I'll cut to the chase, two races, one from a 10 mph roll and another from a dig. Got ahead at first and then missed 2nd first race. I was like WTF? I then notice it is quite difficult to get into 2nd at all. Next race, I got the jump off the line agian and could not get 2nd agian! I was furious and could not figure out why it was near impossible to get into second. Well, I decide to pull over to see if I can figure out what is going on and it turns out my digi camera had worked its way into the shiftboot making it near impossible to get it into second. So there you go....two deaths from a 02 Mustang GT. :loser:

On a side note I did beat him earlier in the day. :D

Thats why I don't have a shift boot! lol


or anything in my car for that matter.. lol

Hi, My name is Brenda I noticed your question in regards to vinyl lettering. I have seen and ordered vinyl decals for my car, the website is REMOVED. They have a huge selections of decals and you can customize any or them and their vinyl lettering section allows you to type and see it on screen. You can also change colors and fonts and it all appears live on your screen. Good Luck!


That site sucks.. they are way overpriced and you are just a POS spammer :banghead:

Don't like the rims on that green 3000GT. I would prefer low profile rims on it. Black rims on a green GT doesn't really suits it... This car is my all time favorite...:cool: :biggrin:

i only assume you're talking about my car. thanks for the input, i'll go buy new wheels right away.

If this matters at all I think they look pretty good. And not to mention, since they are 17's and not 18's or especially 19's he hasn't lost his DD ride quality. And on top of that, they also probably don't weigh a thousand pounds a piece. .02

BTW, Stealthee or Polygon put a permaban on hoe. Keeps putting up random links and is about as useless to this forum as non-alcoholic beer is to Blink and I.

i like the black and green combo. don't like the chrome lip, but then again i'm not a fan of chrome wheels, more the gunmetal and black kinda guy. but to each his own

spammers have been delt with.

hows everyone doing in life?

well i've lost my job, which sucks cause i know how to pay for a 600 conversion for my 944 and leave me like 200 for gas to find a new job. other than that, pretty decent, can't really complain.

944's just been a bitch lately, hood won't open, and can't get access to the pin from underneath, i'm going to need a car lift(good friend), fried the fuses in it for the clock, lap timer, and all the gages and lights, slammed my fingers in the door jam, got hit by the headlight assembly when i took it off. and slightly hit the stealth(only a scratch) with the back end because the reverse light went out. got pulled over for the taillight being out, then to find out it wasn't out, just loose, cop gave a shit attitude and i just bent over like a bitch and took it, i'm not in the space to argue(he let me off). lost rear grip with the 944 and spun, luckily no damage to anything, and to top it all of with just the car, it now has a leak in the roof and any rain gets in the car, and i really can't spare the 20 bucks for a new seal.

geez, all kinds of crap goin on with you.

for some reason i cant hold my temper when it comes to an asshole cop, its like its embedded in my dna to get an attitude with them.

well atleast your alive and healthy (i hope).
me i cant complain, life has been forgiving and helpfull.
i dont know why it took me so long to go back to school, but i'm glad i did.
once i'm done with all of this schooling, i'll be getting another vr4.
my goal is to find a 1st gen, and get everything rebuilt, engine, tranny, bigger turbo's
i fell in love with the vr4 in first gen style, and it will always be my favorite.
we'll see

usually for me when it rains, it pours. but 99% of the time it goes away within a few days or that week.

my friend's helping with the hood tommorow, my fingers aren't that bad, luckily i kinda got the door slowed a lil b4 impact. fuses, eh, a few bucks at advanced auto fixed that. bought new headlights that work, beautifully at that. the stealth still has the bad clutch and damaged right front, so i'll just add the lil scratch to the shops repair list.

i only have 1 point on my lisence, but i'm trying to go about 3yrs without a ticket, therefor it'll clear out and i can work for UPS as a driver...and rent a car. thus leaving me with the only option of taking it from the officer. now being it was a female officer, kinda nice looking, i had no issues, other than a lil studder.

life's been crazy lately for mee too. getting ready to start a new job at San Antonio International. All i have left to do is go up to kansas city on Nov. 19th and get my psychiatric evaluation, medical, and drug test done. I'll be moving in mid december. Then flying home to upstate NY for christmas.

Nice to see you back young! Now stick around!

On a side note, I had a guy with a stock 2.0L WRX (not even the 2.5L) tell me that VR4's are heavy and slow. I had a good chuckle as he tried to explain to me that mid 14's was faster than mid 13's.

i can't stand talking to people like that. Almost as bad as someone trying to talk politics with someone who just keeps saying why Turd Sandwich is better that Giant Douche, or visa-versa, and it becomes clear they dont have a clue WTF they're talking about and probably watch more American Idol than world news... (sigh)

so anyways, anyone heard from Igo or Musashi recently?

^^Nope, those 2 have dropped off the face of the planet. I used to hit Musashi up every once in awhile but it's been WAY long now and I don't know if he has the same number anymore!?! LOL But yeah, I think Musashi still posts every so often in the racing forum. Vert, naw...that guy's been MIA for as long as I can remember. He's not even on AIM anymore either...hope they're both doing well...

Good to hear from everyone...or at least almost everyone. Just to share since everyone else is, I recently got a new job at a place that builds custom headlights for people all around the world, so I cant somplain. But I do get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow so that is gonna suck:frown:. Other than that things are going pretty decent

hey you're gonna be a chipmunk...depending on how much swelling you get, my sister had it bad, me however, i never got wisdom teeth, neither did my mom, dentist said that it means i'm more evolved.

he used to be over in the street racing section all the time, my guess is the baby has taken a lot of his free time, not like that's bad.

god i haven't seen a vert post in like a year or so.



thought it was funny:

I like big boost and I cannot lie, you other brothas can't deny, when the turbo spools at a violent pace and there's a crazy look on your face you get sprung! Deep in the vein the adrenalines flowin', I'm hooked and I can't stop boostin', oh ladies yeah ladies yeah this aint no f-in Mercedes, so turn it up, floor it out, even S/C guys got to shout, baby got boost! You can keep it sleeper or show, but please don't lose that boost!

Hey Torch, I read on the other thread that you're from Bismark, ND, right? I know a couple people out in Fargo...isn't that semi close-by!?! LOL I don't know how big the towns are out there but does Erin and/or Jodee ring a bell by any chance!?! :p

Ha yeah I'm from Bismarck, fargo is about 200 miles away but I go thee a lot. I would have to know their last names since my area has about 100,000 people and the Fargo are is probably almost twice that size. Not huge cities, but too big to go off of first names haha

hey you're gonna be a chipmunk...depending on how much swelling you get

the dentist told me to take a pill the night before and then take another pill an hour before i got to the office.
i kid you not i cannot rember anything within 5 hours of taking that last pill before going.
whatever pill that was should be banned

that pill should not be banned, it'd make poor people have no reason to visit a dentist and get some teeth pulled. whatever it was, my sister didn't get it, and it was funny as hell to watch her talk. she just used ice to put the swelling down a little bit. she then told me i'd have to go through the same shit someday, well 10yrs later nope, not yet, and dentist says they aren't showing on any xrays

Ha yeah I'm from Bismarck, fargo is about 200 miles away but I go thee a lot. I would have to know their last names since my area has about 100,000 people and the Fargo are is probably almost twice that size. Not huge cities, but too big to go off of first names haha

LOL Erin Arlien and Jodee Elhard!?!

Ha nope slade I dont know them. If you ever happen to come visit them for whatever reason let me know! Haha

Ok so what is the deal with this? I installed my MBC and gauge and set it to 14 psi. We did some 3rd gear pulls to set it just so we knew what it spiked at...but since we were in 3rd gear we never really were accelerating that fast at the lower rpms. However, after setting it, it was clear that it started to cutout at about 4,200rpms and I was in need of new plugs and wires (most importantly regapped plugs). Well, I rarely drive the VR4 hard at all (even when I am racing I don't go all out on it) and since I have my SL back I haven't been driving it as much either. Well, today was a cold brisk day but very dry with clear skies so I took it out. After driving around for a while, I pulled out and punched it (not even launching it as I was probably going 10 mph or so) and it took off and almost immediately broke all 4 tires loose causing my back end to shift momentarily and then hooked back up and shot off like a rocket. I was actually so stunned that it broke loose and then caught traction agian I just pushed in the clutch and gently put it into 2nd and then continued. Now the part that stumps me is how did I break 4 new Z rated tires on a slow roll? And secondly, why wasn't there any problem like there was before with the plugs? Truth be told I don't think I have ever been in a car that took off like that from a slow roll...I was actually a bit scared afterwards lol. I have before gotten on the throttle a bit to see what it had and it never took off like this so I don't know what the deal was.

Ha did you remember to wipe? I kinda did that in 701's car when he let me drive it. I was going just under 15mph in first and brake boosted to about 12-13psi and let it rip! The wheels kinda slipped but didnt actualy break loose all the way then it just squatted and took the hell off! Then I cried a bit after I realized I had to go back to FWD

Haha yeah, the only thing I think of is that there may have been a bit of gravel or something that caused the car to break loose because nothing like that has occured before.

the only time i ever spun the tires on my stealth(still sitting stock) was on a 5k launch...probably explains the clutch being gone. i did it 1 or 2x, both time broke loose. but once i gained traction its like immediatly you come out of gear and hit the brakes or you're off to the races. i can't imagine breaking loose on a low rolling launch, but i guess with enough power it can be done with the awd.

at 14.5psi wats the power supposed to be, 350?

At the most 345 HP at the crank. Probably more like 335 HP. The only time I've ever broke loose was on a 3,500 RPM drop while it was very wet and very cold. It slipped only for an instant and then it just dug in and hauled ass.

See that is the thing, I rarely ever drive it hard and I have never given it anything near a full launch. I will say it was quite a rush when it happend.

I can do something you guys cant finally!

Burn out through 3rd gear :D

yup and as you are burning away, we are pulling away. but yes your car can do that and ours can't.

yup launching a vr4/rt tt is fun when it's done just right. i've gotten a couple of sreams out of passengers. i've never done a launch in the wet, hell i've rarely driven the stealth in rain or snow, but i did, and one too many times.

I can do something you guys cant finally!

Burn out through 3rd gear :D

...And run a 16.7 @92mph:loser:

just had to say, everyone who is bored should check out www.failblog.org

its a good time lol,

^been there, done that, lost 5 hours of my life, lol. worth it though.

so who else if getting reeeeaaaally F***ed up tomarrow night?

not me, my grandfather had a heart attack and can't be left alone, i'm the only one with no life in the family and i'm staying with him. couldn't be better, i'm stopping at the lamborghini dealer and lotus dealer on the way down. and he's pretty cool, for being 88 and ww2 vet. and i get to deny kids candy too....*evil little laugh, and rubs hands together in a sinical matter

Ha yeah blink I still have some hydros from getting my wisd teeth out last week!

So I test drove 95 TT with a co-worker today. It was at a local dealership so I figured it would be legit. Well it had a horrible misfire as soon as you hit full boost, and it started to overheat severely when we got back. It was weird because it didnt feel very hot under the hood. I was sad when this stuff happened...sad to see a very clean 3/S in this mechanical condition. They are gonna attempt to fix it and let us know how it goes so we are hoping for the best. Its 95 for $6500 with 119k miles, so it doesnt seem like a bad price....if it works. I'm thinking this one may be staying at the dealer though.

^been there, done that, lost 5 hours of my life, lol. worth it though.

I have no clue. I've kinda been ordered to go out tomorrow but I dont know. I'll probably be somewhat miserable if I do go out. :/

Im going out, yet have scuba certification early saturday morning and sunday also, could be troublesome, oh well though.

Now I know I am NOT going out. Had to drive to work with the window down 3 inches in 35* temps.

I put the window down to knock ice off and it stopped 3" from the top. Neither window will go down and the power door lock switch on the drivers side wont work so it looks like it will be a switch issue.

I hate this fucking car.

I may go out for a little while, but that is it. I am getting up early to go riding agian tomorrow. The VR4 will be in the garage all day today but there is not room for the SL so I may have to just sleep in it tonight in order to catch any young trickster trying to mess with it. Which would be funny since with my tinit you cannot see anything inside the car.

i work at a deli, we got a shitload of cops coming in and getting coffee and candy so they can stay awake all night. passed one of em on the way home last night, he looked passed out behind the wheel. no lights on, so i'm thinking it was break time.

what you should've done(sl) put a car cover over the sl3k and tied it underneath really well, and kids trying to egg it, would just get annoyed of trying to remove the cover and leave...or egg the house

up in NY i didnt have a garage, so i used to just pull mine into the back yard.

pour water around the car and run an electric current through it. That ought to stop somebody.

so how is everyone else's football teams doing?

mine are both in last, bengals with a start of 0-7(possibly 0-8 this sunday) and the eagles are last but 4-3(nfc east, toughest conferance) with the cowboys, giants, and redskins.

Haha nice. Nad, I decided for the SL I would put it at a safe place at a friend's house. So now both of my 3000GT's are safe. :D

Rams are 2-6 or something like that and the Saints are decent at 4-4 I think... But I am still convinced that Tennessee will be winning it all.

or it'll end the same way as a few years ago for them, 1 yard short of winning the superbowl...that was perhaps one of the greatest plays that created no success. they'll probably do really well, or again end up like the chicago cubs, do really well and loose it in the playoffs after giving so much hope to their fans. just jking.

i'm happy though, the bengals aren't last in the NFL anymore, detroit is. they can't seem to get a break, worst NFL team, and what worst city to live in in the USA. at least the tigers are ok. and now the eagles have a better record then the cowboys too after thier win and dallas' lost

Mark my word. Tennessee wont even be in the Superbowl.

Hey guys and girls, it's been awhile. Thought I'd drop by. Just wanted to give a quick update on my life. Well as many of you know I worked my ass off for the last 2 years at a specific company, got to the sales manager position, was demoted, quit, was recruited back, got promoted to sales manager again, etc. Well the last 6 months have been insane. I finally got promoted to GM. Was finally set, pulling in just shy of 6 figures at 25yo and happy.

Met a new girl, got rid of the insane ex with all the emotional drama, moved my mom into an elegant retirement home, bought the house from her, got a 2nd car as a beater, life was looking good. I even started playing poker online again on the side and with the money that I could afford to gamble with now, I was making REALLY REALLY nice bank off that as well. When that incident I was pulled over for last year, finally went to court, I could afford a nice lawyer and only lost my license for a short period of time (already got it back). So what can I say, life was good. I was working 90 hours a week, but I had little room to complain.

Well obviously it couldn't all last :grinno: I recently left the company. I started butting heads with my superior (the previous ****head, who I had left the company after fighting with before). Long story short, after a couple weeks of very serious arguments, calls to HR, etc. We parted ways. So now I'm not living as comfortably, but I'm also not working 90 hours a week and have had time to relax and enjoy life.

The vr4 is still off the road, but runs just fine and should be back up soon. The new girl is awesome, we've moved in together and even adopted a pitbull puppy last week which I have been meaning to do for quite some time now. I'm playing poker again full time, which as some of you may remember, has it's ups and downs, but it's remaining profitable enough to pay the bills and mortgage, so I can't complain too much. All in all, I'm in alot better state emotionally, financially, everything really than I have been in years. I honestly wish I could say I'll be back on here more, but I don't want to lie. When I'm online I usually have half a dozen poker tables going at once, and other than that, I'm rarely on. I know I haven't been on AIM in months either, but I hope all is well with all of you.

Nice to here from you Geoff. It's been a long time! Make sure and drop in from time to time and give us an update.

Good to hear things are a little better for you Vert. I hope things continue to get better, and we will hear from you again soon hopefully.

As far as the election goes, I am sad. If Gore would have been president I would have been upset, if Kerry, I would have wished it wasn't so, but Obama leaves me sad. A man who removes the American flag from his plane for what it stands for (which is was). And a man who won't hold his heart to the National Anthem because it means war (does he know if it wasn't for our war we would not be the United States?). In all honesty, not only does his spending plan seem unamerican but so does his morals having never been through what others have died for in the worse ways possible so that our flag can be what it is today. In all honesty, I hope he leaves office...regardless of how it happens. This is a sad day in America.

I agree with SL, and when I talk to a lot of the people my age up here they ask why I am against Obama. Sometimes I wonder if these people even followed the campaigns at all, I swear they hear one thing they like and they decide Obama is the best person ever...its pretty sad really
