What should I check before I break my car to the drags?

There will be a lot of girls next week to see my FD on the quartermile. I don't want them to finish in a SRT-4 or a Civic... I need to give good impression.

What should I check to be sure the FD won't break? I drive the car hard like non-sense in the streets, I'm not scared about the mechanic.

I will be with 205-55-16 gay tires (not mature enough to buy bigger ones )

I changed the differential bushings for unobtainium ones 3 months ago.

Thanks!

Ok I got out my decoder ring and I think what you're saying is this:

You need to win at the drag strip next week to impress all the ladies so they don't finish (orgasm) in a civic or SRT-4

You drive like a pro race driver on the streets and you're not scared about the mechanic. I got that part, that makes complete sense.

Ok so according to my decoder ring you don't want your car to break at the track, well you failed to provide us with any information which we'd be able to use to aid you... What mods do you have done to the car, how much power are you making... have your 205's aged (matured) enough to be taken to the track?

BTW what program did you use to translate your post... because it sucks!

wow, i thought new englanders were supposed to love canadians..... joking dude, but good point about the post, there is about as much usable info in the op's post as there are diamonds in a pile of bullsh*t

And OP, try google language tools, it works much better than babblefish.

If you're relying on your car to get you girls than you fail. Bottom line. Especially if the pinnacle of your desires are drag strip ******....

But anyway, I should think that the biggest thing you're likely to mess up is your rear end, or your transmission if you can't shift. I hope there aren't any legitimately fast SRT-4's or Civics there, else you'e probably going to get embarrased, lol. Best bet is to make sure everything is braced properly, then gtfo the drag strip, and take your car to a road course, like it's meant to be driven.

What is your second language? Because dipshit is not recognized as an actual language.

Maybe you can communicate with this guy...

Yes that's what I'm thinking! I wonder if the grip is much different from the streets...

LOL, I'm a french guy.


You guys are funny. It was a joke, I won't go there to impress girls, but I really don't want to get back home on the towing like many does.

this was a great game back in the 80's lol. It had a working clutch pedal and I remember you could stall and even over rev the motor.

Why do people come into the drag section telling people not to drag their cars? It's not like we barge into the RR section telling them not to turn. WTF?!?!?

P.S. if you really don't want to break your car, do two things:

1) Don't modify it.
2) Don't drive the **** out of it.

Pretty much everyone in this section violates these rules, so good luck at the races.

The nathans arcade was right near my house so I would play there for a quarter. Ant, if you ever saw this game it was a regular arcade game with a small bench seat attached and pedals.. There is no way Roan would fit in there.

You don't think Roan would fit in there?

I'm no drag racer, but you want to run 12's with 205's? lol, good luck chief.

I definitely think at a minimum Roan's right leg would fit in there so at least he can slam down on the 'go' pedal
