Racing tips

if you have any Racing Tips you want to share do it here. :worshippy

sure I'll bite.

1. Don't post racing locations online. :disappoin

I'll let others continue.

2. Don't race in front of a police station...I have seen it.

3. Go to the track....or atleast don't race on a crowded street/highway.

4. dont race where they is people walking you can hurt some one and dont race under bad weather conditions.. keep it safe

5. Dont go to the yellow lane just to try to get a win.

6. don't race on a bent rim

^^^^^
haha

7. don't do gay-ass ricer fly-bys

my crapy 89 tracer http://www.cardomain.com/id/evilmexican

8. dont down shift to 1st on the freeway (thinking its 3rd)

9) if you know you won already slow the car down as soon as possable

^^^ then the other person will pass you and will think he won^^^

make sure your brake lights turn on or hazard there ass but slow down

if he does that then he's a ricer, and ricers mean nothing

if he does that then he's a ricer, and ricers mean nothing

agree :smile: no ricer should control the race

10. Dont redline untill your engine is completely warmed up.

11. Have respect.
12. Learn to drive before you learn to race.

13. Dont spin your back tires for a block and a half.

14, always keep yr eyes on the road ahead and anything that involves with that road, keep focussed and hold yr concentration, even when a passenger is in yr car

drive safe

how about... keep it on a track?

15 Don't race with passengers... Especially gfs who hate racing

you don't want to have to explain to the family of a friend why you decided to race with him/her in the car

"Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn."
-from Better Off Dead

if you get tagged by a cop dont run you may be able to outrun them but you cant outruna radio and a helo

if you get tagged by a cop dont run
Agreed.
but you cant outruna radio and a helo
Disagreed.

1. There are not Helio's everywhere.
2. There is not always more than one cop in an area so that radio can be worthless. :D

*shrug* Around here people run from the cops all the time. My friend w/ a 400 whp SRT-4 can outrun most of the cruisers, then just hide in a nondescript residential zone until the cops are gone.

And yeah, cops can't afford helos anymore, Bush took all the police/education/whatever funding and blew it on Iraq.

Sieg Heil Bush!

no hazards, make it very evident braking and have a sign that says, "you're slow ride made my day" to show him

16. Dont race a parked car (beleive me, ive seen it done). You only look stupid after doing it.

17. Dont be a prick. Acknowledge another persons run with a wave or thumbs up whether you win or not. There's no need for one fingered salutes if your just racing.

Dont sit their and rev at people that arent interested in street racing at everystop light you two approche.
Some jack ass in a lime green del sol did that to me last week. 3rd time he started I put showed him that I was calling the police(well it was a bluff but if he would have continued I would have).

Also, keep it on the track. :)

Also, keep it on the track. :)

lol this is the street racing forum? but yeah, dont race where there are other cars or pedestrians.

i like number 17 :iceslolan

race at night.....or day???

15 Don't race with passengers... Especially gfs who hate racing
here here!

Number 15 yeah the gf hates it and doesnt understand why u would modify a perfectly great car or street race.
20. Never street race with someone in the car with u can indanger ur life but dont even think about endaging someone elses. have them get out and watch.
Race in the middle of nowhere where noone is gonna get hurt becareful and be nice and plz dont race when its raining or wet outside thats just dumb.

I wonder how long it will be before webster puts the work "ricer" in the dictionary? It's used pretty widely these days

21. watch out for sleepers.

I think all this advice can be summed up into one quote


"Dont be a fucking dumbass"

#22: "Don't enter a hairpin turn at 70mph" :lol2: *see r.i.p. STi thread*

lol

#23 If the guy says it isn't worth his time, that means he'll lose by 5 or more car-lengths or he's a hard core ricer either way he'll still lose and it isn't worth YOUR time

#24 Put your brights on while racing, even in broad daylight.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i d'nt know if i'm dumb or what,
but why put your brights
on?

So people can see you and so you can see them a little better.

Because when you're accelerating as fast as you can, you want to take every pre-caution to make sure that people see you coming.

...win everytime...

Seriously:
Don't over stress the car, if you feel it going bad, or feel something going wrong, STOP. You don't want to make it any worse than it already is.

I like that quote on your sig man

yea i don't like it when people go "well he redlined that evo in 2f2f and it was fine afterwards" it's stupid how people don't realize that it's hollywood and if you push your car too much or when it doesn't want to be pushed... you may be walking home or literally pushing it home with you. I've known many of a folk who blew their engine because they were not being considerate to their car.

25. Don't overuse the N20.
Just because they seemed to spray at every chance they got in f&f, doesn't mean you can too!

26. Just because you have nitrous does not
mean your car is fast. (for all the dumb ricers)

27. A WING DOES NOT MAKE YOUR CAR FASTER!

Sorry for the caps but all the ricers with wings from walmart who think that they are uber-pimp need to:
a. Remove wing from car.
b.Insert said wing into rectum.
c. Enjoy!

Thanks.:cheers:

And this is exactly why alot of young ones will blow the shit out of their B16, because they rev the shit out of it consistantly and while racing, don't let off of it.

Dont race in reverse, you dont stand a chance of winning.

Dont race in reverse, you dont stand a chance of winning.

Or beter yet, don't try to show off by driving in reverse on a crouded highway while flipping off your best friend.

har

i knew i shouldn't had brought up 2f2f... oh jeez... lol

i think that should be another rule...
thou shalt not mention the movie with the name that none shall speak of.

:lol: ^^ditto which brings me to racing tip #28

28. Don't jump draw bridges. All the cool kids might being doing it, but don't give into the peer pressure.

29. dont Red line to 8000 RPM unless your car is tuned up good or u drive an RX-7 like me (Rotery engine)

Rsx Type S redlines at 8000, but I rarely put that kind of pressure on my baby

30 Seriously watch for cops around at any time when your racing...a street racing charge will ruin your driving career. and try paying for insurance when they see that on your record

29. dont Red line to 8000 RPM unless your car is tuned up good or u drive an RX-7 like me (Rotery engine)

R-O-T-A-R-Y. Its your car and you can't spell it right. Jeez. Just because you have a rotary doesn't mean you can rev it to 8K everyday. Ever hear of an apex seal? Ever had to replace one? Me either, but it seems like it would be a pain in the ass. Ever hear any of the apex seal horror stories? I have. Trust me, they are more than a pain in the ass. Point being, you don't need to rev your engine all the time. You shouldn't rev it to 8k to look cool. You shouldn't shift at redline, you should shift right after you make peak horsepower. When you shift, your engine should be right at the beginning of its powerband. And not every car redlines at 8k. S2k redline at 9k but I believe they are capable of 10.5k. Don't hold me to that.

race in a straight line ....or I would at least and make sure your tires are alined
