Holy club project! And I remember when we got to take apart an 82' Chevy in Auto shop we thought we were hardcore...

 

Ok, not that we need the help or anything but any of you guys from Tech need parts i can get most anything at cost. Just let me know what you need. I don't care what those other schools bring to the tracks I know we can take them. If they get a project car does that mean we get to use the Formula 1 car. Just an idea.

 

haha, you wouldn't let my Passat worry you? Just playin. I know your 50/50 is hard to beat any day. I will ask my Dad what he ran in the S2.. but that was a long time ago. I look forward to our clubs getting together.

 

The posting about street/track times has kinda died down a bit but some of you make sense others dont. When you go to the track you want the best time. When I go tot he track I run more boost of course and I run slicks. If I go to race you on the street I will have drag radials and likley some more boost and the c16 to go along with it so I dont detonate. I know some of you are very unfamiliar with the sanctioing bodies of import racing so you dont really understand totally what a street car is. Check out NDRA's site IDRC or IMSTAR or Battle of the Imports. When you got to the track prep your car to go faster think about it. Why do you add parts to ur car to begin with, to go faster right. I would much rather throw slicks on my car and run my car and be hauling ass down the track then to be loosing traction and hitting the wall.

You see we are just disagreeing about the end time slip that is important to us. I understand that you want the no holds barred best time you can get, if that means running hi oct gas/slicks/weight reduction that you don't have everyday then that is fine for you. I want to look at my car every morning and know that exactly as it sits it runs a 12.X. I am not interested in how fast the car could go, I want to know how fast it is. Just a difference of opinion which we are not going to agree on. -Ian

 

i think it comes down the where you want to race, if racing on the street is important to you, then i agree with ian. it is completely pointless to slick/boost/spray/weight reduce/octane increase your car at the track to get a 13.50 then go out the next night with your normal low 14's setup and challenge an LS1 camaro at a stoplight...

but, i think racing at the track is a lot more fun, so my car is built accordingly.

Exactly...If I am racing you on the street, Ill have drag radials an maybe a little extra boost that I dont always use just going to the store. If I am racing you at the track I will have c16 in my tank, slicks on, and dropped exhaust. Thats just my opinion. If I wanted to I could go to the track and run radials and run 12's but I would rather run slicks, its a lot faster and more fun, isnt that what its all about.

Excellent, i want to race you...but before i do i want to be able to install my turbo and N20 setup...i also want to be able to install my 14" drag rims and radials and strip my car and drop my exhaust.

Dude, from the pics i have seen, you run 175 width tires with steelies on the street. If you're going to race someone on the street you should run those tires and wheels too. people on this board street race () with the tires and rims they run everyday, you should too.

Rguy, who think street racing is about as dumb as fucking ur sister.

 

You are fucking stupid as shit. Drag radials last about 6000 miles for me. I cant afford to run them everyday. Not to mention they get fucked up like shit in the salt and shit on the roads from snow. You are totally out of line saying I should race people on the street with steelies. Any other time of the year I would have them on my car. I will race with the steelies tho if it means that much to you, you wanna race I will give you 5 cars and the break on steelies, you name the wager. Dont talk shit. If it means that much to you I will put my drag radials on now, so that will be what my car is on the street. My car is a daily driver, I have the steelies on it to get around, if I am to have a setup race with someone I am gonna use my drag radials. Wheels and tires are quite a bit different then NX and a turbo kit. Not to mention you dont have those..I have the Wheels. Some of you all are just some jealous motherfuckers.
