Man.. this makes me want a sr'ed 240!

i'm sorry mynismo but i refuse to believe witht eh little mods you have to even though 250whp. 230 is believable tuned. and maybe if the guy is really good you can almost hit 240. but 250 is not goin to happen. when you show me the dyno sheet i will shut up. but until then i refuse to believe it.

[mynismo]

thats fine man, you could be right. but its somewhere between 230-250. i hooked up my test pipe yesterday and i've never felt my car feel like it does right now. its pulling soo good right now at 11psi.

i just raced a 90-91 irocz. i started messing with him through the road, we had a run and i misshifted but i still kept with him.

we pulled up to a redlight, and he stopped in the gas station. he was turning on his nos. ROFL.

he pulled back up after the light changed, went from a 20mph roll. he stayed with me all the way through second but once i hit third i went up about 5 car lengths. his nos musta worn out lol. asked him and found out it was a 50 shot.

funny thing is, i had three other people in the car too


i had to cancel dyno today because im leaking clutch fluid and my struts are still screwed up, but ill probably reschedule sometime for next week when everything's running good.

its ok, we know your just jellous of the sr's

good run its cool to see something different being fast rather than the same old sh...t feel me

[mynismo]

i hear ya. im a big fan of different stuff being fast. there's a dodge colt near us on the street that runs 11's....... sick!!!!!!!!!

[Igovert500]

I'd agree, it's nice to see some sleepers or different setups every once in awhile. A guy near me has 2 490+hp old school eagle talons. No paint or nothing, just black primer on them. They look horrendous, but he rapes almost everyone who is dumb enough to line up with him.

[xAUTOxRACERx]

That is how I like it. Having a sleeper is truly fun especially when you come across someone that has a clean setup and looks at your car thinking he is going to win lose to a car that basically looks stock or beat up is too funny!

hahah good run mynismo, trust me i do not under estimate shit boxes. i always have this feeling that they are somewhat fast or have something up their sleeves. i mean why else would their cars look that and try to race? my car is sorta like htat too. i have this fucked up cracked and dented hood ( some ass hole backed into me when he was tryin to pull out of a parking spot ) i have a stretched bumper ( from the front mount intercooler ) and cracks in the paint on the bumper ( from the time the car rolled down my street ) and i never bothered to fix it because with the money i spend on that, i could make my car much faster ( which is waaay more important )

[mynismo]

my car looks like a piece...





until i get the paint. the fmic kinda gives me away

[TatII]

love your sil 80. the intercooler is definitly a dead give away. also there are plenty of primered 240's in nyc that are SR powered. hahah its almost like a sign or a code.

[flylwsi]

WTF is sticking off your bumper mark?

[xAUTOxRACERx]

Nice! Are you going to paint it black or some other color?
