wait, that guy is runnin nitrous in a soobie??? and he STILL is in the high 14s?? whats wrong here? wow....who is that?

 

^^Geez...no kidding.

Now you got new engine internals and all.

You started out thinking about putting on a Greddy Evo.

 

Wow, that's a blast from the past. I was but a lurker w/o a suby back then.

 

wow the ol schoolers sure did love the smileys.....


aloha from the summit of *-^-Mauna Kea-^-*

 

I got it. It was nice and quiet but still powerful. Sold it to DrVortex.

I think he left before I got to the island.

I guess this is him.

That's just because it was only the grumps back then, everyone was very careful to not **** in anyone else's wheaties.

I figured I'd get along alright with the approach of I wouldn't say anything on there that I wouldn't say to someone in person.

 

his name is chad... it was an 00 or 01 2.5rs.... remember there were subies before wrx's
thats not a bad time considering when i had my rs motor i did a 15.9 with headers,intake and exhaust

 

....and considering a the WRX's were low 15's.



I forgot that my mentor was ever in the 15's. Man, 3 seconds. Where'd the time go?

 

blake, are you talking about the same guy?

 

Wow. That is before I even got my car. Richard asking how to do the clutch-slip drop, 13's were a dream... damn, I even ended up running a 13.5. The whole discussion about how much money we were dropping in cars... Pat, did you ever think you would be ripping the engine out and replacing the internals yourself... on your 3rd tranny?

I never thought I'd break the $10k mark in mods... but I'm there. I miss the old drag-race days. I'm pretty sure that I could come damn close to 12's now. Even with the stock turbo. But I really want to track this thing again.

I got my car 3 months later, and Jayson was the king of the track. With his VF-22 and Custom-tuned (By Shiv himself) Unichip. Wow.

 

Nah, he's right. Talking about me.

 

Feels weird, huh? I'm only a little more than $20k now.

You know, at that time, I think Jayson wasn't yet the king. That guy Bill/Scoobysouth was at 13.5. When we were at that point, I think Rextang was knocking on 14's...but I could be losing my memory.

Greg, you went the right route. I really enjoy dragracing, but at this stage in my life it just seems as though the odds of breaking your car autox'ing or occasionally doing a trackday are much less than running down a strip 350 times.

 

I didn't get mine until October. It was right about then that Rexstang was the 1st to break into the 12's. I remember taking my wife to the track with my 300-mile old car and meeting Wes, Richard, and Jon. I had never been to a track, much less a drag race, and they were super cool. They were trying hard to get me to race that night, but I wouldn't budge on the break-in procedure. I thought Wes' SDR's were pimp.

 

Man I miss the old days
