Damn you EF guys...HC and ITA?

[matthewAPM]

So I am in the market for a new race car. I've been looking at a vette and was almost sure that I wanted one until yesterday...its hit me. I MISS MY EF!!!! So now im looking at a CRX for Honda Challenge and SCCA ITA.

So what is everyones take on this?

Vette- street/track. Only TT car.

or...

91 CRX Si- Full ITA build. Obviously not street car. Also legal for Honda Challenge.

[Revmaynard]

matthewgaypm. lol

[efman]

so do you just do auto-x and track days or what ? what would this before

[matthewAPM]

matthewgaypm. lol

OHHHH, i see what you did there. You took the "A" and changed it to "GAY", who that clever.

BTW, nice fucking van

How much "racing" experience do you have ? just curious. If you had a ef like that would you have a toy for the street too ?

[matthewAPM]

6 years. Im an SCCA instructor. I have a BMW race car now. im getting a DD.

now answer the damn question....

EF or CORVETTE?!?!

[matthewAPM]

I could give two fucks about driving on the street. I will drive a tow vehicle as my DD.

I just sent a email to him...

The guy with the car. I'll see what he says.

I know its nice having something on the street. Almost all of my track cars have also been my DD. But I cant afford a truck, trailer, race car (and everything that comes with racing one), AND have a fun DD.

[LIKEG6]

The race EF would be my choice. We can do this over pm's if you like but I want to know how you got started doing what you're doing and what all there is involved with it. I would love to have a road race car or something to run in the Honda Challenge. I don't really like auto-X. I want to be on a real track.

a fun dd doesnt have to be exspensive, a da with fat fives, tires i/h/e and tockico blues is like a 2k dollar car that is fun and gets good mpg and is reliable.

Money son, its money. Thats why a lot of people start off with auto-x, and thats why i'm doing it. As soon as I'm making more money again, i'll be building a car dedicated for honda challenge.

But back to the main question.

Yeah Matt, I would probably go with the EF. Its gonna end up being cheaper in the end, both build wise and maintanence, and you already know that chassis can be really competitive.

BTW - what year vette is it. The vet would be a lot of fun too, but its gonna cost you a bit more.

Thats my :2cents: .

Lulz. Calm down Richie Rich. I was just laughing at the simple change I first saw in thread about you being a super l33t hacker. I wasn't trying to be clever.:rolleyes: Why don't you go build whatever the fuck you want instead of asking for other peoples opinions.

[matthewAPM]

Rich? HAHAHA. Im broke as fuck.

I think ill keep asking for opinions. thanks!

Yes, so plz get one.

[Thighs]

Rich? HAHAHA. Im broke as fuck.

I think ill keep asking for opinions. thanks!

you might wanna assess this little issue before you try to race. i never understood how you planned on racing, with barely enough money to buy gas to drive around... much less gas for racing. oh yeah, and tires, entry fees, parts, trailer/tow rig, etc.

[Elbow]

Wait if you are going to BUILD an ITA car...why not just finish your BMW...it'd be cheaper...I don't get it...lol....

[Thighs]

He bought it that way :goodjob:

[matthewAPM]

He bought it that way :goodjob:

congrats to him. It doesnt matter who builds it. As long as it gets you on track and your doing what you enjoy it doesnt really matter.

Im buying because I dont have $20,000 to build a car.

LOL @ Jesse. Thanks for the free shit! BTW, you can keep the board. I got my intake back already.

[Thighs]

well, you can give me back my torch, or i could call the police and have them come to your house and make you give it up, AND get you arrested for trespassing. your choice. this thread is evidence.

[Thighs]

or even better, ill just call your mom or scott and tell them i need my torch.

[Thighs]

I was just thinking that. lol

yeah, its whatever. ill defend him if i see it fit, thats about all.

[Thighs]

aw look, no response.

the police will be coming tomorrow.

[efman]

6 years. Im an SCCA instructor. I have a BMW race car now. im getting a DD.

now answer the damn question....

EF or CORVETTE?!?!

i'd like to hear about your racing experience, your a scca instructor but only 19 years old ? sounds like you must have worked hard to become so succesful to be a instructor.

racing 6 years so since you were 13 ? wow thats amazing :goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

aw look, no response.

this thread is EPIC! :yes:

[Thighs]

this thread is EPIC! :yes:



Caleb, i raced go-karts when i was 7... lol 13 is actually pretty late to start racing

yep. but still no response?

hes gonna delete that post, but it wont matter because i have a screenshot already waiting to get printed off tomorrow morning.

[efman]

this thread is EPIC! :yes:



Caleb, i raced go-karts when i was 7... lol 13 is actually pretty late to start racing

well racing scca events at the age of 13 is kinda a big deal i mean the scca is pretty big deal...... just thought i'd ask a racecar driver about how he got started
:blah: :blah: :gay:

[Papa_Smurf]

delete what post....?

what post does he say he has ur stuff and he's not giving it back?

im a little confused. want to see wut's going on here...... im nosey. lol

[Papa_Smurf]

well racing scca events at the age of 13 is kinda a big deal i mean the scca is pretty big deal...... just thought i'd ask a racecar driver about how he got started
:blah: :blah: :gay:

did he say he's been racing SCCA since he was 13, or just that he's been racing since he was 13, period.

[Thighs]

^^ lol yeah that one.

[efman]

sounded to me like scca but i could be wrong, he did say he's a scca instructor though, whatever that means

[Elbow]

well racing scca events at the age of 13 is kinda a big deal i mean the scca is pretty big deal...... just thought i'd ask a racecar driver about how he got started
:blah: :blah: :gay:

But he didn't race SCCA events at 13...lol.

[efman]

has he raced any scca ?

[Thighs]

he didnt RACE at 13... when he was 13 i was 14 and we would just do dumb shit all day lol. he went to events with his dad, but as far as i know he didnt RACE at 13. maybe drove a couple of briggs karts around the course or something.

[efman]

But he didn't race SCCA events at 13...lol.


that was kinda my point ;)

[Thighs]

i mean, i would have been more than happy to give him his intake and whatever else is in his garage that belongs to him, its not like i stole it from him lol. it was all left in my trunk after santa run and it didnt really cross my mind to get it back to him, plus he has a propane torch that i left at his house from helping him remove tar from the bmw. my intention was to give him his stuff whenever i got my torch back, but i guess being a man about the situation isnt an option for a "race car driver" who has the mentality of a 14 year old.

[Echonova]

Maybe I'm new to the interwebs... But you're seriously considering a Corvette or an EF??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLOLOLOLOLOLOL and in the same thread you said your broke as shit... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Get the EF, you're going to anyway. Because you can't afford the Corvette.

Let me answer this one plain and simple.

If you have penis issues get the vette.

After racing in SCCA ITB for years then helping out with spec miata.

I would suggest the EF. I watch for years Tom Fowler's CRX put an owning on many cars. They always said the car was highly illegal due to how fast it was. He sold the car and the car was not as fast. It was all the driver.

But that crx would put a beating on all the ITA cars real easy.

MY suggestion is the crx, unless you have willy issues then go with the vette.

[green91]

LOL @ this thread. Ive gotten mad reps over my sig btw.

[Papa_Smurf]

poooooooooooooooooop

wuts goin on with this?

this thread dont need to die down, bring on da drama!

he's sum drama for you...

Brad, i have suspensions to believe you stole my old hatch. not many people know, but i had a white EF a long time ago, that was an LS turbo and i built a log manifold for it and everything... shit is EXACTLY like your's... kinda a weird coincidence huh?

so im calling you out you dirty mother fucker, i think you stole my fucking hatch.

present documentation of the turbo build and the bill of sale or ima fuck jooz up man! :2up:














hows that for drama? :D

[green91]

I can personally vouch for b-rad having purchased new suspension and installed it himself. lol

so fuck your drama :)

No, the reason I was asking vette or CRX is I was wanting to run TT events in the vette and DD OR get the CRX and DD my tow vehicle. I made up my mind, and will be getting the CRX and running ITA (dammit hoppe)

As for racing when I was 13, yes I was. I started autocross in a FJA (at that time FJ4). I moved into cars when I was 15 and ran my dads camaro until I got my crappy MR2 that blew up every event. I sold that and got the miata.

YES, I am a SCCA instructor for PDX's. So is Simon, and he is not much old. Age is just a number in motorsports. No, I dont have the experience as many that I race against, but I do know how drive a car better then most. Results speak for themselves.

You know, all everyone on here does it talk shit, no matter if its about racing, there car, etc. Now I know most of you havent been in the racing world a very long time if at all. You get on a racing forum, and shit talking about racing is all that goes on, so I do the same here. So im not sure the point of hating on someone? I think that there is some kind of jealousy here? Look, im getting to do what I enjoy doing, racing. Some people dont have that opportunity, but im lucky enough to have a family that has supported me 100%. It doesnt matter if you build or buy, what matters is getting on the track and having fun. If the satisfaction came in building, I wouldnt build a race car. My satisfaction is getting on the track and having a good time no matter what happens. Slow_Hatch, you were there that day my car broke. Yeah, it sucked, but I still had a smile on my face because I enjoyed what I was doing. I also what to thank you for helping to get my car running again. Its things like that make me keep coming back. "Come for the racing, stay for the people."





still no reply? LOL come one matt. i guess im just gonna call him and ask for my torch back and if he says no, ill call the police.

no, im not taking it down there. Thats pretty imature to call the police on someone who was ur bestfriend for what 12, 13 years?!

If you want it back, come up here and get it. Seriously man

[Thighs]

i was gonna call the police after you basically said you werent giving it back. the reason i called you is because i didnt wanna call the police on you, because i agree that it would be a little extreme. i appreciate you being an adult about it and not making me call the police.

i have tried to talk to you and at least get on a friendly level because if anything, i dont wanna have an enemy with someone who, like you said, was one of my best friends for alot of my life.

I don't give a fuck if your parents DID pay for all your shit, but if you're going to sit on here all day long arguing over paying for your own shit and then talking down on peoples cars who DID buy them, not cool with me. Now as far as having skill, sure, it's cool, but even if some drivers aren't as good as you, that doesn't mean they don't know more technical information about driving. I'm sure we all know someone who knows everything about something but can't do it too well themselves.

Lol, yeah I was there. However you must have me confused with someone else, b/c I didn't help you fix your car. The thought crossed my mind, but I opted not to. From the moment I met you acted like you knew everything, so I figured no point in me helping. That entire day you acted like a typical 18yr know-it-all. A couple times you had most everyone rolling their eyes at you. Good luck in the future, hope you wise up a bit.

auto-x and trackdays does not = racing

auto-x and trackdays does not = racing

and if auto-x isnt racing, then what is it? I would like for you to say that on rr-ax or soloatlanta...im sure they would say the same thing:lmfao:

i saw get the ef. im in the same boat as far as cars now. im makin the jump from hondas to an M3 and its hella expensive for stuff. and im sure a vette is also and being 19 and dd'ing a corvette aint gonna be fun on insurance if your on your own policy. trust me you dont want to drive a tow vehicle daily. 9 out of 10 times towing =hp which = gas. our "tow" vehicle gets driven from dahlonega to pleasant hill everyday and gets 16mpg :)

autocross = fun. technically it is racing, because it is a competition of who can go the fastest. being against the clock doent mean its not racing, but i dont think you can put it in the same category or even close to W2W racing.

road racing = what old rich guys do for fun. unless youre racing in a televised series where sponsors pay big bucks to get their name on a car, you wont be making any money off it. in fact, some of the faster guys make just enough money to break even at the end of the weekend.

Well first off, all racing should be fun. If your not having fun doing it, then you should find a different sport.

Autocross is a racing competition against the clock to get the best time. For those of you who think autocross is cheap, your crazy. I know people who have autocross budgets bigger then my road racing budget.

Road racing is not just for old guys with money. Renting a ride in road racing is for old rich people. There are TONS of young guys who are racing in many different club and national racing series across the nation. Why do you think SM is so popular? Its because you can get on track and run a whole season for $15k including the car.

Now Pro racing is a different story. What many people dont know, is that most "pro" drivers are paying for to race, not getting paid. This is happening all the way up to the F1 ranks.
