[jew_boy]

nice

[AV8ter]

I saw you there yesterday, your car was looking great. I was in my white Teg, I shoulda said hi. Weren't the parade laps supposedly 60mph? The guy in the Mazda 3 was going all out, and we were hitting 100 at one point in the lap.

What was you autox time?

[Mr. Clean]

my best time was like 30.13 or something... not very good... but yeah i got up to about 100 on the back straight on the first day during parade laps. me and kevin (whiterice) were hauling pretty decent ballz a couple of times. me and jdmjoe got a ride in one of the pace car porches during the hot laps today like right before they stopped... it was efffffiiiiinnnggg ridiculous!!!! were going like 60-70 through the s turns and ****, i think i saw his speedo hit 130-ish on the back straight. man it was bad. the brakes were fvcking neck snapping... they were by far the most impressive part, those things will literally stop on a dime.

but yeah i think i saw your teggy... white with meshies?... pretty clean. i saw you riding all over the place like you were lost too haha

[Frög]

nice, thats one clean sol!!

[Thighs]

sorry bout the thread whoring. lol

on my second run i said **** my tires and drifted all 3 laps lol. then the guy in the white miata with coilovers and a 1.8 went out and spun 3 times on one lap trying to drift. lol

it was alotttt of fun scaring my girlfriend though. lol

[Mr. Clean]

haha yeah i saw the white miata spin once when i was getting my stuff together, but that thing is ridiculous... i love it. it looked so sick going around the track.

[Thighs]

i cant get the quote thing to work...

yeah, his car looks great but he really doesnt know how to drive it. ive heard him talk about drifting and stuff before and i thought he would be at LEAST decent.

[AV8ter]

Yeah haha. I was pissed when I realized sat was a domestic only day. I got stuck behind one bandit-a-like Trans AMs for my laps, he was on it all the way, and I could have still passed him in my stock LS in the corners, and for most of the straights. I am definitely going next year.

Your car is so tight. I am about to sell my Festiva and either get a Sol or a Miata, but it will probably be a Miata since I already got the teg and I want to venture into rwd a bit.

The stance on your car is so nice. You still on the stock engine? Plans for a swap? Kevin's EG has a LS in it right?

Kevin

[Mr. Clean]

yeah kevin is rockin LS... his **** is quicker than mine by a good bit... it sucks haha.

but mine is alllllll factory '96 VTEC. i have coilover sleeves, wheels and thats it... and thats all i want to do... i want to keep the motor as clean and stock as possible... its so smooth and quiet right now and its fun to drive. thanks for the compliments on it. yeah if you go next year... you HAVE to get in on a porche ride.

[AV8ter]

You see the turbo teal teg? I think that was the only other nice honda out there. Were there a lot better imports there today? I wish I went today................


Kevin

[puregroove]

track times... awesome. That's how it's done. :yes:

Kevin

yeah that integra was reaaalllly clean. it was really random for that show though haha

[EJ25RUN]

when was this, i thought they had year one going on?

[AV8ter]

It was Fri, Sat, Sun. It was such a cool event because it was really laid back. You know what that teg was running?

Someone said it was a boosted K24. I dunno, but if it is Boosted K that is sweet!!!

[The BUCKY]

my roommate was there in his truck. i think we was turning low 27s on the track

[cwhiteboy]

The black Dodge R/T. He did pretty good. I'm in the red crx in the first picture :D. If anyone has anymore pictures of my car, I would appreciate them very much. My best time was 26.73. Very happy with that :goodjob:. Was a fun event, especially for a muscle car event (as in me being the only honda within a 30 mile radius on Friday). Almost everyone I met was really cool.

yea that was him. i think he finishd second for the domestics. not bad for cheap tires and lowering blocks in the rear. he says next yr he will win it. :goodjob:

[cwhiteboy]

He would have had it, but a Z06 showed up at the last second and took the win. Unfortunately for us import guys, we got disqualified at the end of the day friday. The top three times were from imports, and seeing how this was a year one (domestic) event, I could see why. But they should have said something to everyone before we paid 50 dollars to run. I really didn't care to much, I was just there to have fun :goodjob:. But some people were not too happy with it.

[matthewAPM]

The event was AWESOME. Great people. If only the imports could win the event...

I stayed in the paddock for a while just to hang out. I was letting my car cool down when I look to turn one and see a red object making a huge dust cloud and the BAM! A guy in a red Z06 corvette hit the pit exit wall and destroyed his vette. It was the vette with Fiske wheels, supercharger, coilovers, and sparco seats....what a shame.

So we waited a for about an hour or so and the event organizers said that we would get free laps for waiting so long. I figured it was going to be the slow 3 lap thing like before....wrong. We went out for 2 sessions making 10 laps or so and were flat. It was worth the wait.

BTW, does anyone have pictures of my civic (the red EF race car)

Don't know if you got my message on soloatlanta. The security gaurd wouldn't let us back into the event when we came back, he said it was closed. I guess the vet crashing might have caused that. Was looking forward to getting some pics and a video of us running around the track, since I forgot the first time. Oh well, Nice meeting you though man.

[Mr. Clean]

yeah they were talking about the vette at work today. said it was totalled. haha what a jackass...

but joe has pics of slowr/t's truck running and someone else but i cant remember who, but i think he'll pm whoever he has pictures for if he ever uploads them.

[DB4LYFE ™]

Man thats a nice sol! and i like the new wheels! :crazy:

HAH your funny. Lets go up to the moutains and i'll outdrive the **** out of you,(I'll put stock parts back on if you'd like) or you say i can't drift. Come up to the next drift event up at turner feild may 31st. Where i actually have room to get my rpms up. My car is not setup for tight technical drifts. I don't have the tourqe. ( Your open diff will spin your cheap "tire" alot better than my lsd with good "tires") As for spinning out. If i go off the course there you'll have to get a wrecker to come pull me out of the grass b/c i will get stuck.

i got money on gumby! mother ****** is scary fast in the mountains.

[Jecht]

Looks like it was a fun event!

[Sport1.3]

Damnit i need to get my struts faster....im missing all the fun.

Matt- What tires were you running at that event? im trying to decide if i wanna R-comps just yet. I ran a ton of events back in 2003-2005 but never have run anything better then Street tires. i never got a chance to run the MR2 with those Hoosiers i had.

I was running my crappy Falken RT-615 street tires. I was thinking about using race tires but didnt feel like changing them at the track.

What tire you use depends what you want to do and how much experience in the car you have. The thing about a street tire is that they will let you know before they give out (they make noise). With a race tire, you could be running lap after lap with tons of grip then the next turn it runs out without warning. For trackdays, there is no point in blowing money on a set of NEW R comps unless its for testing for a Time Attack, Solo1 or road race event.

If you do want to go with a race tire, go to www.rr-ax.com (http://www.rr-ax.com/) There are tons of people selling half used race tires for cheap. Thats were I buy all my practice race tires from.

[wantboost]

this thread is funny lol...

I have absolutely no real on "track" seat time in my present car. Only experience was with the Protege and the MR2. I have a slew of parts arriving any day now for the Cynos, to get it alittle tighter in a corner, but really havent bothered with tires yet. I have no clue how its going to act once i throw it around. I'm also thinking the R comps might be excessive. Hopefully i'll be out there soon. So are you for real moving on to bigger, better and non cone related events? :D

[SLOWR/T]

Id be willing to go play in the mountains ;)

[mushroom_toy]

Damnit I would have taken off work to autox the accord....if I would have known. :(

[mushroom_toy]

i got money on gumby! mother ****** is scary fast in the mountains.

I put some money on Matt. Mother ****** can drive. :) On that note, when we doing another during the week mountain run matt? I went up through blood mountain a little bit today, but didnt get on it extremely hard cause i was sightseeing with my girl :)

I saw your white a$$ coming down 129 into Gville today(right by 129 Salvage) I was in a big white Mack hanging out the window at you, but I guess you didnt see me. LOL

[Kalifornia087]

on my second run i said **** my tires and drifted all 3 laps lol. then the guy in the white miata with coilovers and a 1.8 went out and spun 3 times on one lap trying to drift. lol

Excuse me, but what the **** are you talking about. Spinning ONE tire up the back section and then almost sliding is not drifting. Jeffrey could out drive and drift you without even trying. Its actually harder to drift a miata with a real lsd (kaaz) and decent tires (i forget but im assuming he had on his 15x8s with 195's) compared to a ****ty 185 stock size 14.
Don't talk **** unless your ready to come out to a drift event and prove yourself. Even though I really only like mountain runs that are friendly and fun, i wish you'd come up there and make a fool of yourself trying to keep up.

Normally i don't rant and rave but talking b/s on the internet is not cool.

As for MathewAPM, i believe i saw your car at wendy's the weekend of FD atl. Looks good man (lol for those thinking i was about to start something) I want to come up to a mountain day with the ef squad now that i have my crx (its nothing special yet), i heard that car is fast in the turns!

[Kalifornia087]

Oh and on topic...

Dude the Sol just keeps looking better and better!! I didn't know it was yours because i haven't seen it with the new wheels. Keep it up!

[matthewAPM]

Look for a post on a mountain run coming up VERY soon.:goodjob:

[Kalifornia087]

Awesome. Hopefully i'll get my **** together.

[mushroom_toy]

DAmn I didnt see ya...Yeah we were actually coming back from the mountains. :)

[mushroom_toy]

Noice...

[cwhiteboy]

....... i heard that car is fast in the turns!

Yeah it does, I had to really push it to keep up with him on Road Atlanta.

I think you have been officially called out sir. If you would please go ahead and sign up for the May 31st drift event and let you driving skills back up your **** talking.

:blah:
So wht is the point of talkin crap to someone when the argument isnt about you?

why would you want to race in the mountains where theres big **** to hit and other cars? bad idea. how bout another autocross?

are you telling me that my car with LESS power/tq, ****ty vlsd, backwards setup, and more body roll than a 1972 buick actually should drift better? im sorry, but i think you have it backwards. you have more power, better suspension/spring rates, and a REAL lsd. i know exactly what your saying about the rpms though, i was having trouble with the same thing earlier in the day. but clutch kicking fixed that problem. im not trying to be a ****, but you did NOT back up your stickers at year one. lol.

and i saw you go off, you didnt get stuck. plus matts car is lower than yours and he went off and didnt get stuck either.

[SLOWR/T]

im not trying to be a ****, but you did NOT back up your stickers at year one. lol.


Classic!!! Sig material right there.

[SLOWR/T]

sorry bout the thread whoring. lol

on my second run i said **** my tires and drifted all 3 laps lol. then the guy in the white miata with coilovers and a 1.8 went out and spun 3 times on one lap trying to drift. lol

it was alotttt of fun scaring my girlfriend though. lol

Lol. Some how I missed this post. I hate to tell you but spinning the inside tire on the big right hander is not drifting. You did slide around the 2 tight turns but thats about it. I dont think there was a car out there this year that came close to drifting a lap much less 3.

[csmiths]

the sol looks really clean. i love the wheels on it.

[PURP]

Dam Justin. I love how your thread for pics has turned into an all out drift/mountain run extravaganza

[wantboost]

look at what you guys started.......

LOLOLOLOL

[JDMjoe]

Yeah i have a good many pics of the slowr/t truck and the mattewapm civic, but after the clean_sol ran i kinda stop takin pics.

well i never said i was completely sideways... lol

i WAS sliding, just not with much angle. VLSD FTMFL. either way it was fun.

i think that trailblazer SS was the closest to drifting the whole course out of everybody out there.

[matthewAPM]

Lol. Some how I missed this post. I hate to tell you but spinning the inside tire on the big right hander is not drifting. You did slide around the 2 tight turns but thats about it. I dont think there was a car out there this year that came close to drifting a lap much less 3.

Last year I drifted the entire track. hard to do this year b.c i was in the civic:D

Jesse was drifting the back section, not everytime, but he did once or twice....
