Dude you nailed it on the nose. Thats all that it is, its just a game. We do it because its an adventure. Why is there so many people that have to make this into a freakin pissin match. Why? just go out there, keep your mouth shut, make the best run you can, and if you lose so what. and if you win, just say "good run man" and thats it. keep the bull$h*t to youself.

 

Wow nice kills and where i live in iowa they always say "There is no replacement for displacement Josh" and after reading that i need to go change my boxers i just creamed myself.

 

Thanks man, there changing that statement to theres no replacement for booooost!! Everyone in the know is going turbo's and leaving the nos in the bottle or useing it to spool a giant snail! I will still get picts some day the car is in the body shop to get painted now. And i will post a buddies 240 sx ls 98 mil turbo street car, drag radial car its looking real tough!

 

sweet story!

 

Thanks, I blew up the computer and have been off for awhile, damn computer and rx7's do this **** when you domt expect it. The car will be repainted by sept and i will try to get picts up. Thanks again.

 

LESS DISPLACEMENT THAN YOUR HONDA BUT MORE POWER THAN YOUR V8!!!That should be the new slogan for 7's..Nice run's man it wouldve been better if I was there hahaha

 

Bump;

 

How did i miss this thread? Awesome kills! There is a place like that in Indy but i have yet to get any races there. Next year. Do you go out on your et streets?

 

Yes i drive to the track round trip about 50 miles, and in the city becouse its dangerous if i dont the car wants to go sideways on the cith streets. Plus i only drive it in dry weather as im sure you know why. I bumpted the thread to show the vid of 1.52 launch on stock fly wheel for a guy in the single section to watch. Since im not good at posting picts and vids! Hows the car comming?

 

I drive to and from the track on them, but if i'm just going out and cruising, i put on the street tires, but then i can't do any dig racing. Next year, i'll make it out more on them.

 

I go to school near you, at Ozark Christian College in Joplin. Just so happens my stepdad was there when you won... He has a cuda, and hangs with his little Cuda buddies quite often. I think the guy that owns the purple ones name is Ed. Never the less, it was nice to hear him say that he saw a car like mine beat a car like his... .

 

Thats great to hear its a small world, i was kidded about racing that night by everyone. There was over a 100 people watching at about 2:00 am and each one had something nice to say. Well except a couple of losers! Good to hear from you!

 

Wow, this is just how I feel--except I've have a handful of cars which were not very fast. Mind if I quote you on this? I hope I'm 1/2 as cool as you are in 30 years! (I'm 28 yrs old ) I wish more people had the same attitude as you do about racing and fast cars and all of that. I think that ego gets in the way all the time. That makes racing less fun, sometimes no one even has the manners to give you a look on the street... until they realize what they're playing with Oh well. Keep it up, your car is bad@$$

 

Thanks for the complement! I truly enjoy my rx7 even when breaks my heart. Too many people my age are hooked on being dull, but ive been married 3 times have two grown daughters had 6 heart attacks and many other health problems to many to list and have had more and been more places than the average person. Ive been self imployed for 30 years and made millions but i enjoy being one of the kids in the car scene. Most of my friends are 20/40 years old and i love the way that i have been accepted. I really like the way most of the pro import racers are willing to help there competitors the way we should help each other . Any way thanks again a good luck!

 

bump:

 

holy crap man, if ur such a badass at 58 i'd hate to see u in ur younger days. good to see someone older with such a nice set up. that vid was great. i know how it is to get crap from domestic car guys, my dad has 2 chevelles (that would smoke the **** out of my car) and a lot of other guys around here are into domestics. i respect v8s but i'll stick to my imports

 

okay you said 11.5 and 9s ngk just where did you put these 9 ngk plugs and why is the car running so rich.

 

Actully i run 10.5 leading and 9 tralling and steve kan tunned it at 10.5 afr and i run 93 pump at 20.2 psi. I also have s4 8.5 rotors so its tunned rich for a little saftey. Im sorry if you guys are tired of me bumping the thread but a friend on here wanted to know were to see the run so i bumped it. Thanks.

 

Charlie I have questions:

do you preload?

are you gonna be at the March tunning session?

I want to check your car out again.

 

Gohan give me a pm if you want any answers i would like to talk to you any way.

 

Hey, hit me up I'm only 30 mins away from Joplin in Pittsburg,Ks.

 

I am in O'Fallon, MO right now for break. The FD usually stays here since at Ozark, I have to live on campus and there is no garaging. Is there any nice car spots up there anywhere?

 

What you mean about car spot? Is it as in hang out spot? I guess I'll see you at Mo-Kan.

 

Yes, like spots where anyone meets up in the area...

 

I was told they meet in downtown Joplin and race around 1:00 a.m. on Saturday. I just race at the track so you won't see me ever being there.
