Ahh... Vince. You may have gotten the faster E.T. against me at Cayuga, but who crossed the line first??

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 16, 2001 12:32 pm UTC

Oh you mean when my car was running 13.2's?

ah yes well we BOTH know why my car was slow back then. But my little trip fixed all that

now why again are you going to beat me??? I must have forgot.

oh yeah and Steve....you can run, but you can't hide!

Posted By: Andrew Bienhaus

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 16, 2001 01:51 pm UTC

Ya know what?

I seem to recall that the "little trip to Ohio" did NOTHING for your timeslips or HP on the dyno... the car just badly needed tuning and adjusting, most notably the nut behind the wheel, who can't shift to save his life!

Not that I should say anything, me being the other charter member of "shiftless anonymous".

I have few timeslips to show, but even at 13.2, I was already at 109mph, so... I'll let that speak for now...

Then there's the rule-breaking issue... HKS Cams in the 2001 calendar year. Some people just can't be trusted to their word.

Maybe I will have to make a trailered trip, Jan 1, 2002...

(yes, I am fracking rambling)

Steve's right about the FWD-real-man-driving thing though... that thing pulls... every which way but forward.

I think he's still wearing his neck brace from the 5000rpm stutterbox launch he pulled in my little AWD.

So, we'll see. That's all I can say...

Posted By: Jeff Mitchell

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 16, 2001 02:16 pm UTC

I've always figured PPG shifts so slow because he has to pause to polish the shift knob after he touches it each time.

I mean, what if someone happened to see it while it had finger prints on it? Oh, the humanity!

This is an age old argument between you and I

and I refuse to say more than 12's to 13's to 12's. When I followed the 10 Commandments my car ran 12's with a 16g. When I strayed...13's. When I returned to the true path...BINGO 12's again. This will be followed by some low 12's-high 11's. Maybe its a mental thing...but maybe its not.

And yes my shifting sucks, but I still have a 12.54 DO YOU?

Then there's the rule-breaking issue... HKS Cams in the 2001 calendar year. Some people just can't be trusted to their word.

yes, you are right I "cheated" but my 12.54 was without the cams. I "broke" the rules at the end of the season in hopes of a last track visit. I'm sorry

NOT!
{for those of you wondering, Andy and I agreed NOT to add mods after the shootout}

As for the FWD thingy...
FWD guys have equal measured biceps, one is from spankin the monkey, the other from holding the steering wheel!!

Jeff, my knob has finger prints on it...does yours? (not your own) :rolleyes:

BONG!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 16, 2001 09:16 pm UTC

I'll tell ya why I'm gonna beat you. It's simple. You suck under pressure. "When my car was running 13.2's" is a prime example. I beat ya with a 14.2.

Seems to me the thought of going up against The Nairdo just frightens you SO much you have NO idea what's going on.

Since you AWD guys can go down the strip with 1 hand on the wheel, I'm pretty sure I know what your pulling with the other. (And it's not that ultra slow gearshift...)

BING!

I beleive this is appropriate...

[Linked Image]

As for the hood ho. Blondie there wants to go from a roll, not from a stop...so unless the "ho" is standing in the back of a pickup truck while doing 100 km/h I think it doesn't apply. Is your HO volunteering?

Maybe I'll just get Ian to bring the video camera...

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 17, 2001 05:33 pm UTC

psssst... hey mark.. buddy.. don't blow my cover!

I have to be on Steve's side -atleast I have to let him think that... we're car pooling, if I don't seem to be on his side, I'll be driving out there on my own

(You gotta *know* that I think your car will be opening a HUGE can of whoop-a$$ !! and feeding Stevie a piece of humbling pie on that AssoKinnaird platter )

...actually, come to think of it Steve hasn't even beat me in quite a while.. ok, his best slip is better than mine, but I can back mine up pass after pass, I can't recall that he can do that

-but I'm not going there. I can't put the chips on the table right now with my car in storage...

You and I both know only pansies race from a roll -but it's his only option!..I'd say he's worried he'll have to take a polaroid of your front end and stick it to his rearview to give him that faux kicking PPG's ass effect!!

(hey.. maybe we could market an idea like that to the Huh-duh crowd

I can back up some times, that are VERY close to my personal best, time after time without lowering my tire pressure, dropping my exhaust...

As for starting from a roll, I believe it was YOU (you purple FREAK!) who claimed you could do it!!

You AWD guys (that includes YOU Ian!)... WHEN are you gonna learn the fun BEGINS at 100. Any fool can stutterbox a 5500 RPM launch with an AWD into a good 60' time. Let's see you DRIVE something to a good E.T.

I see it's turned into a 3 against one on the UBB... why don't you other 2 monkeys bring your cars as well.. I'll make it a clean sweep!!

FWD Rules!

Atta-boy Steve, give him sh!t about that Honda-mod drop the exhaust thingy

we need some more people in on this war.

And I didn't choose to go from a roll, I AGREED to it so you might actually stand a chance (for a change)

You can use whatever excuses you like about any idiot this and real car that, but in the end I be waiting for you to join me at the finish line

Honda-mod drop the exhaust thingy? sheesh!! those guys only bring enough tools to the track to remove their bumpers! and atleast I've never stooped so low as to strip my interior and emptied my trunk looking for that extra 10th that might be in there... (that's almost as bad as burning out just before making a 20sec pass!)

.... and I'll meet you there. As soon as I get out of the restaurant after my beer and wings.

Actaully, I do believe I admitted you'd kick my ass in a regular 1/4 mile race. 12.5 will beat 13.6 any time. (I should hope so, after you spent your kids college fund making that purple beast fast!!) I commented on the superiority of FWD from a roll, and you jumped at the chance to take me there. (Sorry, TRY to take me there.)

Remember, I've driven a couple AWDs. (Thanks, Andy and Sean!!) After 1st gear, they're BORING!!

Maybe we should race from a roll though, unless you put it in FWD mode

I may not have a 12.5 slip, but I also only have ONE slip this year, thanks to my good samaratin nature... and it was a 13.2 on a warm-up pass.

Bring it on.

The intake leaks are fixed, the car won't start without a jumper wire, it won't idle, and it's still way too rich at the top end.... but still I say...

Bring it on.

Bug splatters on the windshield, bumper, and badly in need of a clean coat of wax, but still I say...

Bring it on.

You can drop your exhaust, strip your interior, polish your knobs, or put on your snow tires, and still I'll say...

Bring it on.

at least beiny-boy and I are closly matched...so losing to him (however unlikely) wouldn't hurt my feelings. But loosing to Kinnaird with that teeny-tiny turbo and that stolen FMIC..well thats another story.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 19, 2001 06:52 pm UTC

Well.... As i always say the proof is in the pudding. I asked PPG not once but twice (he even said "you don't have to ask twice"!) to go for a run to see how well the S4 would do using the PP car as a bench mark. But I guess the intimidation got the better of him, 'cause I asked a third time, and PPG comes up with the lame "mommy's calling me for dinner" routine. Pathetic, just pathetic. Oh, by the way..... as usual, he did have lots of time to wash and polish it, and then back back into the little purple nest he has for it. I guess its hibernation time now eh Mark?javascript: x()

I pulled 296 ft/lbs way back when I was running 102 MPH through the traps. Can't imagine how much my little single turbo, 4 cyl. has you beat by now...

Ok Guys,

In my humble opinion (I know, I drive an Acura, please don't hold it against me), either the Mongoose or the Milleneum Falcon needs to kick both PPG's and Steve's asses. If Steve actually beats PPG on Friday, I will have to listen to it for God knows how long....and as for PPG, well he just keeps picking fights and DESERVES to be humbled, along with my husband.

So please, Andy or Brett, help me out here.

Thanks guys, and have fun on Friday!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 21, 2001 05:27 am UTC

psssst... hey.. Julie

(come a little closer to the monitor... I don't want Steve to hear

)

you can help out with this situation too... when Steve is busy tending to Tori Friday nite before he leaves, slip out with his keys.. quietly pop the hood on his car and look for that boost control valve (- you know.. the one you told him he should turn down, because if he did, he wouldn't need a fuel pump upgrade

) ok.. so after locating it (near that big canister looking thingy by the front left corner) - give it a big turn counter clockwise.. that'll be sure to keep him from beating Mark's a$$ but I'm sure it will unleash a whole plethora of new excuses

and I'm sure with the Falcon fixed up, Brett has a few tricks up his sleave (as long as he's gotten rid of any spring like device from his intake system!) as for the Mongoose.. well, I can't say just yet, all I remember is it was blowing alot of air and going no where

I'd say, if anyone were to worry me.. my money would be on Brett.. who know's what the hell kinda trick that freaky car will pull.. and with him now asking for the polished rod and piston from the parts car.. to fix the hyper drive... cripes - sounds to me like he's close to making a jump

or atleast have something shiney to distract PPG with just long enough to pass him!!

Dunno... I'm keeping the wire in the car, to keep Mr Murphy at bay, but it started up with the key the other night.

Tonight I just have to fix the idle.
Seems that the 1G mechanics can't seem to figure out how to adjust the 2G TB and accessories.
One section 14A-p264-265 later, and it's all going to be adjusted correctly...

...funny thing about actually reading the manual.

As for you Julie, well, I must admit, as much as I will enjoy kicking Steve's ass, you have made some of those comments in my presence... so your credibility is dropping as fast as Mark's bank account.

And to the rest? Well, we'll see.

I think Tinky Winky's gonna be a little too busy cleaning up the coolant he dumped al over his engine compartment trying to keep up last night...
So, PPG, did the PP make it home OK?? My car did. (But, then again, we didn't have to pull over to save MY car...)

For, those who weren't there, I think it was a pretty good match. I got to pull on PPG once, maybe twice.. he pulled on me 2 or 3 times. Then, there was this BIG cloud of green steam as the PP's rad cap let go.

I can't help but wonder how it would have turned out if we were BOTH actually using pump gas (chicken man was STILL running race gas) and the PP was actually reliable...

Brett?? Andy?? Is that how it looked to you guys from the back row??

Who was that S4 that did the RICE BY?? I forgot all about him, then after we slowed down.. WHOOSH...

Hey Mark, Steve's best ET is 13.6*.Last time at the track he was running 13.8* @ 108MPH (traction ,traction, traction O where does it go)So from a rolling 80-90Km/H start it's a whole new ball game! But I digres, this is not an artical on the pros of FWD O wait yes it is!

Ok so all of us get on the highway and scare the sh!t out of some 50-60 cars mark and steve line up and slow down which wasn't good for Andy and I as we were already ahead of the slow pokes!

and BAMMN! vented wastgate, OH my Lord is that cool! 300m away and all I hear is Mark maaaaaaaaaam,.maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.

Back to the story it was exactly as steve has said, it would have been nice if there was less traffic for them.
So after they went a bunch of times Mark and Andy went and Andy handed Mark his ass on a platter, sorry I forgot I was behind and thought they were comming towards me. Then Steve and I go and he spanks me but I didn't do bad for 10lbs, this is were the fun begins. My injector plug comes loose and I'm missing and think I've done some serious damage so pull over, by the way were in Markam by now. Everbody else pulls over accept Ian, he's already heading home. I get out and pop the hood and start playing then I look over to see what those guys are doing and Marks hood is up and looks like a blast furnace was just opened! UH OHH! SAY TINKIE WINKIE It wasn't really a huge deal the rad cap had come loose and puked! We couldn't find any water so Ian like a rocket in his German ricebyer! comes back and saves the day!
All in all a very fun night.

sorry for going on I thought I'd try to get it all out in one post and sentance rather than many.

Well first off I must say...I had no idea FWD cars were so fast on the highway. Seriously. I would honestly consider it a tie between Steve and I. I think whoever got the initial jump actually remained ahead.

But I can not for the life of me figure out how the hell my rad cap came loose in the first place... Very bizarre. Thanks to Ian, I made it home just fine and the car runs just fine too.

Pizza was good...company was great, coffee was good (but not 100% decaf, man did I have trouble sleeping) The cars were fast

and I can't express enough the appreciation for the club, who stayed with me in the cold waiting and helping!!!

btw Brett, I don't recall Andy ever kicking my ass???

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 24, 2001 09:41 pm UTC

Mark B: Brett has my times dead on...

The 13.67 was a couple years ago @ 102.27. I haven't beat it since. I somehow managed a 2.11 60' and can't do it again.

What scares me the most is PPG has the top end of a FWD, AND the amazing launch of the AWD. That thing is one SERIOUS car!! Congrats on a SWEET ride, Mark!

The pizza, and conversation was a good time. We HAVE to do it again soon!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 25, 2001 01:11 am UTC

Hmm.. assuming I don't forget anything....

K&N
Hacked aircan / Hacked MAF
16G (small) (19psi)
Starion FMIC
2.5" BTSR Upper IC pipe
2" lower IC pipe
550 cc injectors
S-AFC
Walbro 255
Testpipe
Custom 2.5" cat-back

I think that's about it (other small stuff, like shortened shifter throw)

What I need: an AWD launch!! and all of PPG's shiny bits!!

I should probably add the almost 1000 lbs LESS than the PP my car weighs.

Good job represent'n Steve

. You and I will have to duel it out next year since my fastest mph to date is 107.6. But it won't be in Quadcylla

. It's time to retire her and move everything into a 92 Talon Tsi FWD. The new ride will be ready by the time the track opens again. A few things better will be the engine (160s compression), Scotts cams, testpipe and 2.5" or 3" cat back (gotta lose the Dynomax) and a Magnus FMIC. I may even put the new girl on a diet

.

So you will have your hands full... and PPG will have someone to show him the line ahead

.

2002 will be good for us FWD guys. Even Chirped 5th should be going for it with his rebuilt engine and finally some tuning

Hey... Friday night was supposed to be top end - No??? (Dennis, you would have loved it!!!) Anyway, as usual, nobody could keep up. All this speed up slow down stuff. I ended up turning around somewhere out by Cambridge, or London or something. Looked around and nobody's there. Got back to Brampton and started to look for some local talent that wanted to get schooled. There was plenty! Then I get "the call" Glad to help out Mark, you bailed me and the kids out twice as I remember, so consider it my return of the favour!

Very nice runs.... I must say, Steve did pull up very nicely... for a FWD.

Personally, I honestly wasn't expecting the sort of highway runs that ended up happening... too much traffic all around for my liking. Slow, go, slow, go...

And so I must sadly admit, that as much of a "pansy ass" as I will appear to be for saying this; zipping along in and around that much traffic on the 401 at night, scares me a bit too much.

Not to mention a certain detection device that was picking up signals from various places...

Andyhow...
Mark B: Yes, got my idle fixed just in time, so it's correct. (almost... the TPS on a 2G, is a finicky integrated thing)
As a result though, my fuel is all over the place, rich to lean to rich again... I need some serious tuning time with Lionel, but I'm not sure winter is going to hold off much longer.

Ian... well, he just disappeared into the night, and we never saw him again.

Next time, we find an empty country road somewhere... you just gotta dodge the cattle.

It was the German version of lightspeed Andy! Da Panzar wagon rules! Ya? I have to agree with AB, though, traffic did pose a bit of an issue. But Mark, you think you got brakes? Ha! I'm seriously impressed with the S4. Just toss out the anchor, it grabs, and BAM your doin' 100 just like everybody else. Except your eye balls are stuck to the inside of the windshield.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 27, 2001 03:21 am UTC

Oh I got brakes...problem is I got coolant too!!

Yeah the traffic was a bit too much. WE should use better self-restraint next time.

Either way, I'm glad I didn't lose

FWD is strong on the highway...no question but I would still rather have the best of both worlds.

btw Mike, don't think I didn't see the purple plymouth eater comments made by some of you!!! Bring it on baby...bring it on!

Ian,
Do you have a Blue S4?

If so did you come across a champagne silver 91 AWD talon (me) on the QEW heading towards Niagara Falls last Saturday night?

Myself and a bunch of friends were heading home from the go-carts in Hamilton....if it was you how does my bumper look from a second place perspective?

It was a pretty quick ride home to the Falls though

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 28, 2001 02:53 am UTC

Ian, gotta love those massive front brakes on the S4 eh? As a side note, I was able to break loose the tires yesterday. I went to change lanes because I was behind some old geezer, was in 2nd gear, punched it, and all of a sudden, the car felt a bit squirrely just for a moment. Then I saw the ESP light on the dash come on. I was surprised this would happen with Quattro. Mind you, I do have the snows on now, but they are high performance H-rated ones.

How do you like the Z06, thats the car that I have been contemplating on getting when i graduate.

Either that or if the Lancer Evo comes to North American with an equivalency to that of the Japan version I might stick with the Turbo!!

Have you taking the Z06 to the track??? If so what are the numbers like?

oh and when are you taking me for a spin in the thing?

Posted By: Dennis Wong

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 12:09 am UTC

The Z06 is simply awesome. I've only had it about a month, so it hasn't been to the track yet. I've barely broken it in yet. GM claimes 0-60 in 3.9 sec and 1/4 mile in 12.4@116mph. This month's issue of Car&Driver did 4.0 sec and 12.4. The next Z06 in 2005 should be amazing. Rumour has it it will be lighter (~2800 lbs), and have around 450 bhp. Hmmm, that might be just the time to trade mine in

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 12:47 am UTC

Posted By: Mark Bernacki

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 02:03 am UTC

12.4?? WOW...

I heard the 2004 Z06 is going to house the new 6.0L block...

I don't remember hearing numbers as low as 12.4 though, as I recall Motortrend quoted low 13's or was it a 13 flat.

Whatever it is, its fassssssttttt

The next thing I have to figure out for myself is how you afford all the freaking amazing cars.

I commend you for your taste, and your hard work!!

Posted By: Dennis Wong

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 03:42 am UTC

Well well, a personal attack on my driving PPG?? Sounds like a challenge perhaps?

You're right though, but I think I should be able to pull off some 14 sec timeslips.

Mark, there will not be a 2004 Z06. Next year is the 50th anniversary for the Corvette. The C6 will debut in 2004 without a Z06, which will return in 2005. As for Motor Trend, there was an issue where they ran a 13.0, but they've featured the Z06 in several issues. I think the best numbers they've had were 12.6 and 4.24 sec for 0-60. These were all with the '01 Z06 which had 385 bhp. The '02 Z06 has 405 bhp.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 03:55 am UTC

This is a long shot but....
Maybe we can work something out, by the time you are lookign to rid of it, I will be looking to buy!!

You think you will make it out to the Sunday december meet with the Z06 or will she be sleeping by then?
I would love to get a closer look at one, and maybe test out the but dyno from the passenger seat.

Posted By: Dennis Wong

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - November 30, 2001 04:20 am UTC

Mark, if I like the C6 styling *that* much more than the C5, I'd consider trading up in '05 or maybe '06 (give them a year to work out the bugs). That also depends on the price. GM has been steadily increasing the price on the C5. The C6 may be unaffordable! In '98, my friend bought a C5 for $50K, my '00 C5 listed at $60K, and the '02 Z06 lists at just over $70K!

I won't be putting the car away just yet, but won't be able to make it to the meeting.

Anymore questions, email me. Let's take this offline unless there is some DSM content.

Just you wait Mark... this year my new car will be packing more punch

. Should be seeing high 12's at around 110~112 this year which means I'll be kicking your ass on the highway and giving you a run for your money at the strip. Oh and if you have the balls I'll show you my bumper on the Cayuga road course as well

Posted By: Mark PPG Scheitzbach

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 07, 2002 02:21 pm UTC

First off, I didn't blow the head gasket trying to beat you...I blew it along time ago, with you IN the car (maybe you are just bad luck!)

And if your gonna call Andy a handicap...well maybe you should tell HIM that.

and Mike...I love the "you just wait..." when my car runs fast...blah blah blah.

Quadcylla did 107 last year with 120,120,135,135 compression. The new car will have 160s across the board, S Petrie reground cams, a Magnus FMIC, no balance shafts and few fixes to the o2 sensor housing. 110~112 is a pretty conservative estimate

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 07, 2002 04:17 pm UTC

Up until recently, you weren't even sure you HAD blown the gasket. Wasn't the first time we went at it on the highway the first time you dumped coolant all over the place?

C'mon, you know you blew it trying to keep up..

AS far as Andy being a handicap... his broad shoulders were affecting my shifting..

Bring it?? I've already given it to ya!

Careful Mike.... I've made estimates too. Unfortunately they all went the wrong way.. you spend more you go slower.. No wonder PPG is such a slug.

Yea I know, he offered to help me rebuild my motor if something happens to it....I'm thinking what a nice guy. Then he adds "I'll make sure you never beat me to the end of the 1/4mile again" :rolleyes:

Steve, as I sit you would definately take me on the highway...but I bet with the welded viscous coupling and without the extra weight of the drive shaft and x-fer case. I can make up that 2mph you have on me

If you remember correctly when we lined up at the track I still had my STOCK 1.75" exhaust on the car

And I still beat you.

But unfortunately for you going from 2.5 to no exhaust isn't going to net as much of a gain as going from 1.75 to no exhaust.

Now I have a full 3" exhaust with a soon to be vented WG....so as usual mine is bigger than yours

Oh, Vince.. you just don't get it do you?? (sigh...) If you'll recall I ran that pass with a leaking injector, and 20% too rich on my SAFC settings.. STILL got 108MPH..

Steve, that's not too bad at all for crank play, you can go to 8 thousanths. You have over half of your thrust bearing left. If you drop the oil pan, you will see a slight groove on it, nothing to worry about yet. I bet you have around 160-180K on the car by now???

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 18, 2002 04:06 am UTC

yea Steve, that's right because instead of fixing things on your car you just go out and buy a new engine

you and Andy did a good job on the VFAQ by the way.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - September 30, 2002 03:57 pm UTC

That's why I said the street race... I don't need the drag radials in 3rd or up there buddy

.

Next time at the track I'm going full street trim to see what she can do.

(I only now put on the Toyo DRs which are not great ones for drag racing anyway, pump in some race gas and remove the headlight).

p.s. If I wasn't running my DRs at 12 lbs the trap speed would have been even quicker so your argument is moot

"Just you wait Mark... this year my new car will be packing more punch . Should be seeing high 12's at around 110~112 this year which means I'll be kicking your ass on the highway and giving you a run for your money at the strip. " - me

"Ahh Yes, Mike J with the "next year" talk.
You should head over to:

There are a whole bunch of next year racers over there, surprisingly enough they are all going to be in the high 12's or quicker too

Soooo... I guess that 111 (I didn't see a "2" at the end of that number...) was on PUMP gas.. just like it would be on the street??

Gimme a trap speed in STREET trim (the way I race at the track..) then, we'll talk.

ie: NO race gas, NO lowered tire pressure, NO ripping stuff out of the car...

"Trap speeds these AWDs will never see?"

FWD? BAH!!!

WWD is more like it... (wrong wheel drive)

Got news bro... before the Mongoose went into hibernation, it got a few slips with just that sort of trap speed... 110, 111, 112, are no problem.

It's the same damn thing... the nut behind the wheel needs adjusting, cuz the best combined slip I could pull was 13.2 @ 109. The 110-112 traps, were at 13.3 and 13.4...

Besides, this point is moot... Steve is already hunting for an AWD vehicle to replace his...

But, feel free to beat on him and keep this thread running... he's offline for the next week.

Is that what you call it when she won't start for you in the morning?

Damn Andy... with those traps you should take a full second off those ETs. Good thing I can always count on you AWDers not knowing how to drive.

Mark... how bout this Sunday at Cayuga? I hate going on import days but it would be worth it if I got to clean up some business with you

Anyone notice that since I matched Vinces ET and mutilated his MPH that his kindergarten collage of a webpage is no longer in his sig?! It's okay Vince... it's only going to get worse so the sooner you accept things the sooner you can get on with your life.

Actually, what Mr. Beinhuas neglected to mention was that I got into a couple of highway "skirmishes" shortly after claiming I wanted an AWD...

After which I decided I liked my car again, and stopped searching so hard for an AWD.

If a beater/project car were to fall into my lap, I'd take it, but man.. my car is a BLAST on the highway.. Can't wait until I get that 20G on there!

Flywheel/pressure plate/clutch plate are toast.

New ACT 2600 and Fidanza are in the air from BR. Give me a few weeks, and I'm there...but no import sh!t. T&T on a Sat/Sun.

No Steve is basically the rout of all the insults around here. Everything can in one way or another be traced back to him.

I would insult Mark but he's a fellow AWD guy and it just doesn't feel right, besides he always whines and cries when I do that anyway

Nope you are wrong, the rule states "One may talk sh!t even though not currently fast as long as one at one time was fast" That's taken directly from the bench racing rule book section 5.2.4.14.

You still can't talk much since my 2 year old personal best still hasn't been broken by yourself even after many, many mods....

bla, bla, bla you and your MPH garbage, the fact of the matter is that your 111mph doesn't even get your rubber burning machine in the 12's.

You are starting to sound like a Supra owner. Maybe if you beg enough you can get Cayuga to move the timing lights up 20' so you can get a moving start lol.

Don't worry soon enough I'll be back in action and then I will run 111mph with my 16g'd AWD

LOL.. Ya, you've earned the right to call us slow.. :rolleyes:

I think instead od doing a DSM VS DSM event we should do a DSM vs TORREY and see how many of us can cross the finish line and come to a stop before he crosses the line.

We should set up a track day before the shootout, anyway's how many of you guy's are actually going to race once you get down there?

hehe torrey,

Don't think that just because your Civic can go faster than your slushbox TSI AWD doesn't mean you can be faster than ANY other Turbo DSM.

Where in my post did I say my car was fast?
Where did I even include MY car for the races? I dont see any indication of that anywhere???????

Forget it. I'm not even going to bother. Everyone can keep talking crap, I just suggested that we setup a FUN day of racing.

Actually it was set up last season, Mark Stole my idea of a FWD vs AWD. And then he Set it up for a Friday, I think he did this because he knew I work mon-fri and he didn't want me to embarrass him or anyone else.

Any way it ended up raining on the friday it was scheduled for.

Yep.. still eatin' crow. The other fun thing about AWD is the rain. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to swing the ASS end out. Understeer sucks goat socks!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 23, 2003 01:45 am UTC

With a rear sway bar and the right suspension setup (a little softer in the back for example) and lots of power you can get close to power on oversteer.

Basically you'll get a brief moment of oversteer followed by a 4 wheel drift. Fun stuff.

The wife and 2 sons that you JUST HAPPENED to wake up by going WOT 30 seconds before the light.

Whatever. We'll look at the video that nobody has seen, and compare timeslips from different tracks/times/weather conditions if that's what you want.

I guess that just makes me more like a "real" mechanic then, huh? 'Cause you've had great luck PAYING people to do sh!t like that to your car.

I'll send ya my bill for today (it should be about double the estimate I gave you earlier).

Forget the 111.97 mph isn't 112 mph argument... check out this 116.04 mph run!

[Linked Image]

Look at the throttle position in 1st (2.3s 60ft), that's why FWD hurts. Now look at the rpms in 2nd! They spike up then come down then spike up again. That's both wheels spinning again even with drag radials on (about 10 degC no sun). Fun eh? Only good for a low 13 too.

That's why I'm going to bench race again and predict that with the M&H slicks I'm getting over the winter I'll be running mid 12s next year

. Of course I can bench race because I've shown my past bench talk to be pretty damn accurate.

Maybe with a fully ported big 16G instead of this unported small 16G I'll be able to run more then the 20~21 max I can only run now

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 23, 2003 12:26 am UTC

I don't give a rat's ass what I can run with race gas, slicks, everything yanked out of the car.

I don't drive it that way.

So, I decided to get the traction of slicks in my street car...

Hmmmm someone's got a case of the nasties. Someone sh!t in your cornflakes yesterday?

(If not meant to be hostile maybe use a smilie ir two next time)

I race with the spare out, the front light out and different front tires. That's a far cry front a stripped down track car if that's what you are implying. Plus I don't "give a rats ass" (as you so nicely put it) if that's not cool with you

First run was 114mph with 94 octane, 116mph later with race gas. I'm at the track racing... why do people get pissed if I run some race gas? I don't get it. And if I run slicks? What you're pissed I'm biting into your only advantage?

"I don't drive it that way."

SO you just drive around in 1/4 mile bursts of acceleration on the street? Anytime you want to freeway race like a car is meant to (not this short 1/4 bullshit where traction rules over horsepower) you just call me up (well in 2 years after my major conviction is off my record

)

I don't give a rat's ass what I can run with race gas, slicks, everything yanked out of the car.

I don't drive it that way.

So, I decided to get the traction of slicks in my street car...

Someday, you wil too..

Couldn't have said it better myself, I don't need the crutch of slicks or race gas, my 1/4mile time is my street daily driver time

Your 1/4 mile time is your street time eh big boy?

You claim a 'street time' in your sig that is 3 years old . How does that hold up?

Hey, I never even referenced my actual 1/4mile time in my post I simply said the true fact that my 1/4mile time is what I get in street trim.

If it happened yesterday or 2 years ago.. that's not the issue here

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 23, 2003 09:07 pm UTC

You implied my 1/4 mile time was not an accurate representation of my street performance... I only countered that your claimed 1/4 mile time isn't either

.

Anyway yes you guys are right my traction is not the same on the street as at the track (about 0.20 seconds different... slicks will be a different story

). But 114 on pump gas with the light out and spare removed (I don't drive around with my spare anyway)... those traps accurately reflect my street performance thank you very much

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 24, 2003 12:42 am UTC

Yep.. I shoulda put a few smilies in there. (For you wimps that have forgotten what this thread is!

)

Basically, my point here is: I get to the strip, fill out the tech card; go to tech, strap on my helmet, and get in line.

If pulling out your headlight, getting race gas, and turning up the boost, etc. don't do much, then why bother doing it at all? I'll tell you why. Because that FWD thing you're driving passed it's 1/4 mile potential in "street trim" a long time ago. Get used to it. Otherwise, you'll spend the rest of your days making it less streetable (ie:slicks) in persuit of that better E.T. (If you didn't care about your E.T. you wouldn't be considering slicks).

If you're spinning through 1st and 2nd then your trap speed is NOT a good representation of your street performance. Wheelspin gives you falsley high trap speeds.

Get over it and come to the darkside 2 wheel peel boy. I did. And I've never looked back.

I may not drive around in 1/4 mile spurts (perhaps the occasional one) but it IS a lot more fun when a "race" starts below 60km/h now and I don't just start spinning. It's also nice to be able to push the pedal down mid corner and have some excitement. Instead of plowing of the road in an obscene display of understeer.

Highway race (sans Andrew!)? Sure. I'll give that a shot. I still enjoy a good highspeed pull once in a while, but it's nice to have the OPTION of doing something else.

How about this. WE'll do a couple highway runs, then a couple 1st and 2nd gear runs (up to 100k). We'll average the car length differences at the end of each and see what happens.

Or, if you wanna wimp out we can just do the highway runs.

Who said anything about raising the boost? I run 20~21 on the track and street

. The light and spare really can't do much for me... but I'll give you the wheels

Well I guess I have to whimp out because I can't hiway race for a couple years. If I get another ticket I lose my insurance

(now $240/month up from $74). I have to be (and have been since) a good boy on the roads (unlike Vince apparently). If my insurance wasn't so high I'd consider picking up an AWD as a second car and play the game from both sides.

As for corner excitement the Quaife makes a night and day difference there. Maybe not quite AWD like but a huge step in that direction.

I did race Dean Boyle one run on Sunday and got a taste of the AWD envy as he absolutely raped me out of the hole. It felt pretty bad to see him jump that far ahead before I was even moving. Then only thing that more then made up for it was easily realing him in and passing him

(sorry Dean). It's too bad you can't have an AWD car with the drivetrain loss of a FWD (without spending a fortune).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One more time just so it's clear

the 114mph was:
-street boost
-street S-AFC settings
-street base timing
-street weight (since I don't drive with the spare anyway)(yes all seats were installed and yes I do have a stereo and speakers installed now)
-street exhaust

The only changes were:
-headlight removed (whoopdy-doo)
-drag radials

The 116mph run was 94/112 octane mix and twenty some odd percent leaner on the S-AFC settings (same boost since that's all this turbo will physically flow).

heheh...what balls?

Anyone can drop a clutch at 6000 rpm. I do that all the time. Only difference is if your car moves or just sits there and spins...hehehehe...never see my one- wheel-7000rpm-bouncing-off-the-limiter-burnout on my fwd? hehehehe...

You think it doesn't take balls to launch a FWD with slicks? Imagine the sound of snapping axles.

Is AWD superior for launching? Yes definately. But that just means that you have to compensate it with a better driver if you are a FWD pilot.

kudos to Mike.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 25, 2003 01:53 am UTC

I did learn how to drive a FWD DSM. (2.1 60' time on Aquatreads...)

It still sucks goat ass compared to an AWD launch.

You clowns are forgetting something here.. I used to be on the other team. I've lived both sides. You don't see me switching back to FWD do ya?

12.94 in a FWD.. ya, that is impressive. Even more impressive if he could do it again. I recall him mumbling something about only getting 13's last time at the track...

He mighta passed some of you that last day. I doubt he would have passed me.

Bring it on 2 wheel peel!

# DSMs in 8s: FWD: 0, AWD: 1

Yup 114 pump gas. I'm sure a bit was wheel spin but it's funny how quickly you forget how you were able to keep up with PPG on the highway with no where near the mods he has.

Anyway I haven't been arguing for FWD lately... I've taken it as far as I want to go. There is a distinct advantage on the highway, that's about it. As I said in the other thread the crow is in the oven and we'll see how it tastes soon enough

"Nice car man. Looks like I'll be back to picking on Kinnaird from now on

I'll sell the FWD or part it out back to stock to make it my winter car. I haven't decided yet. It's been pretty much a zero maintainance car so far, I'd hate to let it go. But I'd rather sell it modded since it's a good setup.

"How'd you like to have your ass handed to you by a grocery-getter wagon?"

I'm looking forward to it.

"So when is Mike bringing that wood out to a track? "

Not sure yet. Maybe as early as June. I'd rather get the stock flywheel out first if I can.

With the EXTRA mods you've got, you better pull something close to an 11.

1. Josh, butt out
I got you some epoxy to fix the waterleak for now!

2.Steve,
I like you line of thought, this thread is for bashing.
Ass kissing and public headjobs is strictly prohibited.
3. Mike, how MANY mistakes can ONE person make?!
1 Not Galant but DSM to begin with
2.FWD , duh duh duh (I mean what can I say?!)
3.and not that you are learning it it is a 2G.

choose any car of the list in my signature, we go for a run.
4.Darko,
sorry I couldn't make it this weekend. I am being raped all over by exams. I think this weeks missy is a good place to start washing the shy away.

and I may add one quote from our "Challenged" member:

Quote

Well for someone who posts here all the time, never seen this thread. I may be slow and Low but if i had the speed ( EVO 8 ENGINE NEXT YEAR !!) FWD OWNES DSM's!!

FWD owns DSM because evo engine next year?!?!?

I have no interest in your corners. it was your girl friend's corner I was going to whip.

I can out run my AWD with my FWD Accent off the line, do the math to figure how I launch a FWD.

"choose any car of the list in my signature, we go for a run. "

Add up the horse power of each of those pansies in your signature and it still won't equal what my AWD puts out

This FWD vs AWD thing is useless... we've got way too many fast cars on the AWD team, and way too many wannabe fast cars on the FWD team.

The front drivers need to learn from Mike and bail the sinking ship.

Since the AWD vs. FWD teams are very uneven at this time. What about the good old 1G vs. 2G. We have fast cars on the road from both camps and even more getting ready for the season. If my motor holds out I should be ready for this season the help MJ lay some smackdown. Although Mike can do it whatever he wishes, 1g, 2g, awd, fwd, lucky bastard guy!

And now with as prices as high as they are I don't know if I even want to drive the talon. My bike gets 17km/L! If it wasn't still fun to drive and it wasn't as modded as it is I'd seriously think about selling it and getting some POS slow econo car.

I got a good look at the 2G on Saturday. My fiancee and I were curising around looking at open houses and model homes when I spotted Stinger on the street and the 2G inside the garage. This car is a beauty.

Mike, when I talked to you I thought you hadn't done the insurance thing yet? I guess I misunderstood you.

Which car you bringing to to the track? Can you get the 2G back together again after all the insurance work you did.

Also, did the new ride affect your insurance rate much? I know you are plagued with insurance after that conviction you got.

Posted By: Mike Jackson

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - May 31, 2004 02:21 pm UTC

Yes insurance is killing me. However I have both cars insured until July 10 then Stinger is either gone or getting stored and returned to stock form.

It's on the road already with insurance Noah since you need insurance to get the plates. I have 10 days to bring it in for it's visual inspection to finalize the insurance.

BTW I launched it for the first time yesterday from 6 grand... unf#cking beleiveable

See anything or feel anything that you like better in the FWD?

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - May 31, 2004 05:06 pm UTC

I have to say that even with all the extra mods on the AWD 3rd, 4th and 5th are just as fast if not faster in the FWD I think. Of course that's on pump gas at 20 psi. Throw some race gas in and bump the AWD to 25 psi and she'll out pull the FWD no problem since the small 16G on the FWD can't do more then 20 psi to redline.

So there really is a big difference in mods vs performance on the hiway. I was suprised by how much.

Sounds like you are having a ball in the car! Great to hear Mike. But in our FWD hearts, you will always be one of us!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 03, 2004 01:56 am UTC

Well, I seriously considered putting a FWD tranny in my car, (AWD) I am so tired of taking the bitch apart. I hope once I get my awd tranny back that this will be at least a year before taking the tranny off! Maybe the rear end will explode first,

then I would:
-turn the engine
-Powerglide tranny, custom bellhousing,
-ford rear end

No more breaking then!! maybe some huge front end lifting though!

Yep.. 13.7 with major boost leaks....

What was YOUR last 1/4 mile time?

Ever get more than one 13.2??

I can show you several 13.1 slips..

(Bring the Talon next Friday.. We'll see just how econo it's become

)

It's all about driving Vince. Actually, I'm pretty sure I got that quicker E.T. with 4mph less than your 13.2...

Still using pump gas as well. <sigh> Nothing like clinging to a single timeslip you got 3 years ago...

The talon is in need of a rear wheel bearing/hub replacement, the part is coming in today if you want to give me a hand putting it in

.

But as I said, the talon is retired from drag racing, unless I stumble onto some money to install cams and injectors I have sitting in the basement.

But rememebr Steve, you have a few more Key mods than I did when I ran my 13,2 @ 105mph and talk about boose leaks, I couldn't get the intake system to hold even 1psi! I was pupming in 30psi and the highest the gauge would read was 5psi, instantly dropping to 0psi when I shut the compressor off... now those are boost leaks :rolleyes:

I ran a 13.5 with the STOCK 1.75" exhasut, still faster than that 13.7. This was with my huge intake leek.

By more mods I mean FMIC, AFC, 550cc injecotrs, hks regrinds... I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten.

My car was pretty much stock compaired to the mods you have and you only managed .1s over me

You better be breaking 12's the next time you hit the 1/4mile or we'll be calling you PPG #2.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 08, 2004 03:15 pm UTC

HUH??

FMIC??? Nope.

SAFC?? Nope.

Regrinds?? Nope.

Vince: Put the crack pipe down!

You ARE right about one thing though: (and, for you, that's actually pretty impressive!

) A 13.2 IS faster than a 13.7. However, if we're comparing slips, so far I have a best of 13.1, and a worst of 13.7. You've got a best of 13.2 (Using your amazing math skills, I'm sure you can see that it's slower than a 13.1). You haven't mentioned your worst though... I'm willing to bet it's WAY slower than a 13.7 .

Keep clinging to that (one) old slip Vince, I realize it's all you've got.

I thought you transfered all your stuff from the FWD to your AWD???

And yes, I think one time i ran a 16.5 or something but that was when I was setting the MBC, saw it go way over 25psi in first and coasted the rest of the run....

Now, lets talk MPH

Posted By: Steve Kinnaird

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 08, 2004 07:36 pm UTC

If I wanted to talk MPH, I would have kept the FWD.

Actually, you're right... LET'S talk MPH. First of all, can you explain why you needed 105MPH to get a 13.2, when obviously, all you need to do better is 100 MPH.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 25, 2004 08:37 pm UTC

Don't be disappointed. I was learning how to launch and my boost was at 15 psi through 3r and 4th

.

Boost in 1st? I have no idea, my eyes never left the tach in 1st. I really only had one half decent launch all night (1.89) and that was my second last.

This car and I should see mid 12 on pump gas once I up the boost and get the driving down.

You're right, I don't have any 12 sec timeslips. I ALSO don't have a 20G, a BR FMIC, a VPC, and SAFC, an EVC, or a 3" DP/TP.

But I still think my thread can hit 11.99 in 1/4 mile faster then PPG's car can. BOOOOOOONG! (Did I do that rite?)

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 28, 2005 03:08 am UTC

The CAR wil run 11's easy.

It's the DRIVER that's the problem. (I've seen the logs of his shifts. I thought he was at a stoplight.)

Actually, you can hear an example on another thread. Listen to that 1-2 shift.

OUCH!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 28, 2005 03:28 am UTC

JEEZ...enjoy that one time. It was quite obvious I wasn't trying

besides, I may take a little longer than I should to get down the 1/4, but at least I look good doing it

and Andy, at least I can do it.

I'd post a sound clip of your car...but crickets chirping seems unfitting of this forum

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 28, 2005 03:15 pm UTC

All I hear in this thread is 11s this and 11s that. Man, I'm so confused.

Is 11s the amount of time it takes Steve K and Mike J to eat a crow after admitting AWD is in fact, better after all?

Or is 11s the amount of time it takes Andy to clean his workbench? I hear he's got it down to a science since apparantly that's the only work he's done in his garage for 3 years?

Or is 11s the time it takes PPG to shift from 1st to second?

Or maybe it's the time it takes to say BOOOOOOONG!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 28, 2005 03:27 pm UTC

Can we take this abuse into Waldo's thread for a couple of days?

A few more posts in there, and we can hire someone to drive Mark's car into the 11's...

Welp, I just came from Andy's today....

All I can say is WOW. That workbench is dirty! Its so dirty it will be at least another year before he even thinks about working on the car.

Good thing is though...He bought one of those dragstrip launching tree lights. Just so his car can remember what they look like

No I can't launch yet but I'm getting better.

Mike, I just went from long time FWDer to AWD. Put 1000km on the car and still haven't tried to launch it. Kinda scared to tell you the truth; but come mid-season, I'll be rockin'... hopefully. Did you try to launch it like the FWD or what? How long did it take for you to change your mind-frame?

For you and your 2g, how hard can it be? Throw the studderbox on, maybe some anti-lag, peg the gas pedal, slip the clutch a bit then dump the rest once you get moving.

FWD takes talent and an insane about of launches to even get close to a 2.2 60ft w/o slicks or radials. Open diff FWD, Z-rated tires suck.

WOOOOOOOO, thats gold, my stomach hurts from laughter.

Im gonna bench race here and say my car has definate 11's in her. But the driver has alot of work.

Im pretty good at launching and the no lift to shift is getting easier as you practice, but definatly felt wrong the first few times.

The beast is still awaiting alot of parts because some idiot took her appart over the winter and now is too poor to finish it any time soon.

Ah well, I'll get my sissy ass to the track some time in my life time.

I'm with Rob as well. My car has low 13s in it, but the dumb ass in the seat has high 13s and low 14s in him so far.

Rob, I'm hoping to help your cash flow a bit this winter, but time will tell. Depends on what direction I take this car.

You don't need to install the clutch cut wire to get anti lag at launch. I use my anti lag to scare off tail gaters on my commute to and from work.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 10, 2005 04:37 pm UTC

Ummm.... no.

Actually, you never DID back up that 11.

AND... I DO believe me beating you to the end of the strip counts as me doing exactly what I said I would. Kick yer ass with a smaller turbo, and slower car.

ANYONE can BUY an 11 sec slip.. Some of us prefer to WORK for our wins though.

Posted By: Mark PPG Scheitzbach

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 11, 2005 01:54 am UTC

You beat me ONE TIME. The very first run down the track. good for you

Too bad YOU couldn't back that up either.

Posted By: Steve Kinnaird

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 11, 2005 02:51 am UTC

Actually, I backed up the time with a 12.65. Notice... WELL WITHIN the .1 sec. guidline.

Had the left lane NOT been shut down, I'm sure I would have walked you repeatedly.

I'm not even going to get into the .22 seconds I beat you to the end by. You're reaction times are almost as bad as your shift times. Although, I guess it's not YOUR fault. You ARE much older than I.

You're absolutely right. I beat you. With a MUCH smaller turbo, a lot less mods in general, and probably ~100 less HP.

Good for me.

I've never said your car sucked. Just you.

Posted By: Mark PPG Scheitzbach

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 11, 2005 11:09 pm UTC

LOL ok.

If I recall though, you got slower and slower as the day went on. I even BOUGHT you racegas and you went slower. You backed up your 12.6 absolutely, but you said you would BEAT me into the 11's.

I on the other hand, got faster all day. and the 12.044 I ran is close enough to a backed up run for me

Sure... if we put best E.T. vs best E.T.

HOWEVER, lets average them out, and THEN take into account who usually wins "heads up".

You're car has more HP, and will run a better E.T. than mine.

You still can't beat me in a race though.

Talk "stats" all you want, you wimp. We both know that I beat you to the end. (regularly).

It looks like I *DID* shut him up. (and down, at the track.)

He's been flapping his lips insistintly for years, and as soon as I mention video proof of me beating him (even though he's "faster") he dissappears.

Must be trying to find some other part to add on to try and make up for his lack of skill.

Too bad I didn't find that extra few psi of boost at the track. I would have beaten him worse. Oh well. This way I've still got more for next time.

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!

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...

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 21, 2005 08:36 pm UTC

"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.

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.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 22, 2005 03:46 am UTC

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!

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.

...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.

You know, that line has already been used, in this situation.

And slow isn't a fair term...
I'm plenty quick, just on other projects, and I hardly ever do a half-assed job.
The latter, is my largest problem, I suspect... but, it's genetic, and I can't do much about that.

Do you even REMEMBER why you bought it in the first place?

You'd THINK the guy that loved the cars enough to run a national club's website, would love them enough to get his running. Or, is it REALLY a love for computers/internet stuff, and the car was just an excuse to run a UBB?

"Actually, it's probably more like a month's worth of work... "

Uh-huh. a month's worth of work that's taking 4 years.

We tried that once. We actually went there with the intent of getting the damned car back together.

However, by the time Andy cleaned off his workbench a few times (He actually VACUUMED the damned thing!!), made a large dinner for everyone, and decided that we all needed to watch a movie...

Combine that with how upsettingly ANAL he is about everything ("Did you remember to count the number of turns it took to get that bolt out?"

)

... we got VERY little done.

If it was only about re-assembly, that would work.

But, it goes beyond that...

And besides, the last time we tried that, they just made fun of me, because I tried to clean up the tools first, and get organized, when they just wanted to shove new stuff on the car.

For crying out loud. Im probably pretty close to being as anal about things as you Andy, but from the time my car went for storage last fall till summer this year, I had built a motor for a friend, installed it in his car, took my motor out, and every thing else under the hood out, AND the interior, cleaned, sandblasted, painted, polished, dyed, bla bla bla f*ckin bla, and had it all back together not to mention all the other little favours I did like help another friend build his motor after pulling it in his garage and reinstalling it a few months later. All this while working a full time job and I had lots of time in between to slack off and party.

Im no mechanic, I learnt this sh*t from owning a DSM since my registry date. So if I can do all this in a few months, you have no excuses left in the book.

Yes Rob.
Is that an official governement poster from California?

You're right Rob, a lot of it is not required for the car to run, but that was the entire point of taking it off the road in the first place... to clean it up, add some upgrades, etc.
So, unless that's done, there isn't much point in just dumping it back on the road.

Next time you're by, drop in... I'll show you what I have accomplished in the last 3 years.

And, introduce you to Junior.
I'll never blame him, but I must admit, I was a bit off in the amount of time he occupies...

The Mrs works 5 nights a week, and we don't believe in day-care, so there are some nights when I'm nothing but Daddy.

It's great... and he will hold tools, and shine the light in my eyes, but it's definitely super slow work mode.

It'll come...

And seriously, if anyone is passing by.... 371 Binbrook Road, only 5 mins East of the traffic lights you pass on the way to Cayuga.

"stop typing and work on the car"
yeah, BS, how much work could I get done, in the 4 mins it took to reply to you boneheads. I had to be on the computer anyhow, to help a customer, so that's paid time.

Now, off to Home Depot, for more deck supplies...

I doubt it is "finished" I don't think and DSM is ever done.
And as for this thread catching Waldo's, check when this thread started. It kills in the "longjevity" factor.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 02, 2005 09:29 pm UTC

Well, it's sort of done. Or was.
Most things I wanted to do, are done, and it was back on the road.

Was.

Stupid POS fuel pressure gauge on the SX FPR, blew apart at the end of a pass.
Sprayed 112 octane everywhere, made a mess.

I'm lucky the car didn't catch on fire.
Stupid POS gauge... I put a call in to Buschur, to warn him to stop selling them with the SX.

Anyhow, I couldn't come today, because it now also has a massive exhaust leak.
I suspect, that my required immediate shutdown because of the fuel, left the manifold and turbo exhaust housing too hot, and they have warped.

Pisses me off.

Drove it two days, and now it's off the road indefinitely again.

F@cking car.

It was going so nicely too... just got the boost controller set up, was adjusting air/fuel, dropping a tenth in the 1/4, with each pass...

Shep is in the 7's, so you're still f'n slow.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 03, 2005 01:55 am UTC

11.8's is faster than that brand new 997 you've got

and it didn't cost me a mortgage size amount!!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 03, 2005 02:28 am UTC

I think it's cost you the amount of my mortgage so far. Remember last time you started adding it up? Remember how long ago that was? Remember how much you've spent since then?

Ghetto may be slower (for now) but I'm one turbo away from whooping your ass.

Hehehe..I'm close....13.49@102....but thats about it.

Living with a DSM is almost like living with an Alfa Romeo. Piece of unreliable crap, but when you have a nice day and it (finally) decides to work well, its heaven on earth (I can never forget the exhaust note).

I've lived with an Alfa for a good part of a year, so having a DSM is almost a honeymoon....despite what other ppl might say about it.

..I still think Mark spent more than a 977...really. Factor in inflation and such.......

I finally runs some solid 11's and now it's that I spent too much?

I've got about $20,000 worth of mods. That might seem like a lot BUT! I've had the car 13 years. Thats about $1500 a year in mods. Can any of you say you HAVEN'T spent about that much every year on mods?

Christ Dennis, you've spent OVER $100,000 on a car. I may be in deep, but holy cow!!

Usher, one of the requirement's to be able to post in this thread is having a DSM that run's.
No go back out to the garage and break some more bolt's on your HomeDepot orange podercoated suspension.
You should take Andy B as an anti-role model, once powdercoatitis hit's it's about 4 year's before the car get's running. Oh but he had a 2g and was able to remove part's without braking them.
The one good thing is bu the time you get the car running you won't hve to worry about an E-test or anything like that, I think after 20 year's or so you don't need one, maybe you can get some of those historic vehicle plate's as well.

Oh Snap! I was not expecting that! And for the record let me just clear up a few things! First of all Tim, my car "runs" just fine! It just doesn't move anywhere! Also, I've only powdercoated the rear swaybar, I would call it more along the lines of "sandblastitis". And I've only broken a few things, which are getting replaced!

I don't know where you are getting all this smack talking courage from! Mr. "I'm running a 16g on my stroker"! And who does a performance rebuild on an engine and then doesn't even take it to the track to see what kind of numbers it puts down!

Damn, I was hoping that post would never resurface, but I guess I can lump myself in with Kinnard and Mike J "eating crow", I blame Dennis C for offering to buy my 2.0l Ross piston's while I was out west, then a brank new crankshaft became avalible, and some Eagle rod's. The rest is history shal we say. What I can say is:
1-The car isn't getting driven as much with the move to K/W, and if the 2.3 last's more than 10-12,000km then it is doing better than the 2.0L that was in there.
2-I will not retract my other previous statement though, the 16G IS TOO DAMN SMALL. Unfortunately Turbo plan's were put on hold when it was discovered that not only was the block toast but according to Marco the previous head rebuild appeared to have been done by a "monkey".
The 2.3 is a hoot, will not make a good drag car, spools a 16G like a T-25, in fact it behave's like one, as well.
But the fact of the matter is I have driven a DSM described as "So stock it hurt's" faster than either you Noah or Steve U have gone, I may not be fast as some of the other's But I am faster than the two of you.
And Noah, my injector's are bigger than your's.

And yes, your injectors are twice the size of mine. I still have the 450s in and the 750s still in the box they came in. They are sitting right beside the Denso 260 pump and the spot where I keep my aeromotive AFPR which is in Nate's car right now. They are also keeping the new pistons company as well along with a couple of autometer gauges.

EDIT: I've just recently added a Greddy Type S BOV to that shelf. I might have to free up a second shelf for all my upgrades that I never install.

Tim, you can make fun of my time slips all you want, but my car was only out of commission for 6 weeks while I got my 6 bolt. I have over 250k kms on it now, can you say the same?

And as for the car. Yes mine is a 92 that has been drivable for 99% of its lifespan. Yours on the other hand is a 1997, which makes it 8 years old. It was off the road for nearly 4 years. That means it was incapable of driving for 50% of its lifespan.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - October 14, 2005 05:20 am UTC

I debated carpet, tile, and even hardwood... but in the end, just decent floor paint from Home Depot. You get colour choice, so I went with a red clay brick.

It looks good, as long as you don't let fellow club members spray brake cleaner all over it.

What you can't see from that angle, is the coffee maker, beer fridge, heater, or air conditioner.

If you've ever been to Cayuga, then you've been through Binbrook.

It's the little town, with the corner store, restaurant, grocery story, and tractor store, about half way between the QEW, and where you turn right, to go down to Cayuga.

yes, it's 15 minutes from everything, but at the same time, it's also 15 minutes from everything.

So, Steve is once again claiming "computer-based code monkey HP" gains for his "super secret squirrel" technology on his intake.

Something about 25 hp over Mark, at the wheels.

In the mean time, Mark is installing 300lbs of amps, subs, etc, and turning down the boost.

No wonder Steve is faster now...

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 09, 2006 02:54 am UTC

Listen you miserable sh!t. STEVE IS NOT FASTER. He may be faster in his little grocery store world, but in the real world he's still only got a mid to high 12 second car... actually kinda like yours...weird huh.

Actually, I'm currently claiming 1.3HP worth of acceleration LESS than RRG.

However, I think we ALL know my driving will MORE than make up for that. (Or rather, HIS driving won't let him win with that...)

Not to mention, I was running that with the cyclone butterflies closed the entire pull. I should have more data today. I'm also sure I'll let you guys know about it.

So, what's your best time Andy?? Please, give us a time with the car making it to the finish unbroke, will ya?

No no no.... got that fixed ages ago, but thanks for asking. Had to do that right away, the Koi were complaining.

But, Mark... at least Steve is current.
His data is current.
We're making changes today, to be faster tomorrow, and not resting on our laurels.

Take a look at your 11 second timeslip... the ink fades over time, as does the glory.
When are you going to back that up?

Shouldn't we have some sort of rule about keeping times like that current, if you want braging rights?

I mean, you don't hear Buschur crowing today, about his RWD runs, and they were awesome.

"Code Monkey"d and coached his driving.

Ask RRG who explained how to cut 3 tenths off his time by simply shifting when he SHOULD.

Now, if we could only get him shifting as FAST as he SHOULD.

Why Steve?
Just how fast is the Ghetto Junket these days?
Aren't you running mid-11's?

The reason I have no clue precisely, is that all of my runs, were tuning attempts, and 12's weren't the goal anyhow.
So, anything less than the RRG, was pretty much ignored.

At the time, you will recall... He hadn't yet backed up the 11 we helped him get. You showed him when to shift, I showed him where to launch from.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 10, 2006 08:01 pm UTC

HE doesn't have to remove anything. He gets MY sorry ass to do that. (I just leave him stranded to put it all back together.

)

Actually, Andy, he DID back-up that 11. He made a few 11 sec. runs one day at Cayuga while you were cleaning your workbench last year. When he finally got the balls to shift at 8K.

Ghetto Junket has a best of 12.6 on pump so far. (I think you got a 12.8 on race gas, no??) ALL "tuning" runs? so, you mean to tell me that since 2001, you've never even made a good pass? Wow. I'd stay out of THIS thread if I were you. It's only for those of us who actually race.

For anyone who cares: it appears leaving the cyclone butterflies closed will rob you of at least 15HP at the wheels. 15 - 1.3 = 13.7 hmmmmm....

Posted By: Mark PPG Scheitzbach

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - June 11, 2006 12:48 pm UTC

Yes I did back it up. I actually ran a 12.1 on pump that day, and an 11.8 and 11.9 on 112 unleaded (which sucks!)

Steve, that was actually the day he said he was gonna kick my ass remember? All those tooning runs, talking to Lionel on MY cell phone. Fuel fittings breaking and spraying gas all over his nice clean engine

Peckernuts ran a 12.27@114 last night. Not only am I faster on pump, but I managed a 12.1@113 (last year) with almost exactly the same 60' times. So I can do a quicker ET with less MPH....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Posted By: Steve Kinnaird

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 06, 2006 09:46 pm UTC

Actually, you're car WAS quicker. I'm faster.

What does the Rainbow Racer run NOW that you've added 100lbs of junk to it? I'll bet it's not 12.1's on pump anymore.

Let's go back to how this thread first started, shall we?? I couldn't beat your E.T. in the FWD, so I would just spank you on the highway.

By comparing our trap speeds, now I can do it in the AWD, too.

One good run does not make you a BETTER driver. It made you a LUCKY one. Let's look again at your usual performance shall we?

111 MPH to get a 12.6 I was quicker with only 106 MPH. Back then, I could beat you at the track, but you'd walk me on the highway.

Now, I've proven I can beat you on the highway, AND at the track. You're BEST E.T. may be quicker than mine, but one battle doesn't win the war. Does it?

You're still the loser here. I finally got to the point where I can beat you EVERYWHERE.

Now, let's look at what I DON'T need to do thaT:

I don't need a SMIM.
I don't need a 3" downpipe.
I don't need a test pipe.
I don't need a set of 272s.
I don't need a VPC.
I don't need to lower my tire pressure.

(That's right, I don't just race "pump gas". I race in "street trim". None of your playing with tire pressures, etc. I pull in, I tech, I race.)

I'm no math teacher, but I'm pretty sure if you add all that up. You're a loser.

A big purple loser, at that.

Edit: Crap!! I just realised, there's MORE stuff I don't need:

I don't need a 20G.
I don't need an external wastegate.
I don't need 660cc injectors.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 07, 2006 03:14 am UTC

Hold on there Mr magical math.

First of all, other than that stoopid video you keep linking to, you've only beaten me a "few" times for one reason or another. So what? I'm far from perfect

My point remains, I'm still faster. You wanna run an 11, STFU and spend some money on a test pipe, or some race gas. If you wanna be cheap that's your problem. If you wanna beat me, then step up bitch

Here's what you need to remember. Aside from the SMIM I have done NOTHING to the car in years. EVERYTHING from the 20g to the VPC is old school. Could I rebuild a faster car for cheaper now, HELL yes. Am I gonna go out and buy MORE stuff for the car, hell no. At least not until you beat me

You started building this car only a couple of years ago. Have things changed in the DSM world since I bought all my stuff 5-10 years ago? I think so.

And as I told you tonight, I found some old notes from the weigh scales on the 407 from a couple of years ago. the weight hasn't really changed. It's still a big fat pig, but it's still faster than you.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - July 07, 2006 11:31 am UTC

Beating you I can do. It's beating you EVERY time that I haven't mastered yet. Kinda like golf... not EVERY hole can be your best one.

Sure, stuff has changed, but that doesn't change the fact that I can get more for less. I'm not talking $$ here, I'm talking equipment. I'm not running anything "new school" that you're not.

Unless 2.5" downpipes, and cats are considered new, and improved, DSM mods.

Oh, wait.. maybe you mean the intake manifold I'm using that's older than your car?

Member number 1, was me.
Mark and Steve were right there in the top 3 too.

Problem was, one day in the very early days of the UBB, the member database got corrupted, and for a few hours one morning, it started overwriting members from #1 onward.

Adam happened to re-apply that morning, so he got #3. By the time I found it, we were up to #10.

It was easier at the time, to just correct the problem, and leave the results. The other 8 below #10, disappeared over time.

I wanted it so bad that I let Josh "run 11's in anything" Forbing drive my car. He showed me that its the car

. After he ran a 14 and a 16 he got out of the car and said it aint gonna happen.

Did you both beat me in A race, yes. Did either of you come close to either of my fastest times? NO.

He basically told me ALL my synchros are shot and the tranny would NOT take a quick shift at all.

He had improved another guys time by 3/10ths driving his car, so I know he could have done it in mine...

No, the track was STICKY as all hell.

I just don't normally do stutterbox launches on the street... so I was out of practice!

Don't forget that most of his passes at the strip SINCE he got the car back together, have been "tooooning passes".

Tooooned himself into a 12 sec. car with 11 sec. parts. You guys seem to do that a LOT.

Hey maybe we should take a poll on that topic too and we'll see what the consensus is

Posted By: Andrew Bienhaus

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 03:01 pm UTC

And I'm a terrible driver, who also doesn't know anything about cars. (just ask your buddy Marco, he'll tell you)

So, why aren't you beating me?

And Steve, the difference here, that I very graciously accept, is that you make tuning passes every day, to and from work. The beauty of a daily driver.
I have to book an appointment with my schedule two weeks out, to do any driving.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 03:48 pm UTC

I ran a bunch of mid-low 12's, and a couple of fubared 13's with bad shifts. Take your ONE hollow victory running a 12.9 and head off to that University on your shirt (STFU).

If you spent half as much time tooning as you do emailing people to get a consensus, you might actually get faster

Posted By: Andrew Bienhaus

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 03:57 pm UTC

Hollow or not, it still tastes as good. (like a bunny at Easter)

I wouldn't have to ask for a consensus, if people I knew, actually knew anything for sure.

Actually, he IS. Over and over, in different ways. Usually E.T. AND MPH.

You get a quicker E.T. than he did, once. I haven't seen the slip, but I'll bet his MPH is way over yours.

Your best against his worst of the day happened to be on the same run.

Wow, you should have bought a lottery ticket that day..

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 05:18 pm UTC

Oh I can freely admit that Steve is a better and more consistent driver than me. He has proved it to me with his times. Andy on the other hand has nothing. Hell I ran 12.9 with a 16g.

My car has run faster than either of theirs with ME driving. Which means with someone who can really drive it could go faster than 11.8
Maybe at the next peckerhead shootout we'll switch cars and see who drives better?

Posted By: Steve Kinnaird

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 05:33 pm UTC

I thought the track was for going fast. Not for looking pretty as you put your street car back on the trailer with a mitful of timeslips that are slower than what you say the car "will" run.

12.9s on a 16g? Hell, I've run a 12.2 on a 16G.

12.9s on a 20G would be enough to make me buy a Ford Focus and be done with it.

"My car has run faster than either of theirs with ME driving. Which means with someone who can really drive it could go faster than 11.8
"

We tried that. It went 14.40, and 16.06.

Posted By: Andrew Bienhaus

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 05:52 pm UTC

Yeah, that's what the track is for, I agree.

Too bad a trained border official, someone trained in visual inspection, interpretation, and trusted with the safety of a nation -- felt otherwise.

When I have as many hours/kilometers on the car as you do, and can't pull a 12.2, then you can laugh.

In that light, after 3.5 years of EXTRA practice that Mark got in while my car was off the road -- why didn't he get any better?

Bong!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - August 17, 2006 07:52 pm UTC

My car has 79,000km on it, me having put approx 60,000 on it myself, the rest by my wife and the dealer I bought it from (it was a demo)

That's the extent of my driving a stick experience. Now divide that by 14 yrs and it equals approx 4000km per year, 1200km of which would be drving to the SO the years I didn't tow it.

Bah! Fuckit. I give up. I've got the fastest slip,lots of car show trophies and yet somehow I'm the slowest, ugliest, worst driving pos there is...

You just wait Ryan, when Jay's car is running he is going to pull a 14.8 and you won't be talking so much!!

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 08, 2013 04:36 pm UTC

Hmmm....

14.8-10.7 = 4.1 seconds.

I've had sex in less time.

At least with the stripper you can go for a second round!

Posted By: Jay Stacey

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 08, 2013 10:37 pm UTC

Ill be going for 14s ...er ..12s in my 1g. with some high boost and water injection. And getting my 2 g on the road and legal.

Posted By: Salomon Ponte

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 08, 2013 11:18 pm UTC

-Fix any and all leaks (oil ain't cheap!)
-Rebuild P/S pump (would be nice to have P/S again after almost never having it since I've had the car running...including while Autox-ing at the SO...that was a workout and a half!)
-Black Silicone Hose Kit (Complete)
-Extensive Ducting for both the rad and front brakes
-S/S Brake Lines
-Rebuild TB
-Acquire new hotside with good threads and heavily port it - use new OEM turbo bolts
-Possibly upgrade to some high end rotors and pads, depending on what I can afford/if I deem her track-worthy
-Install complete black leather interior
-Install radio (would be nice to finally have one for the drive to Ohio this year!)
-Install Prosport EVO Oil Pressure gauge and possibly an EVO Fuel Pressure gauge
-Re-tune and turn up the boost (threw on the E16G right before she went away)
-Possibly purchase/install a TiAl BOV
-Fix fuel gauge
-Heatwrap Downpipe
-Maybe a rear swaybar
-Maybe bushing overhaul (front and rear)

As you can tell from the above list it's mainly just maintenance and cleaning stuff up to make her run even more reliably, as I plan to DD her this summer as I did last. I'm still a F/T student, so keeping costs down is critical.

Hopefully I'll be breaking into the 11's (first 12's though) this year! Most importantly though, I want to get her on a real track (i.e. one with turns...none of this straight-line drag racing stuff). If not, I'll have to enjoy the twisties in the Mazda until she's ready.

What turbo do you plan on running Jay? Throw that small 16G on it you have of mine, it'll definitely get you into the 12s for sure!!

Posted By: Jay Stacey

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 08, 2013 11:55 pm UTC

I traded that for the 20g. Im gonna use the big 16g i got from the last part out I did.

Posted By: Jeremy Gilbert

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 08, 2013 11:58 pm UTC

Still working out all of the kinks left over from the previous owner, so I'll be doing a lot of maintenance this year as well. I'm not planning much until I get the new engine running and see what it needs. If all goes well and I manage to not break anything, I'll be taking her to the track and hunting for 11s!

Oh nice! What's your setup like? FMIC? Fuel? Meth?

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 09, 2013 01:04 am UTC

The 1G be stock.. stock ic.. bov.. 450 injectors with the auto ecm, using the maft to adjust injector compensation. m even thinkin of fitting a gm maf into he stock air can. And tuning with a safc. and logging with a palm pilot.

old school!

I dont know if ill get in the 12s I just want somethin sandra can beet the hondas with.

and i think ill be going with water injection. I understand it better and takes less tuning adjustments.

Posted By: Ryan Laliberte

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 09, 2013 01:07 am UTC

Yeah, you'll have a hard time even breaking 14's on that setup, but it will smoke most of the Honda crowd for sure!

Posted By: Jay Stacey

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 09, 2013 01:17 am UTC

Im mainly concerned about the injectors. If I can get my hands on some big injectors for my 2g then Ill use the currant 750s in the 1g but hen Ill have to invest more money into the fuel control. I cant afford to make 2 drag cars. So that may turn out to be a chipped eprom ecu. Or a really good deal on v2.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 13, 2013 11:02 pm UTC

I would pay to see that! The leadup smack talk would be legendary and then the post race talk even better.

Posted By: Steve Kinnaird

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - February 15, 2013 02:35 am UTC

Probably not. PPG claims that every time he goes to the track it costs him an engine.

The talk begins already and the race isn't even organized!

Ummmm yeah no. I'm done with drag racing. My last trip cost me a ton of money. Besides, I am really not good at it.

Race Andy. Oh wait, he's too slow for all of us :-D #13sallday

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - April 26, 2013 10:50 am UTC

The Yellow faggoty wonder should be good for a mid/low 11. (some guys claim a high 10, but I don't think so.

With ME on it. We're looking at the mid 14s range.

I'd like to find out, but I've NEVER tried launching it. I'd need some practice... A track day would be good for that... Hmmmmm...

They're on VHS.

Asked my cousin if he still had the VHS tapes of when we were down at Cayuga back in the day.

He has 2. We'll see who's in the video.

Re: Check check. 1 2 1 2... - April 26, 2013 09:37 pm UTC

I might watch...but really I don't want to race. I'm happy I made it through last year with nothing breaking. On a side note: It will be 21 years in June that I've owned the PP. Anyone else here that can top that?
