Thursday Night open call

[Lankhoss]

And each time you responded to me you act like I have nothing better than to "tread softly" or give a fuck about if YOU think I am being manipulative. I'm very articulate - and I won't make any1 have to "guess" or piece-together if I am attacking them or trying to stir the pot.

This is the internet, I don't have to "pick" my words carefully... you obv felt guilty or felt that I was referencing you when I wasn't. When I asked you about your gearing I did it DIRECTLY. When I called you a dork for co-signing Stone I did it DIRECTLY. When I asked Stone for a run against my notch I did it DIRECTLY. There is nothing mysterious about me or anything I say or do on here. There is no reason for me to "play off" anything. You asked if I was referring to you - I said no. That was the end of it --- otherwise I would have just mentioned you directly sir.



I totally agree w/ this post. I'm a lurker on SCF and Midwest Street Cars... I know my place and stfu on there as well unless I am being spoken to, which isn't often.

Actually, you aren't the least bit articulate, that's what I'm getting at. You like to throw in your snide remarks and under-handed accusations and insults, then type a bunch of "nice" words around them and follow up with some emoticons so you can keep convincing yourself what an intelligent and non-combative person you are.

I actually have more respect for the "shit talkers" than I do you, because at least they are confident in their stance on things and don't have to worry about the reputation they have. People like you, on the other hand....are just manipulative snobs that think you've got the whole world tricked.

As far as I'm concerned, you can keep your fake friendly manipulative statements to yourself.....because I don't care for your bullshit.

Oh wait, let me throw a bunch of emoticons in here to absolve myself of any confrontational or insulting words I may have typed, in an attempt to make you look like a dickhead if you respond back

:boobies:

You make 460, Lankhoss sig says 496, I make in the same neighborhood. I wouldn't call that a lot more by any stretch of the imagination. To further that, I'm not positive that he won't drag me down the road.
If it's gotta be run what you brung, instead of street tire to street tire (which we both already have), I would prefer to wait until I've got drag radials.

I don't know what your car weighs, but I'm assuming it's less than me and Smacked.

I'm about 3115 without me in it, and 5/8 tank of gas.

I believe Smacked is around 3450 - 3500 without him in it, and full interior. That's why, even though he's only 36whp behind me, he's nowhere near as fast as me because of the extra weight. He traps 6mph lower on slicks than I do on street tires.

[Lankhoss]

What time are you guys going to the meet, by the way?

[4eyedbox]

Dry weight I'm 3200.

[jhadleyh]

Dry weight I'm 3200.

get em

[4eyedbox]

Shut your mouth you terrorist.

[Lankhoss]

You going to Sonic, 4eyed?

[Lankhoss]

Ok, been waiting around for a couple of hours for responses and haven't seen anyone type anything...so I'm assuming everyone went to the meet. I'll be up there about 10:00.

[4eyedbox]

Yes, I'm here.

[Lankhoss]

Yes, I'm here.

Hey man, it was good to meet you and great runs!!!

Just for the record, the Z can't hang with the M3

I am sorry about how the night ended, keep me informed!

[Camrazy2102]

^night ended...what happened cops?

[Catnip]

You running Saturday?

[Lankhoss]

You running Saturday?

I don't know. I am getting worse traction than I originally thought, and if I'm spinning to the point of almost losing control of my car at 90+mph it just seems pointless.

The weather looks bad too, so I was already thinking I wouldn't make it down.

And in case anyone is wondering, my tires are almost completely bald. The wear bars are almost gone in the center, and that's why I'm having a hard time moving forward instead of sideways heh

Any1 that knows me or even almost knows me won't agree w/ anything you just pulled out of your ass -LOL. Watch me give a fuck about anything you just said, or will say next... don't blink, or you'll miss it. Here is an emoticon for you


Oh yeah


--> You don't need my comments to look like a dickhead, all you need is a mirror for that.

[Lankhoss]

Naw, we got our runs in and it was apparent who was faster (M3). He also hurt his car, so even if we wanted to go more we couldn't.

Really nice guy, and I hope it doesn't turn out to be as bad as we thought.

He also said he was at about 15psi instead of 12...which is what he originally thought he was gonna run at. I'm betting the boost increased with the cold weather.

If my rear C5z wheels will fit on your car, you're more than welcome to try them. They're 315 hankook RS2s on 18x10.5's (not sure if that will even clear your brakes), I was able to get a 1.8 60' out of them launching pretty soft. They're "semi-radials" so at 11psi, they worked great. I know your car has a good bit more power, but it's worth a try...

Repiks said the weather is looking like it will hold off 'til Saturday night.

[BABY J]

You keep responding, don't you?

^^ I love you. Coffee/drinks on my dollar?

I appreciate it man, but I'm not a big drag racer. I wanted to see what I could do with the car, how I drive it on a daily basis. I'm also probably gonna put it up for sale next week, so there's no sense in adding wear and tear on it and possibly damaging something or wrecking.

I still MIGHT come down, but more than likely I won't.

Beer??????

Ahh i see, good to know yall had fun and safe night.

Works for me baby mama.


On a side note - I hope he got to drive the M home instead of tow it. Sounds like you guys have fun. Vids?

There are vids, but he didn't get to drive it home

[BABY J]

Crap. When you can drive it home that's always a promising sign. When you can't... things get iffy. I hope it's a quick/inexpensive fix.

Yeah, we're HOPING it's just a...and I'm having a brain fart here for overhead cams...but the rod that opens and closes the valves.

It could be a connecting rod or piston, but it was a very fast clanking noise inside the motor, so we're hoping he can just fix the problem and be back on the street without having to pull the motor and rebuild it.

[4eyedbox]

First and foremost, Lankhoss it was a pleasure to meet and run with you. No chit talking, no bullshit, and you were very accomidating to me on the speeds we ran from and too (even though on our first run I blew past where we I said I thought we would need to stop). If only everyone who I run was as mature and sensible as you.

I just made it in. Spent forever trying to find a 24 hr tow company that is actually 24 hrs.

The videos:
Only two runs were well captured on video, our last run and my run against the 996 Turbo. I'll get them off the camera and posted when I get a chance. The run with the Porsche would have been much better if I had been able to hear his horn and he didnt get a huge jump before I realized we were going.

My car:
Perhaps a broken rocker or a busted Vanos unit. More will be revealed tomorrow when I start tearing it down. I hope its simple and enexpensive, but it definitely didn't sound like it was.

right proper way to write your experience up sir...more people should take direction from you. +1

It was good meeting you as well man, and I agree with you....these are the best experiences, regardless of the outcome of the race.

Well, anyone breaking something is NOT a good experience...but you know what I mean! I'm hoping it's something minor and you can get it back on the street. I have been around too many late night tows home to know they are NOT fun.

[SmackedInATL]

Damn man sorry to hear about your car. See you would have raped me! Dig is my only shot lol.

Lank, how many cars now have blown up while racing you?? LOL.

I was already finished running him. I had ran the 996 turbo as well. It didn't happen while running, but rather once I was done. I'm sure the stresses of running didn't help the cause, but it was running full force during all pulls. Hell it was driving normal as I got off the exit, pulled off from a light, and drove into the QT.


Status update:
I'm waiting for my friend to get here so that we can head to the shop and determine the exact damages.

[Turbodude06]

That sucks man, good luck with it.........

[UpSideDownDesi]

damn sorry to hear about the car Rodney. Seems like good folks were out last nite.

[sleepys4]

That wasn't Rodney..

[BABY J]

^^ What he said. People get both of their cars confused.

Keep us posted man and if u need some help turning some wrenches let us know. I'm not gonna run Lank since he tears up people's shit.

[Stol3n]

I raced Lank and didn't break.

Can't wait to see vids.

[Lankhoss]

I'm a sore loser. If you pull ahead of me, I hex your motor!!!

[4eyedbox]

Person:

Nope I'm not Rodney. Although our cars look similar to a lot of people, you can rest assured that we don't.

Car:

Much to my amazement; the head, valvetrain, and Vanos unit all seemed to check out fine and dandy.

However, it seems that the noise was coming from cylinder number 5 and ressonating up through the engine. More than likely a spun bearing. Didn't have time to drop the oil pan and investigate any further as we took a nice leisurely lunch and Brett had to take care of some other business today. I've left my car with, imho, the best BMW shop there is, and Brett will have it back up and running by the time I get back from FL after Thanksgiving. Knowing Brett, it will probably be done well before I ever make it back.

The video:

I borrowed the camera from a friend and the data cable wasn't in the bag when I picked it up. Miles called together a search party yesterday and they are believed to have sucessfully found the missing cable amongst the residential jungle dwelling. As soon as I get the cable the videos will be up. (and yes I know... this thread is worthless w/o video)

The hex:

Please Mr. Lankhoss quit following me around and using your voodoo. Voodoo is not very grown up.

[btstone]

the only thing that broke when we raced was my pride

[Stol3n]

[oleblue]

Damn, I know those Z's are mean as hell even stock so the M3 must really be a beast to pull a modded one like Lankhoss's car, i'm ready to see the video of this M3 running.
