Boy sure makes me want to go out and spend three times as much as you should on a swap lmfao.

I dont want to hear about who in california is doing what . I want somebody to take there shit to the track around here and win then talk shit or go hide in the bushes (if there is enough room in there with gregg's big ass) lmao.
LOL! You know jones, my hands were on fire when i read this, BUT im gonna try to be calm as possible with this(shit talking wise). Mainly because i dont think i'll will be able to make showdown this year. just got to much going on with setting up down here(life, outside of cars) but hey at least i'll be able to make it next year in May and who knows, maybe i can make it this year so we'll have to see, but i SERIOUSLY doubt you will need me there to have fun. u have the other FASTER k series guys too compete/worry about

I mean what stock car can drive 150+miles to an event, slap some slicks on and run low 12's ALL DAY and slap the street tires back on and drive 150+ miles back home WITH NO ISSUES!!!????????........................ In case i lost you there, its called A K SERIES!!!!!

And why do you want to start at the bottom? Guys like u and bobby(unlike guys like DARKSTAR and such that HAVE to start at the bottom) should go straight for the top. i.e this thread should have been titled to Moseley, 05DC5s or/and Stretch. Those are the fast K guys(been shown over and over again) you should address

And i hate to bring up other regions but the TRUTH of the matter is that if u built 10 h2b etups all making 300whp, u would get CRUSHED if u took them up north or out west by K's because we down here in the south have always been behind the west and north with the imports. If importshow down went up north or out west, the list of winners would be 95% K series!(in my Obi-Wan voice) search ur feelings jones and know that i speak the truth!........... or u can just pull up youtube and watch for urself. pull up Honda Day 2010 and 2011 and tell me how many k series allmotor wins u counted then tell me how many h2b's u counted and let me know the results

And u know what, really its no excuse for us to be behind. I used to think it was about money(with the k costing more) but thats bullshit! because even down here in Mobile, these dudes have GOOD PAYING jobs and can afford k builds! but like in ATL and other surrounding SOUTHERN states are just too damn stubborn to do so. I mean really! a fucking dude comes up to me and say "damn man, that k series is nice!, how much it set u back? about 10k? haha.....etc etc" then i ask him "hey dumbass, how many times in the past year or two have u rebuilt ur turbo b or h series?" and he says only 2 or 3" i said "ok so how much did that cost u total?" and you know what he said???????????? NOTHING!! yea, he said nothing!, why? because he knows i was about to make him look like an ass.

Then the allmotor B or H guy will say "well i havent rebuilt mine period and its been running perfect for 3-4 years now" then i say" well thats cool man, what kind of cars have you beat on the street/highway and what quater mile times have u ran??" lol the most i hear is anywhere from 14's-low12's and on the highway they may beat a STOCK cobra......from 10 years ago. lol! Does this mean they cant? of course not, but its highly unlikely! How many guys do u think are out there like u jones, here in the south that actually have a fast h swap and have the knowledge that u have to keep that bitch together for years???????????????

The little TDC allmotor h car that runs low 12's that ppl like to brag on, ALWAYS have issues!! I talk to the owner all the time down here and he himself has told me that! lol! Its not we cant do it(people in the south), but ppl are just to stubborn/ignorant down here to do so and when you back them up in a corner with it, the ONLY defense they have is the k series "cost too much" and then when you ask them how much they've paid in the last 1 or 2 years(on their b or h swap), they shut down! I can understand its a matter of preference with some ppl but MOST guys its not!

I see it everyday jones, here and in ATL! Not everyone has ur knowledge on h's, not everyone has bobby experience on B's. You can build those h2b motors for darkstar and those other guys all you want, but the fact of the matter is they ARE NOT you, meaning when the SMALLEST thing is out of place that can turn into something huge, they will not be able to pick up on it in time. No i'm not saying joey doesnt know anything about h's, i'm sure he does, but he's not u. Just like if i were at the track, moseley or chunky could pick up on things faster than me in k-pro becuase they know it more than i do etc etc.

But as far as ur claim to no K series around here doing numbers(besides moseley), shit, there's really not many k series to show, so of course they're not doing anything. Down here in mobile(import wise) having a keries IS a waste of money, becuase i could build a fucking D series and put it into a 88 HF crx and BUST ASS!!!!! yeah, thats what i'm dealing with down here. lol! V8's are gonna be my main/damn near only competition down here once i get a new clutch

But have fun at import showdown if i dont see ya there
