Me and a couple friends went down to a car show tonight... they are all into the import scene. so all 4 of us go cruising down the two lane highway down to the show.

i'm in my Irocz.. one kid has a ITR swapped bolt on 95 civic coupe with carbon fiber hood and trunk. looks kinda cool. runs ok, needs a better tune tho he says.. computer aint all right yet.

other is a similar civic but with full exhaust/cai SOHC motor. not sure if it was a D16 or w/e or B16 sohc.

last car was a SVT focus with CAI.

nothing major but some fun. along the way we all take some turns running each other. the SOHC civic runs well with the ITR one who had a passenger, but still got pulled alittle up top.. i was impressed. the SVT was quick too for what it was. put down 153whp. i usually was in the back just running behind them as my car was abit quicker than all theirs.

i'd give them a jump from behind me, then get on it as they closed near me, and the ITR civic hung well. took me alittle while to pass and stop his head start pull... but i got em.

then along the way a nice later 60's nova SS came up. a older guy and his wife. car sounded loud but looked all original. he was goin out the show too so all of us just cruised together and played around. he was a car in front of me and a car behind the focus, when i heard him get on it. i punched from the 65mph roll and caught him immediately and started to pull. i had to let off early as i was comin up on the focus. the focus was pretty even with him from what i could tell, but looked to be gettin creeped on. the ITR was up a few cars messin with the SOHC. i dont think they ran the SS.

Overall, not a bad SS just wasnt too fast. not sure what motor he had in it. i never got a chance to talk to him again.

so we all had some fun. the show was good too. alot of nice cars

 

sounds like a fun night! can't wait to get back into town to get to play with mine and get all the boys together again.

 

yeah it was great.. first time for me to actually hang out with a bunch of cars and cruise together.. it felt good to have a group of ppl to race with and just cruise. i knew these kids for alittle while just never really did anything together. i wish more of my friends had cars to play with. its so much fun just to drive around in a group

 

oh i know exactly how you feel. we have a decent group here.

me
ssean92
bigdreams92(though he has yet to make it, always had stuff apart...i think he's all back together now)
maroon88iroc
my pops if he ever gets his car tagged again
and my buddy Kody, though he doesn't have a s/n here yet. (black 84 berli we built)

 

sounds like a fun cruise. i love doing stuff like that.

so what are you running now, 13s or have you managed to get into the 12s yet?

 

thats gotta be great! having a group and them being thirdgen guys too! i see thirdgens around my area, but never get a chance to talk to them. some arent on here at all. not too many nice thirdgens tho

well, i been running 13.8's to 13.9s on my street tires at near 100mph in the good weather, 97-98 so far in the heat. on my new ET streets, i hope to hit low 13's. if i do i wanna try to get 12.99 on stock TPI/L98 with just minor mods like full exhaust/pullies/tune/electric pump/AFPR if needed, and stuff like that... no TPI mods, no cam mods, nothing. and if i need to then i'll do 1.6 rockers. we'll see what she does wednesday

 

100mph with good traction is good for about 13.4/13.3

 

i seen a 5.0 stick car do 13.09 at 101.x

i am hoping that i can get 13.4's with the car right now... then a few more mild mods to free up some power and then some more weight reduction. i have a feeling, if i get a custom tune and some hp freeing mods like electric water pump, underdrive pulley, AC delete/smog delete, maybe AFPR i can hit a bottom 13 to a possible high 12 at 101-102

 

I got a mag here that has a 89 TA running low 13s with a superram with no tune or engine work. It did have 3.73 gears and exhaust.

 

yeah, i did 13.08@101mph back with the old 305 combo

 

are you ok? sitting there playing with the imports and enjoying it without putting them down? this is TGO right???





glad you had fun though. any pics of the car show?

 

yep lol i like imports... just not ricers... and all cars have rice


and sorry, no pics

 

Ya it is sad what some people will do to nice cars. There is a thirdgen around here with a 3ft wing and fartcan on it. Sounds like crap.

 

yep i see cars like that all the time... lots of nasty muscle cars and modern muscle. stangs especially since they have alot of body kits made for those cars

 

That Nova must have been a 307 car if you pulled on him like that.

 

update. me and the same kids minus the sohc civic went to the track. the ITR ran 15.7 but he says he missed third and had 2.39 60 foot

svt focus ran 15.7's as well but with a 2.3x 60 as well.

those are the best runs that i know of that they did

 

you have one in your area also. I have been thinking of getting a pair of bolt cutters and going to his house at 3 in the morning and cutting it off and throwing that hideous metal spoiler in some random dumpster

 

if it's not your car that's not cool

 

it is something i would never do, i just wish would happen

i hate that kid, he calls my car a slow po$ because it is brown and thinks his 305 tbi would destroy me because carbs are old technology. get this his car is 3 different colors because he put used parts on is and he thinks that makes his car look better

 

Yah, "One man's junk is another man's treasure".
