[emokid15]

damn i leave for 1 day and come back and theres 7 pages. i was reading all of it 2 catch up. oh and DRIFTY nice kill on that civic.

Well this isnt a race, but its a good go at my truck.

I went crusing the other night and i could never catch a stop light. so finally i pulledo out on to a rural road and stoped. I reved it up to 4,000 and fethered the clutch out nice and smooth. i counted in my head (not the best way) and i got to 60 in around 7-8sec. not bad IMO. i was really moving up untill about 40mph. i need to perfect mt shift points and get one of thoes G-Force things to tell my my real 0-60 1/4 mile and all that good stuff. you can really feel it when it hits its power ban (3,500-5,500) and its pretty easy to keep it there, its just with these shorter gears it tops 6000RPM in 3rd at like 65-70. which means for a 0-60 i am usually about ready to shift into 4th when i hit 60, most cars and some trucks is a 1-2 shift. oh well. i bet i have some decent 60ft times though. maybe even a halft way decent 1/8 mile (for a truck).
lol, i just got a carbon fiber shift knob to match the interior but it has chrome on it. damn it. i have no chrome on my truck at all except for the bumper (my rims are brushed aluminum) and im not really into corrdinating the exterior/interior. im thinking of gettind some paint and painting the chrome flat black or deep gray to match either the shift boot or the lether on the door panels. maybe ill post some pics so you guys can get a better idea of what i am talking about.

What I want is the nice leather shift knob from a Kouki RX-7 Turbo II to put in the Jetta. I've got the Zenki type in my '88, but it's not as nice.

Oh yeah, I raced a Contour today and won. Big deal, I know. Not much to race around here that actually bites the line.

Mine is From walmart. It was free. i love my local walmart. they give me lots of 5 finger discounts as long as i bring my knife and a hoody.... (whoops too much info...)

[dampachi]

killed a 2nd gen? eclipse GS with a huge muffler. too many bus lengths to count.

[Aerowitz]

So was the shift knob actually free, or have we learned more than is necessary about you?

God, Eclipses have really been getting a boot in the ass lately...

Not a race but....

I was at our local restraunt/bar tonight with my boss and a couple people that come to our restaraunt. They are all NASCAR V8 people and were also drunk as skunks. They also talk a lot of smack about my car being an import and such. You know, errogant A-holes that really don't have a clue. So when leaving, my boss gets it a little with his truck(Dodge Ram 1500 with flows). So I get to about 15mph, push the clutch in a little, rev to about 4.5k and let the clutch out while pressing the gas to the floor. Man the tires spun like hell to aobut 30mph in first. Then I shifted to second and obtained optimal wheelspin. You know, just the right amount of wheelspin with grip to give you one hell of a pull. I was sucked into the seat. 50mph came up pretty quick so I got out of it. It was an awesome feeling like no other. Man I love this car. Once again, a story not worthy of a full thread.

i followed a dropped eg civ hatch and mustang gt. too much traffic to do much but i could tell something would happen if there werent traffic.

[street_racer_00]

Yeah, uh, I hit standing water on the 101 between westlake and camarillo last night while it was raining like it was going out of style, that one got my HEART racing...see, it is a race! Oh yeah, I have bald front tires...

[Aerowitz]

^ Holy Shit! Did you hydroplane or what? ^

A few weeks ago when the torrents of rain were killing Iowa, I got the Jetta to hydroplane on a bridge because, as usual, I was going too fast. Scared the living shit out of me when the front tires lost it, and the rear started sliding out wide to the left... I regained control a few seconds later, but I can guarantee you I was going granny speed all the way home from then on that night!

Anyways... I raced a 2004 Civic LX today on River Road and beat her about 3/4 of the way down. Nothing to write home about. Saw that '05 Mustang again, but again she didn't bite. DAMN IT!

i smoked a kia sephia today.... idiot was swirving through traffic and almost hit me, so at the light i turned up my system (was louder than his ) and he got mad and started revving... light turned... let's just say that at the next light (about a mile) i had roasted him.

[RB26_Enthusiast]

my friend has a eclipse gs-t, and we were racing this lime green turbo honda civic hatch from streetlight to streetlight on a 3 lane road, when we pull up to a light on both sides of a pontiac gto, so my friend and the guy in the civic, who has air bags and keeps popin up and down, keep reving our engines and the gto isnt showing any signs that hes gonna go with us. The light turns green and my friend and the civic take off, about 5 second later, the gto blows by us while we are flooring it and i almost shit my pants. It was no contest.

I was hydroplaning 75% of my trip...it was like the steering wheel had a mind of it's own...seriously the most scared I've ever been in my entire life, and I've done some pretty stupid stuff.

Had my 2nd race, first loss tonight with my Tiburon. Messed around with a Civic that sounded like it had a fart can and 4 spare tires on. Hit a red light, gunned it when it went green. I jumped ahead and stayed a few feet ahead of him till about 3rd gear. Smashed it into fourth and his ass flew past me and got me by about 1 1/2 car lengths at 75mph. Can we say sleeper?! Fun shit though.
