sad day for dsm's

[blk_srt]

well, i was looking for something to do today and i called up one of my friends and he was telling me about a race that was going oooon. so i drive out there and find out its a 98 eclipse gs vs a 91 escort gt. the escort has an intake and a rebuilt tranny and new clutch(thanks to me) and the eclipse has a full exhaust and an intake. sadly enough the first race the escort took it by 3 cars and the second race the scort had it by a nose. at the begining of the race the guy in the eclipse was talking shit and after the race the guy in the escort was talking shit, and go figure, neither one would line up with me. in a funny turn of events, the guy driving the escort was doing some laps around the one ways in town and ended up getting pulled over for doing like 45 in a 30 lol

the guy in the gs should have known that he was probably not gonna beat the escort gt. even though it's a FORD, and secondly an ESCORT, the 420a usually can't take many gt cars, if any at that.

sad

very....

Dosn't sound like much of a race to me. A GS vs. escort. Whoopte.

Would have been nice to watch you line up and do circles around both cars put together.

Everybody around here hears my turbo and thinks that automatically makes my car super fast or something. the only thing that will line up with me anymore is someone that doesnt care if he looses or an occasional v8

I used to have an escort. Just because it says GT doesn't mean it's fast. It just means it's a bonafide piece of crap with a 2.0 engine in it. It's sad, extremely sad that guy lost to an escort. I had one and that thing was freaking slow. big time and I had the sporty zx2 or whatever the hell it is.

doesn't sound like a true DSM to me anyway...

RS GS SUCKS ASS! sometimes i just want to blow my car up because its soo worthless for racing. =\

hey now. Don't bash the NT's to much. I like how everyone assumes that the NT's are the slowest cars on earth. Which is probably true in almost ALL cases, but... I have a turbo and nobody knows it that is until they try to race me. I think I like having a sleeper. It's still not that fast but I've cut down a few unsuspecting cars. When my car was still NT I raced a beat up crappy dodge durango with the spare on. The Durango had me by at least a car length when we hit the next light. also, my 1987 honda accord with 210K whooped the eclipse. Does any one know how fast a nt all motor has been?

lol, I know exactly what you're talking about. The BOV and the spooling whine/whistle makes everybody dish out some mad respect for your car, but it's pretty embarassing to lose to a slower car because you have enough boost leak to fill up a weather balloon. Been there, done that

Shyper wtf is wrong with your car now?

Give us updates man! (In another thread obviously )

Sigh, too much to list bro. They took out the old 7-bolt a week ago and discovered that my practically new T-28 blew along with the engine, and my clutch was somehow fired to crap, with burn marks all over it. To top it all, the port job on the race motor was so big, the 2G intake mani runners are literally half the volume, so I need to get a bigger 1G TB and a ported 1G mani. Blah.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I will post one up once the car is running, hopefully some time before the end of this century. lol.

(MHI EvoIII 16G and 63mm race TB in the mail though )

since you have a turbo how much you think your HP is pushing out around?

I'm trying to get some time on a dyno, It's going to cost a bit but I think everyone is curious. As soon as I get it done I'll definatly let you all know the results.
