Sorry for the cross post, but it wasn't my post and I thought it should be posted here too.

Get someone from Home Made Turbo out there!! They got some disgustingly FAST cars!! Or yea I know a guy with a 500hp Talon that should race... But he'll probably blow soemthing up cuz he always does!

Doesn't it not really matter about speed really? Isn't it more about who can con the other or lie the best or whatever? But I'm sure the speed helps.

I hate that show. You run the race you win. Then you have to race the ******* again but give him like 5 car lengths, oh and then yoo probably will have to run him again.

I love the one when the one car gets destroyed. Wow I won that?!?!?! should only take 10-20k to fix. No bigie

Yea a bit too much drama... People ******* it on the first couple of runs and then on the last run they pull out ALL the HP to take the other's car... Too much ego in one place. But yea it's all about who can bullshit the best

cambo

man my friend should run his srt4 haha...hes only ran it once an it ran low 12's..no boost control..but im sure the engine will blow up after the first run..jdm > usdm

rspunk96

like my friend always says..."you cant spell Disappointment without DSM" which is very true...DSM's break down alot but are damn fast....

rspunk96

excuse me let me rephrase that...they can be fast for cheap...

1st gen DSM can run 12's for less than a grand...

rotary_sex

ive always wanted a dsm for that fact but ur spending a grand every 6 months in maintenance. lol

Pinks is a retarded show. It would be alot better if it was straight up racing, none of this '3 car lengths blah blah blah' bullshit. If youre car isnt fast enough to win, then you dont win. End of story.

DSM's are good cars if you get a 1st gen, or put the 6 bolt engine into the second gen, and manage to NOT blow your transmission apart (refering to awd).

If you want real ghetto speed, get an FB, strip it clean, tub it, put some wide *** drag slicks under it, and drop a mildly built 302 or 350 into it. You can pick up the engine for less than 500, rebuild it with some forged pistons/rods, do a mild port and a decent street spec cam, header with full free flow dual 3", and a 150 shot of nitrous, then take your 500+hp 1900lb car with slicks, and toast the **** out of everyone.

That car could probably be built for 5-6k, but you have to make it ugly. Real ugly. Man that would be hilarious.

real racers won't even show up to an event like that. because they know it's complete and total BS. drag racers that run regular weekends are not going to risk a car they've poured their heart and countless $$ into just to get screwed in a show of guys/buddies that go around collecting cars by cheating people out of them. guys that have fast and consistent(the real key) ET drag cars won't show, thier car can win them money if they have a good weekend at a big race.... which is still a lot better than a wrecked or blown up POS if they 'd happen to win.

it's great is you have a low dollar go fast ride you don't care about at all, might have put together from junk parts and could care less if it gets lost. heck if you win, you might get a cool ride, but chances are... it's something you don't want anyways.

yeah to bad the mechanic for that fcs a ****** ********. i met him at formula d and wish i hadent.

z-beater

I was talking with Brian at horsepower connection today and he mentioned that he was building one of the cars for the show. The car is a customers car but He is the builder. I can assure you that the car will not be a 12sec DSM. If anyone knows Brian they will also know that he runs a sub 8.4 in the quarter with his non-tubular Nova that weighs over 3k lbs. It will be a great race.

fc3s.org

Really? Did I do or say something to you in particular which makes me a ******* ********? Which Formula D? If you are talking about the most recent one in Seattle, refresh my memory. I talked to alot of people there around Calvin's FD and I had a pretty good damn time. Matter of fact I didn't even get to eat dinner in the pit because I was talking to some local FD guys who had some questions. Don't remember being a ******* ******** to anyone. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I did it wasn't intentional. Wait, wait wait...Were you the guy with the rotary tattoo that asked Calvin how big the port was on his FD? Then said something about porting your exhaust ports all huge or something and I said it kills the torque to do that and you insisted it has plenty of torque due to the stock turbo or something?

Hyper4mance2k

LOL! I was the guy with the huge ports. And my car runs great. Plenty of tq. AND Not cause of the stock turbo LOL! I said it spooled the S5 turbo quickly and I get 8psi by 2k... that's all... My ports aren't nuts, just nice and fun for my first port job. I bought the rotor housings and found they were stamped form a shop with an amazing rep with a "street port" and they were garbage. The trailing edge of the exhaust port wasn't even straight and to top it off it had no bevel for the apex seal. I feel bad for people who pay big dollars for engines that have shitty 20 minute port jobs... http://www.nopistons.com/forums/inde...howtopic=63787 Not saying I know you but you just kinda brushed me off and didn't even hear what I was sayin. So you know I'm not some wanna be racer bitch. I did my first engine swap in 1992 and rebuilt my first carb in 1994. I was concieved in motor oil. I had a n/a stock port FB getting 1.9 60ft's on 185/60-13's and running a 14.6. I know it's not fast but that was carbed on shitty tires stock port.

*note: 8psi@2k= enough tq... it's overlap that kills tq. there are a milion different ways to tune an engine, and 10 billion ways to port tune.

rotary_sex

mabey my statement was a little exaggerated. you werent a ********. you just didnt seem to give the time of day to a few fellow rotorheads. reminded me of talking to a mustang owner. i really like your work and was hoping by approaching you to talk rotary that you would be a little less "cocky" almost in mid sentence you just walked away. lol I was the guy with the rotary tatoo on my arm. adrian is the guy with the s5 blowthough FB. anyway if your at pinks good luck.

fc3s.org

Just goes to show you how tired I was. I thought you two were the same person! That isn't huge exhaust porting! That is good exhaust porting LOL. When you were describing it, you didn't mention anything else done to it, just the exhaust porting. So all I thought in my head was "just a huge exhaust port?" When I think back, I did kinda cut our BS session short because I was dying of thirst, needed food, had to pack up the rigs, and was completely exhausted from the day. When you get drunk off your *** the night before, then you go to the track ALL day you get worn down. If you ask the other dozen dudes or so I talked to that day I would bet they didn't think that way, but then again I was alot fresher towards the beginning of the day

Anyway, if I gave that impression, it wasn't my meaning. If we get to meet again, we'll have a better bs session and talk some damn rotaries, cool? Do you believe someone asked me that day if Calvins FD had an LS1 in it??

Rich asked us to go on Pinks again, but he always asks us like a week or two before it happens, and we have to have more notice than that. I think we might do the "streetcar shootout" thing in TX or something. Not sure on the details yet though, but it is in a few months.

Hyper4mance2k

Damn there were way too many LS1 cars there. It's cool, but at the same time why bother with an import if you're just going to drop an LS1 in it? Didn't the white FD have an LS1 in it? Next event maybe you'll get to see the uber poor man budget blow through FB I built. What ever happened to the Falkin FD with the SR20DET? I hope it blew up. That'd be a testament to rotary greatness. What did you do with the pink civic? It seems to be the wholy grail of the Honda world. I think they forgot it lost... Anyways hope to see you when you're not burnt out.
