Hey all I had a great time at the last meet in September. What do the rest of you all feel about trying to squeeze in another meet before the end of the year?
 
It sounds like I am not alone in wanting another meet. I would recommend a weekend meet like a Saturday; I would recommend Dec 13th or 20th, others are more than welcome to provide input.

Also we would need plenty of parking space, how do you all feel about Dave and Busters on Loop 410 and I-10? Plenty of room, and easy to find - again this is just a suggestion, would welcome feed back and recommendations.
 
:dsm: I want to see what these mitsibishis got. I had a 97 nissan 240sx. It had some up grades. Now I have 98 gst spider eclipes. I like the way it drives it`s nothing compared to the 240. I am a daily driver. If anybobody out there can help and tell me what I can do for up grades to these car. For starter a add a hks 3 inch catback. About the meet I am ready when y'all are ready . You can email @ [email protected]

There are some very knowledgeable guys on here when it comes to these cars. The first thing I would do to your car is maintenance. Fuel filter, plugs, wires, o2 sensors, etc. You would be surprised how far a stock 4g63 engine can handle :thumb:............unless you get boost happy (DSM_PWR) :D
 
What about a meet on the same day as import shootout? We can even make it an all day event? Maybe have a BBQ after the track and hit up Austin or SA at night. We better get movin' ### some of us have to request off from work for these things... (which I already requested off for import shootout :thumb:)
 
I think we all know what i put a stock 7bolt through and how much it can handle with proper maintenance :sneaky:

Just how much could it handle? And I'm not talking about that all so accurate DSMLink estimate either, cause I have some impessive numbers using that too. ROFL or is it :sneaky: or ;) or :p, but probably more like :spam:.

Can I bring my wifes Escort? It will for sure get me to and from SA without the tow truck. :D
 
I was/am NEVER scared to race you. I have a pregnant wife so I don't exactly get to go to the meets when I want (as you do) and my job requires that I not get tickets/arrested (again) for street racing, well any tickets in general.

Just so it is on the record, I would have run your e85/28psi (or whatever you were running) with just pump/20psi. If that wouldn't have been enough to beat you, so be it. I could care less about winning and losing. I do this for fun only, and always have.

As for the races with Frank. You had a few times to run him but didn't, for whatever reason. You 2 have/had the same basic setup, with minimal difference in the setup so yes I would have liked to see you 2 run, much the same way I liked watching him and Chris run. I believe (if your car ran as good as you claimed) it would have been a very good match. However you wanted Frank to run guys you were scared to race, or just didn't want to race. You wouldn't even try to run the Mustang that I tried to run the 1 time I went out to the local meet. Used the old traction excuse and something about needing baby Jesus. Last I checked I was fwd AND I even tried to do his race, drag radial or not. They spin just a easily at 23psi/e85 as do the 18's at 14psi/pump, but that is the nature of the fwd. Now we will never know what the outcome would have been since I'm retarded at shifting during races, but you never tried.

So since I types all that out, none of it really matters because you don't have a running car, I don't get to the meets like I want, and Frank could care less either way. Like I said in our texts, I can't wait to see your new setup because it sounds very nice. I know you have big plans (probably more than anyone in Austin) and I hope you finish it because it will truly be a monster, and might even be pretty clean too.

Now before people start crying and getting their man panties in a bunch, I will get this back on track and have no problems with anyone here. This is just in fun and I'm actually sitting here laughing at the fact I typed all that out.









So, when and where are we doing this meet?

True i didnt want to race him at the moment because of the fact that i had minor issues like spark blowout, you know it because i was asking you questions about it. I would have raced Frank but id rather race him with no issues so that i have no excuses :)

You wouldn't even try to run the Mustang that I tried to run the 1 time I went out to the local meet. Used the old traction excuse and something about needing baby Jesus. Last I checked I was fwd AND I even tried to do his race, drag radial or not.

I think your misleading ppl on this part, lets clear some up

*The mustang has a 125 shot
*Built 331 Stroker
*Does low rolls only (favors 20 rolls)

YOU have
*Drag radials
*LSD
*Laggier turbo

I Had
*Crappy 205 street tires
*No lSD
