well, its been confirmed now, the kid with the GST wants to race me tomarow night, at 9:30.....i hope i dont lose cuz then ill feel stupid, my pride will still be lingering, but ill be sad all night. but, ill post again and let you guys know the turnouts of it all...wish me luck guys *pride*

 

what are you running?
and what is a GST? celica?

biker

 

Good Luck...you may been some help if hes got some decent mods, them DSMs hold a rep of there own

FYI: GS-T is a FWD Turbo Eclipse

 

good luck hdsm, and a GS-T is a FWD turbo eclipse. GS-X is AWD and turbo. Kick his a$$ man!!!

hes got a manual boost controller, catback exaust, cool air intake, and blow off valve


me, i have the 87 GTA 5.7 (edelbrock headers, gutted cat, flowmaster catback, new cap, rotor, wires, and platnum +4 plugs, trans-go shift kit, 3:73 9 bolt, (peg leg) and the 4th gen ram air hood+intake box:lala:

oh and his is an auto, its not a stick shift and mines auto as well, i only hope my reaction time is good, because if it is, then hes gunna have quite a hard time catching up, but once it gets up to about 70. those larger gears wont do me much good....but tomarow night, i hope my bird flys up to its reputation :hail:

 

Race him from a stop! He then should have a hard time catchin up.

 

of course, we both agreed on just a good ol-fassioned streetlight race, no rolling, no top speed testing, just a good vintage stoplight bashin

 

new ones? or the older Fast & Furious type?
just wondering....
didn't think the new ones came with a turbo.

nope its Fast and the furious style, but red no exterior, basically it looks stock, all except for the exaust, and the sound of the wastegate:lala:

 

I wouldn't race him from a roll if I were you, but you should have him from a stop no problem especially if it's a 95-99 eclipse, although I'd play it safe and junk the gimmick spark plugs and buy some normal ones so I didn't have as much predetonation. The T-25 even with upped boost is junk, I think it's the smallest production turbo. BTW All DSMs came with a blow off valve unless you're talking about he has a different one from stock.

 

You're gonna rape him every which way. Race him anyway you want. Make sure you are in DRIVE and not OD, otherwise, manual shift. Like I said, I beat one from a 75 mph roll, twice. With my freakin q-jet!!! My motor had like 800 miles on it, not even broken in!! I wish I could race the same guy now, I've probably shaved close to 4 tenths off my e.t. since then with all the tuning I've done.

Don't forget, he has no torque, at least nowhere near what you got anyway. I was lookin at your mods and I was thinkin' that me in my 84' and you would be a good race, which basically means you are gonna stomp him.

 

good luck!!

 

Definitely post results, should be good.

 

yea, def post the outcome.

well, tonights the big night for me, it should be cold out which will be good for my intake since i have the ram air box+hood before i go to the race, im gunna monkey with my TPS and clean up the intake a lil, i cut out the sceens a while ago in the MAF and i noticed a slightly better throttle responce, but can anyone give me some quick tips on what i can adjust on the motor to get a bit more temporary power out of it?

 

yeah he has the stock turbo, and intercooler, and its a 97 FWD...
what do ya say guys should i show him a good view of some T/A taillights? or what oh and he reffers to american cars as "slowmestics"...this just gets on my nerves, i respect his car because its one of the faster versions of the eclipse, but when you knock on american muscle like that.....well, either way hes going to soon learn to respect my car from a full stop

 

damn bro your gonna tear him a new one. no worries. remember that night those kids in the gs-ts came rollin up on me and i was bearly even tryin. you have even more off the line torque than my carb. just play the famous song when your racing and it will be all good, DR FEEL GOOD.

...hehehehe... cant wait to show his *** just what the L98 was famous for, he says his car pretty much kills anything in second gear, but my shift kit says differently

 

"he says his car pretty much kills anything in second gear"
only thing he kills in second gear is animals with his **** cooker, but deffinetly not an AMERICAN car

 

I wouldn't mess around with your car too much before you go and race, if it's runnin' good, just go race him, don't try to fiddle with everything. Are you scared??? Sounds like it, if you are trying to do last minute mods. You are gonna work him, stop worrying about it. LOL

 

Good luck tonight. BTW, if I were you, i'd start off in first or second gear. Man I love these races like this. Wish I could be there to see you stomp his *** in the ground. Maybe get to were your racing early, let your engine cool a lil'. Maybe let a lil pressure out of your tires, so as to hook better. You shouldn't need to worry. Your gonna OWN him.

 

Good luck and remember to be safe. And remember that if you're in front, you can stop the race whenever you want, unless its pre-determined. :hail: TORQUE!!!

 

I bet he didn't agree on the good old-fashioned ***-whippin, he'll be recieving!

 

I thought that, most of the time, letting pressure out makes your hook worse...?

woo-hoo! 100th post!
