Got a username for the Z car? Or get him in this thread possibly?

harry

I guess I'll keep it then, get a better start on those tires. I'm still up for a pull on the street just for fun though. Friendly is what I do best.


Clean car there. I'm still more than 10K from needin wheelie bars, but maybe one day...


Same here man :bigthumb: And your Camaro's good lookin, striped nicely.


Thanks man. I worked hard, bought it, put all kinds of work in it, and then every penny I made over my 7 months at a Toyota dealer. Little prettier, little faster all the time. My high-school graduation present was half the money for the motor, with me working for the rest, then building it in my garage. Can't say I'm not tryin, right?

Hey maybe you can buy some 27x10.5 MT radials, we'll put em on my car, then run to see who pays for em. How's that sound? :mrgreen:


Here's a link:

Your the one that made the comment about not being able to put tires on because "YOU DON'T HAVE A GARAGE". :roll:

this isn't the welfare system for racing. buy your own shit. if you can't aford them then race with crappy street tires or don't race. Next you will want someone to pay your gate fee

Nah, I think I got gate fee, just not much more. If I lost the race I proposed, I'd be paying you back for the tires. Then I might be viable to run some other folks. Besides, I thought we'd use your garage to do all the work. Borrow your tools and jack, maybe mini-tub it, lexan, 3 stage fogger, transbrake, fiberglass front clip, chutes...

This made me chuckle.

my mom paid for my graduation car, and my dad paid to have it towed home :poke:


don't forget to put on some vinyl fer advertising...

heck, made me wanna head over now & start wrenching with Hal's tools....

Glad to see some lightheartedness here :bigthumb: :cheers

don't need to borrow my tools. there are plenty in this thread.

besides I'm pickey on who I let play with "my tool"

I could afford that car when I was 18. it was still too new.

Wanna buy mine? Aint too new now. $12000 takes it, got over $15000 in it. And almost that in labor, done by yours truly.

How about your jack? :mrgreen:

I believe I talked with you for a while Saturday night Ace, I was the guy bitching about DSM's lol. Hell I'll run you for shits and giggles, I know for a fact you'll annihilate me so it might not be worth your time but I really don't care, I just enjoy driving :) I'm still on break-in boost, only about 17 psi, but I'm down for a friendly run

Hell, Illusions' own truck isn't even apart in his own garage. We decided to go for a change of pace, and replace the oil pan in an undisclosed location. "No peeking", you know?

if you need a garage to do stuff in, you can change tires in my when illusions vehicle gets out of mine.

You must be a Democrat. Always looking for a handout..

sorry answer still NO! :)

I can get it removed and brought back to my place if its in your way. It's there because you said to bring it there.

aren't you guys brothers, or related somehow?


yeah, Ace, since you are working & trying, if you need a place to do some work, just post up.

since you are working to better yourself, we will help you along.

but you gotta buy the pizza :mrgreen: :owned2:


we always had guys up to house when we were active duty, putting in stereos and stuff, long as they bought supper, we worked till they were done.

one guy stayed till 3am putting stuff in. we went to sack ~11:30, left him out there.
wife had cooked good supper, put leftovers in fridge,
he ate ALL the left overs ~2am to recharge his battery.

Steven Manes, IIRC, was a good guy.

:miss:

LOL, I think we are related. seems as if we are, I'm pretty sure I've known lxtasy all his life. :hysterical:

As per Ace, I just think he is just trying to be humorous. :roll:

hey my relative. nah its not in
my way. just ace's way if he needed to change tires. since evidently this day in age it is hard to change them on the driveway, carport, track or side of the road. i dont know how geralds tire does it outside like they do

They use PFM.

we can just push it to the garage side of the house in front of the boat and leave it there all weekend...lol but lets make sure the neighbor has company over from her church group or tupperware party's. :hysterical:

Definitely man, friendly runs rock. If it don't rain Saturday after Halloween, meet me at K-Mart and we'll go over some lil details to make it a closer race. Car guys should be like :Group Hug: instead of :evil::finger::barf:


Thanks tons, that sounds sweet. And fuck, I'll cook us somethin better than pizza. Another hobby of mine, way cheaper than racing, haha.


Yeah, I'm more out to have a good time than anything else :cheers I'm all about camaraderie and stuff.

Somebody suggested your Turbo Z would be a decent race against my car, both being on low-traction normal tires. If I smack it, I can cook em from 40 or 45 sometimes.

Sounds good man, and yes I'm more about being friendly and having a good time than nut-swinging and dick-measuring.

I laughed :lol:

Ya, But this is an 85' stock motor no nitrous 125,000 mile car. Not down grading the ability of the Z. Just saying there is nothing special about it. My only advantage would be running at the track or possibly on the lights. If you want to, I'll run ya. Not looking to loose or possibly win alot.

Worth a try, with gettin the carlengths right. Maybe we'll give it a practice run and then decide on how many lengths from that, try to make em fairly equal. I love close races. What speed to what speed do you wanna try? Or maybe a set distance?


Same deal here. Most I can afford is about $100, but I'm not one to scoff at anything lower. And just for fun is cool too.

me and d00z28 met u out at the track sun that was a sweet ride u had man

I really only want to race at the track. My license is worth too much too me.

Figure get a pass or 2 on each car, set some dials up to space em out right, should be good. Mine needs some practice passes, for both getting used to the track and double checking the car's health. Don't wanna lose and pay for a stupid broken U-joint. Or a tow home from there :eek:

They are both street cars, just run em and be done. No need for testing. If it drove to the track then whats there to test?

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, Dorchester looks like the street might even hook up better. A pass on mine cleans any carbon in the cylinder from my rich ass idle circuit. A Holley 650 doesn't have the fuel distribution that EFI has. Whether it's just luck, or if my thinking is correct, my first pass at the track is always the slowest of the day by a tenth or so. Plus I get a good heat cycle in the car, and mine likes that for whatever reason.

clear it out a million times like the other cars do. Or get the carb tuned a little better.

sounds like the proud owner of a racecar

I think I have seen you call out someone in about every thread now lol.:poke:

Hey, how do you think I start it on a cold day? Choke's broken, so rich idle it is. Race cars get towed to tracks, and never drive to work, park in parking garages, or go through automated car washes. Now who's got a street car? :mrgreen:

Huh?
