Twilight: will be bringing the other half... but will prob need a hand stripping the stuff out of my car...mind if i meet at your place and we strip the seats out or something? Mandy isnt much of a help with such things, and with only 2 seats being in the car this time, I cant bring jared.

Guess it gives me what, 2 weekends to get the car lowered and the dirty great scratch fixed? :P

Ian

ok i have a question. my mate has a s13 silvia and he wants to come back wont because se says that his car runs **** down the strip in hot weather. is there and penifit running in winter?

Ian
03-03-2006, 11:27 AM
weather?

**** no. Rain makes traction go bye byes..... Every time it rains my car slips and slides everywhere whenever I give it too much stick on boost.

twilightprotege
03-03-2006, 11:38 AM
tell him he's a cry baby.

hot weather = less power becuase the intercooler doesnt cool much. the colder the air, the more power it'll make.

but it's the same for everyone. my car makes more power in the cold because there is more oxygen in the air and i can add more fuel. for something like ever 7 degrees i can add an additional 1-2% of fuel to my car and still get the correct a/f ratios

Mad Mat
03-03-2006, 11:40 AM
ok. yer i though he was puting it on. he just doesn't want to go up againsted astina's because he is scared he might get beaten. hahaha lol

Ian
03-03-2006, 11:51 AM
might get beaten?

Unless its a heavily worked silvia, alot of the cars on here will beat him.

Mad Mat
03-03-2006, 11:52 AM
na it is a standard na silvia. no turbo.

twilightprotege
03-03-2006, 12:29 PM
no turbo - then tell him he's totally full of cr@p. at wsid when the track temp was 59deg and the air temp was 31deg i still did a 14.878 1/4 mile pass. at that stage my best was 14.860 (done with TT 28deg and air 22deg)

Ian
03-03-2006, 12:53 PM
I wounder if a stock SP astina could take a stock S13 NA silvia.

Nate
03-03-2006, 02:09 PM
easily... but im not stock ... :D :D

03-03-2006, 02:41 PM

dirty great big sratch ... you will fit right in :p
if fitting in means I have to compromise my beautiful paint job... i'll just be an individual and stand out :P

nah the whole ordeal has me very upset... other half dropped the garage door ont eh car, and kept driving... damned lucky she didnt snag the rear spoiler...that could well have been very ugly.. but still... 2mm wide, 100mm long scratch and several other little paint lifts, all back to bare metal.... its enough to make a grown man cry :( :(

well yeh

but black, white, tangarine, whatever...a gouge like that is visble, and annoying. If your ride was dinged up like that you'd be ropeable too!!

the black doesnt help matters, its certainly more noticable...

black cars look the grubbiest when dirty..but they are sex on a stick when they are catching nice reflections =)

ok guys im sorry to say i will not be competeing tomorrow night ...i have just got home after a drive up clear mountain, at approx 7000rpm the engine let go and a rod exited thru the side of the block. I was in third at the time, obviously the engine siezed and it completely destroyed the gearbox, there is hole in it bigger than my fist. i called a tow truck but somehow the police must have got word of it and rocked up, went over my car, so now i have no engine and a list of defects as long as my arm. as you can imagine i am seriously gutted at the moment and i am seriously considering selling the car as its not worth fixing :(
mate that is farrrrked....

seriously

rod dropage...:( ugh

nasty

what did they defect you for? I watched andy get booked tonight....lucky i didnt get booked because i was fighting mammoth torque steer and smoking up bad... saw about 8 coppers out just then when i went to pick the mrs up.

out in force for sure..

You still gunna show up and say hi tomorrow? or just not going to attend period?

Ian
18-03-2006, 01:45 AM
Hmm... Im working till 5 tommrow, so i wont be there till late.

Nate - Do you want a conselation run in my car? Its free so long as u promise not to rev it past 6.5k.

Also, extreemly bad luck man.

That ****s me hearing that. What in hells name are the cops going to get out of defecting a dead car? Are they going to stop the kid driving it from hurtin himself? No. Thats allready been done. Are they going to make the roads safer by removing this vehicle from the road? No, thats also already been done. Does the poor driver (nate) not have enough problems on his hands without loosing a point and 250 bucks?

IMO thats just plain abuse of power and overzealousness. Its this kinda stuff that gives cops a bad name.


Nate... You have my old engine... is there any hope at all of patching together a working engine from the two of them?

I really am sorry to hear this happened to you man, it couldnta happened to a nicer guy.

//edit I was out last night and the cops were out in serious force. I was at aspley maccas at around 9pm and there was a skylines australia meetup plus other random hotted up cars meet. I did a drivethrough to inspect what was there then drove off. I went to milton maccas for dinner at about 1030 and they were all there. Just as I was sitting down with my poision (read: mcdonalds food) the cops rock up in full force and start defecting people. The cars split very quickly and the cops followed them in all directions, walking past my astina and leaving it alone (its an astina - whos going to do up an astina? They had omgfulsik skylines droped on chromies and 2km exhausts to worry about).

Anyway we left shortly after the cops had mostly left chasing the fullsik cars around. We noticed a high concentration of cops around the city and northside. I think aspley got hit as well and with such a high volume of cops its no wounder one of them headed up clear mountain.

Was the cop nice about it at all? Did he say bl your car died? Or was he an asshole?

Also, I know you dont want to hear it, but im the one who says nasty stuff around here so...

was it really wise to be reving your engine to 7k?

And yes, I know, hindsight is 20/20+.

Ian
18-03-2006, 09:15 AM
I may not be able to make it to the TNT tonight fellas. I gota work till 4pm or 5pm and I got no helmut (ENGRISH!).

If I finish at 4 I will see what I can do about getting there by 5, but at this stage it looks unlikely.

i'm not sure about homer - he's entered in both SF and FR! (unless that's a ray box typo). i'd think he's trying to get the SF record again because he screwed up at drag warz in sydney (ha ha)
