garret is still working on the S/C Tom is talking about his super swampers and how he got ripped off selling the rims/kuhmos he had....not much else ATM.....

 

Wow...that is actually everything going on. Welcome back Bean! I ran into a couple issues with the SC, so I am working those out, while taking notes on the install manual. I am gonna write up a lil do's and dont's, my advice, pro's and con's, and a if I reccomend it or not. Think of it as the Garrett Report, 2004. LoL!!

It's good to have ya back Beau! DON'T LEAVE AGAIN! So how's the new 1/8th mile track?

 

I wont leave again.. hopefully. The new 1/8th mile track is great. I ran the saturday after we went to HRP and ran consistent 10.80's. Low time was 10.74. Sometimes it was hard to get traction since its a new track.. there is barely any rubber on the pavement. Also, a perfect reaction time out there is .500 instead of .000 like at houston. low reaction time was .543 and i usually averaged around .570-.620.

anyway... sorry my reply was so short... I'll tty guys later.

woot

 

Jimmy,

You make me sound like all I do is complain.....you know, which reminds me, I sold my Kumho's on Sunday and only got 400 bucks for them, darn it. I paid good money for those. And these freakin' swampers, all they do is vibrate, and......oh, maybe your right...I'm complaining again.

Beau, how is it running an 1/8th mile track? is it fun or does it seem too short? why did they only build an 8th mile, not enough room for a 1/4?

Tom

 

Runnin the 1/8th mile track is fun. It makes all the races closer. My friend with a chevy is runnin a 15 in the quarter mile... but in the 1/8th mile he is runnin a 10, as am I. Granted he is in the low 10's and I am in the high 10's.

There wasnt enough room for a quarter mile track because they had to build at least a quarter mile long shut down area, which ends almost at the road that runs in front of the track. I love runnin out there though because it is close, and not crowded at all. There were maybe about 40 or 50 cars out there, unlike houston which had 3 or 400. in 3 hours i got about 15 or 20 runs in.... Not sure if that is any good for my engine..but oh well, i had fun doin it. I still mad because i havent figured out how to do a burnout with a stick shift. Manuals are easy.

Oh yeah, a few days ago i got another play toy... a 1995 Accord. Already lowered, rims, tires, body kit, k&n cold air intake, exaust, and some internal work done. That car scoots. Best of all... the previous owner installed a prestige alarm system with remote start. Its great.

Anyway, thats all for now.

Bean

 

RICE?!!??!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!


Nah, just kiddin. I own a 2001 Accord, but it's slower than dirt. It's an auto 4 door and it's sloooow. But hey, it's really nice on the inside and really luxurious. Leather, 6 disk, sunroof, and all that other good crap!

 

umm...what?

 

I concur

 

uh, yeah. do you have a manual trans, or a stick shift???? ha ha....

You have an automatic don't you? Step on the brake and throttle the gas W/O. Your torque converter should wind your rpm's up to about 1800 and you should spin your one wheeled wonder.

Check this video out. This is what we do on the weekends now.

i have a 5 speed. I wasnt thinkin when i wrote that. Auto's are easy. Just step on the brake then the gas... but with 3 pedals its a little bit harder.

 

no no, just hold the clutch out, rev it up then drop it in simple as pie
