PRAY I DON'T go turbo shopping. I get something bigger than that small 16G and you'll NEVER catch me.

Just ask PPG for the list of stuff HE had to use to keep up with me.

Although, it's easier to learn how to drive the car when it runs, I suppose.

Yeah, but the list of things I HAVE got done, is equally impressive!

It's just that none of them are DSM related.


My point being... I'm NOT a lazy ass, I just apparently have a mis-guided sense of priorities, when it comes to the DSM world.

...and as I sit, 10 ft from the falling water (I love wireless in the country), dripping casually into my water feature (pond), .... the Koi gently rippling the surface in the dark as they grab at the food I've just tossed there...

...the smell of the cedar scraps burning in the firepit, gently wafting towards me...

...the moon hinting at it's desire to break the tops of the trees in the distance...

...as I sip at the remains of my 3rd glass of red wine...

I realize, that all of these other projects took priority for a reason... and that their completion will allow me the sanity, to one day bring the Mongoose back to life...

...and on that day, no matter how long it takes, you will rue the day, and you will buy the beers.

...just before you return to your urban nightmare, with your neighbours 4 feet away, on, each side, complaining that you've cooked too long on your BBQ, or have your stereo too loud... or that you've cut 3" of their lawn...

Life is good.
...and any DSM, is a good DSM, no matter whether it's running or not.
