Damn that was a long and funny read.

As far as a race goes. I would always like to race someone that will be close with me because it makes it way more fun. Beating the shit out of someone,unless that cavalier with teh underglows and triple stacker pulls up next to you, or you getting raped is never fun.

I have never raced for money just for fun and mainly against my friends. To me the whole scene is all about having fun and not whose dick is bigger. I always tell everyone what I have and what it ran,

Let's take for example, I went to the 1/8th mile here in Phenix City a long time ago and there was a sr20 240 out there. He kept on wanting to race me and I continued to beat the hell out him. When I pulled back around him and his buddy's were like dude you have to have a turbo. I laughed and said "No, here look under my hood". So I just stayed in my car and popped the hood while they looked around. They shut it and said "ok, cool, well this thing is pretty quick then". Then I tried to give him some tips on driving his car which eventually helped him out that night.

doesn't matter what you tell them, b/c most non-honda guys wouldn't have a clue how fast the honda is.. Or a Honda guy wouldn't know how fast the sti/evo is either..

i see it this way. there is no need to know what motor im running as long as its all motor. yes i have the bottle hooked up but if someone want to run motor to motor i will gladly unhook my line so that its fair. 99% of the time im running all motor ne way.

you can just replace them. all you gotta do is pull them out using a flat head and hammer i think? i dunno if silicon will help with a part thats constantly moving like that
09-01-2009, 12:14 PM

but back to the OP.... and to why i even did N/T is because when your out on the street and your trying to set up a money run, you want every advantage you can get. then someone walks up and says something like, stop bullshitting you car runs low 13's at the track. now they dont want to run for money.

You don't have to get along with everyone, and the people you don't hang out with aren't necessarily your enemies. Just pick and choose the crowd you want to surround yourself with.

i dont think its about being shady,. i dont going blabbing about my set up, but we are cool and in the same crowd

By being "shady" I mean approaching someone and acting as if you are going to tell them what you are running, but in reality it's a bit more.

Someone coming up and saying "Hey, wanna run my Mustang? It's just got a pulley swap, exhaust, tune. Should be a high 11 second car" When in reality they have a 150 shot on the car, running on race gas, and have run 10.5's before at the track. Or, the same person asking for a race....but then acting like they have no clue how fast the car is.

There are people who choose not to share their mods, and there are people who don't mind doing so. Then you have that other group of people who try to play down their car or act like it's something that it's not. Those people actually aggravate me FAR more than the ones who are up front and let you know they don't disclose the work they've had done to their car.

yeah i know that. i also find it hard to believe that a non-vtec anything na could have kept up with me like he did. built or not. thats like me saying that i have a built motor and im going to take the turbo off. thats their power and with out it they dont have it.

note: i have nothing against nemo im just stating facts.:goodjob:
