F*** Snow!!!

[FlimFlam]

Hey...am i the only one here that used to LOVE snow, and now absolutely hates it!?! I know those that have SUVs probably dont care and are actually happy that they can use their 4x4 for once. But for those with RWD tail happy cars that just need to get to school and back without killing themselves or others in the process....I CANT WAIT FOR SPRING!!!

Whose with me?

Kevin - Winter makes for good boosting temps...but its no good if that HP cant get traction...:D

[FlimFlam]

Yea know what....nevermind. They just canceled all evening classes and im actually starting to like this snow thing....hmmm...I may have jumped too soon.

Im with you on FUCK THE SNOW ... it really pisses me off cause they dont touch any of the back roads ... and it takes me 20 mins to get off the back roads drivin normal when the road is dry ... so to go to work its like 25 mins usual .. but now (SINCE THOSE FUCKERS DONT CLOSE EVEN FOR 3rd Shift PEOPLE LIKE ME!) it takes about a hour and 15 mins ... which sucks ass

Snow? I haven't had any problems getting around in the snow :D

[Woodrow]

I can't wait to get the Ninja out on the road.

[FlimFlam]

Yea, im with ya Formula. Nic lives in a lil neighborhood and doesnt know what its like to be NORTH of Richmond. Those two combos make it 10x's worse. When the West End got 4"s i got 8" and it wasnt cleared for 5 days! So yes, im sure you are putting around in your lovely Jeep, but even if i had it, i'd still HATE this snow!

Backroads arent fun in snowy weather. Mostly when you live behind a quary and dump trucks run up and down it and drive like its a perfectly sunny day and dont move out of the center and ONLY groove.

I want some f'ing snow, so I can start working on the merk and goin fast, and racing festiva's... and 90formula 350's.. why not a 89 turbo trans am mike?? those things are wicked

['90Formula350]

UHM ... EXPENSIVE ... ever seen a Turbo Trans Am ... the yeah on Ebay they are like 20grand ... FUCK THAT ...

And you make no sense ... you want snow so you can start workin on your merkur? Uhm ... YOU DONT HAVE A GARAGE YOU CAN PULL YOUR CAR INTO! ... so therefore you would have to work IN the snow ... which I know you wont be doing that

[FlimFlam]

Maybe he's sick like me and goes rallying as soon as he can get out the driveway??? Then i have to work on it because i break things constantly. The parking brake gets it about every other time i drive it. So it doesnt like to be pulled up at 40mph in a drift...so what!?!

Kevin - That was full opposite lock at 55mph coming over a crest...or for those that rally it would be "200 meters > 3 > over crest > down > 100 meters > into hard left > 2 > opens > slippy." :D I wish i still had those tires...ahhh.

sno is fun on occasion.. but when it prevents me from getting car work done, it SUCKS.. oh and that thing called cold.. that shit can suck it too. cold blows

[FlimFlam]

Yes...but we boosted guys have to remember that cold weather is our friend in the power department. I might hate driving in the cold now, but it wont be fun when i gotta go back to 93 octane in the summer w/o intercooler.

Kevin - sitting fine with 12psi and 87oct. with 35* days.

:wow: no intercooler? 87 octane? did i just hear that in the same sentence as boosted?

1) intercool that beyotch
2) use 93
3) enjoy the beauty of boost 200% better ;)

[FlimFlam]

Yea...im quite old skool eh? This car didnt come intercooled stock and i havent had time to put my HUGE Volvo FMIC back in. When i do i'll be running 87oct. and 18psi..mwahaha. Then its time for 22psi and 93oct and then the skys (or my head gaskets) are the limit!

Like i said...i LOVE these cold days.

[FlimFlam]

WHOOHOO...its melting! Now maybe i'll finally get some work done on that car so it'll pass tech without distracting the tech worker..:D

[Dublocivic]

Holy crap you must be running 6to1 static compression or something..?
The snow is good.. I love the snow. AWD is good.. I love AWD.
I kind of wish that my driveway was dry so I could put my Greddy FMIC on my Talon though..

[FlimFlam]

Holy crap you must be running 6to1 static compression or something..?

Hey Dublocivic...SHHHHH! HAHA. Umm..yea, im running the stock 8:1 c/r..thats it...mwahahah. Its stock..yea, lets leave it at that. I run 9psi everyday that i just daily drive it and run 87 if im broke, but normally 93. I have run 22psi NON-INTERCOOLED but it sure as hell wasnt just 93 octane. I also go through head gaskets like people go through toliet paper....gotta pay to play. This car has also seen about 5 different heads on it, so like i said...i might risk a lil something just to experiment. Now go and play with your Civic drag car and stop ruining all my tricks...hahaha...jk man.

-Kevin

[Dublocivic]

What size turbo is on the xr4? eheh.. alcohol injection with 118?
lol (non intercooled) you'd need something to take down those IAT's :p
Yea I know I need to go get this bastard out to the secret garage so the work can commence once I get my short block re-sleeved.

[FlimFlam]

Stock rebuilt Garrett T3 for now. Something bigger will be replacing it i just have too many project cars to be fooling around with this one. I've had this car the longest and im sure as you could agree...the old beater gets neglected the most.

I havent experimented with Alcohol injection......yet. Its on my eventual to-do list. And i can assure you it wasnt 118oct., but was closer to 105.

I swear, your going to get me in trouble if i keep telling you everything i got. Even though there are quite a few secrets no one will know....mwahahaha.
