UH OH.

Looks like it's time for a trip to the blood bank. ;)

why is it i have to defend myself for ACTUALLY going to this event, i can handle whatever you throw at me, i just don't like immature a-holes throwing out comments when they have no idea what they are talking about.......as for me, the car, my team, and my sponsors we are all class acts, so f you if you think i have a bad attitude towards some people on here....

I didn't know I have abilities... :D

Play nice now Jim... :)

Since when have I ever played nice? :D

Seems to me, that people are just attacking the guy rather than actually giving him criticism. There's a difference.

Seems to me that people were just bemoaning the fact that the rotary didn't do so well in the competition and weren't necessarily attacking him. There's a difference.

You did a great job jason, especially given the circumstances. I of all people know how long and how hard you worked and how much cash you poured into the car. I supported you as best I could (and as best as I was 'allowed' to, lol).

Look at it this way......you finished, it's over, your car still has six good apex seals (thank God for water injection) and we both know you don't give a sh!t about what 99.9% of this forum thinks anyway. Now go pack a lipper, pound a beer, and shoot a round of golf :)

Just read the article. Interesting on what they had to say about the car though. Car show guys think there were some *hazardous* stuff/installation. Guru guys said lots of neat stuff, blah blah blah. It did say that I'm a crazy driver in two separate occasions. (funny that I wasn't even really trying my best since the car would allow me to).

See, I told you that your a crazy driver.....you just didnt believe me haha

I think anyone thats had to drive behind you can attest to this lol

Well, all I can say is at least you guys tried. Its amazing that you got the car together and actually running in 2 months.

Better luck next year

I haven't read the article, but I if I recall the fuel pumps looked kind of dangerous if I remember where they were mounted.
Somebody post the article already!

fuel pumps are inside the fuel tank. You must be thinking of the fuel filters?? I don't see it would be anymore danger than where the stock location would be.

It doesnt matter if he won or not. If you all saw his car you would be entirely...and i mean entirely..JEALOUS. It is a beauty. The craftsmanship is excellent and it is even tastefully done. I have no doubt that with proper time it could have dominated all performance categories. It would never win the giant graphic and huge ass wing category. Nor would...as an fd guy...want it to.

so on that note...it was cool to see that a ten year old car is still being pimped in the mags...whether the car was done or not...


Jason

Really? Me too??

Just for the record, what does the condition of his car have to do with anything?

er... i think he was just saying that the car looked good.
hmmm..... is that okay with you sir?? since you own this thread and all.. shit, u act like you own this FORUM

Uh oh.......... Jedi senses Forum seismic activity.

It's rumbling.

Let's see if Artguy has a reasonable rebuttal.

well.. someone had to say it

I'm definitely impressed by Jimlab's vast knowledge of FDs and such and I am happy that we have a board member with that knowledge.... BUT, the condescending, "I have a rx7-encyclopedia as a brain so PLEASE don't test me" attitude is getting old.

Just relax and take a deep breathe before you answer our questions~

just take it easy on yourself Jim

he's on menopause mode. what'd ya expect? ;)

Um, no. What he said was that the car was so nice that it didn't matter if he won or not, because everyone would be jealous if they saw it in person. Did you even read the post, or were you in such a hurry to try to show me up that you sort of skipped that part?

Bottom line, it makes absolutely no sense what-so-fucking-ever. What in the hell does the appearance of the car have to do with discussing the car's performance in the contest? It's like saying you can't discuss the bad weather you're having because the sky is probably blue somewhere else.

No, hence my post. You're not particularly bright, are you.

Perhaps not, but I can assure you that I'll own your ass if you keep this self-righteous bullshit up.

Oh God, I'm shaking with fear... :rlaugh:

Wow, that was... intelligent. :rolleyes:

thanks! :bigthumb:

hahahaha.
yeah doesnt matter how the car look if it doens't run right.

sure the contest factors in some looks points but not much.

everyone always rides jim i find it amussing just so i can see what he has to say back :).

concidering i was 11 when the fd came out and hes probly been with the fd since and has done everythign you can do ot them. i would trust what he says and not care if he has the ( I have a rx7-encyclopedia as a brain so PLEASE don't test me" attitude) he's still valable asset.

even will some of his snide remakrs you can fine some truth to his word and wisdom.

also to bad the car didn't fair better:( maybe next year

joel

Jim, you have already uncovered the truth about this competition -- it is the "Sport Compact Car Totally Biased Ultimate California Street Car Challenge". The performance tests are just a front; it's really pimp factor that counts.

-Max

I think that I did pretty well in the performance catagory since Most of these guys have local professional drivers running their car and it was my first time at those tracks (with the exception of Palmdale). I think if the car would corner better and stop better (no check valve for the brake booster). I would have gotten closer to the top in performance (at least in road racing). I probably lost at least 2 secs per lap because of the brakes.
