Re: i have 2 things i need to know

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
If you really want to jump your car... depending on where you live, I'd say, hit a sharp mound on a dirt road at 50-60+ and f*cking hold on, then you better know what you're doing when you land... LMFAO

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
yeha once you lose traction its hard to get it back after a jump, as for the mount how many have you been through , you sure your fitting it right, dont see why you would be eating mounts unless your running major power

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
I used to jump my 83 accord dx.... got about 3 feet of air... i found a dirt road with some awsome drops and i would just sail off the top... gotta check out your landing before you go tho or youll really mess up your suspension.... gthe best landind is on a downward slope or the landing will eff it all up

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
fu<k the front mount...its useless anyway...they always go bad. You don't even need it. It's not going to stop the motor from being looser than it already is. I've never run with one.

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
lets see here.. .cars I'v got off the ground. First car I ever got off the ground was a 95 ford escort.. got it about 4 feet off the ground and bent the frame. Got a 96 buick regal about 6 inches and messed up the alignment/toe on the front. Accidently got the back end of the 88 hatch off the ground about a foot, didnt break anything that I know of yet.

Re: i have 2 things i need to know
My old rally beater 87 tercel hatch that I sold my nephew for 3 bills was used by him to launch off a tiered yard hooked to a chain to the back of a jeep and sored the thing over peoples head 6ft+ in the air... still ran for awhile after that too. I've only gotten about 1ft off the ground rallying my car. Try drifting on dirt roads first so you can know what to do regaining control of the car before you start jumping shit and trying to figure out your going to avoid trees.

Fuck being polite, cut this shit out. You wanna jumpo, buy a peugeot xr or better? (I've launched an xr at 140 over s speed hump about 1ft or so up.) is this a "look at me Im badass post" or are you inbred?
