Are we ready for another Austin/SA Meet

I'd be down for sure. I'm a DSM newbie in Houston and i want to start getting involved in the DSM scene.
 
That sounds like a good idea...meeting up on the day of the import face off then heading off at night to get some runs in. We could arrange to simply meet at the raceway then , and I'll work on it, arrange for a meeting spot later on in SA...since that's where we'll be already.
 
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

Lets hit on your points for me shall we...
True I did have drag radials, at 38psi and they still spun didn't they?
I spin 2 tires instead of 1. The LSD does NOTHING for this car in a straight line but leave 2 black marks when it comes into boost, now the turns are a different story.
The turbo is laggier, but we did his 20 roll and if you recall (being in the car and all) the car responds INSTANTLY in 1st gear. It actually will for most races cause I can use a lower gear than most due to the raised rev limiter.

Now to some of the points on you...
Buy some real tires! Not my fault you paid for all that rice, err I mean chrome/powder coating instead of sticky tires. It does look good though. :shhh:
The LSD isn't holding you back like you think on a roll race.

Now lets get to the hard facts...
You are splitting hairs with our cars when the truth is you should have run him to see. He is just a typical p**** mustang owner that will rarely do rolls most people do. As you saw, he was long gone the first time we went out (to scout) and we just drove past him. The only reason he sent his pansy over is because he had never seen the car before and thought it would be an easy kill (well, it was but that was driver/mechanic issues) which is why he also agreed to do my roll. Which still suprises me I never showed up on any of his girls videos from the later runs. :rolleyes: You on the other hand have been going to damn near every meet and your car is known. We will go along with the fact it is fast (for the sake of this discussion) and that is why he only wants to do his roll against you. He believes it is an easy kill. We will never know because although you had a potent setup, you never raced his race because of 2 MINOR things that are easily overcome with these cars.


Now, get your a** out there and do some work on that rear end swap. If I have to text you and hound you daily on here to have your car done when summer (how many seasons do we even have anymore) hits next March, I will.

dsm boy. I am doing an awd swap right now it's not that hard I would get a donor car. you'll need alot of little thing.ill let you know how it ends up.
 
boosted28
not much differance. I think it's harder on a spyder there's extra framing that needs to be cut out. I just finished the gas tank next rear sub frame hopefully tomorrow.
 
oh I see richard do a swap. sorry I thoght you where making fun of me. everyone I've talked to asked why not just buy one. I keep saying that's not the point. sorry
 
We had one helluva meet in Austin last night. Plenty of Mitsus in the crowd from what I saw.
 
Ok boys and girls now that we are back on topic, the first thing we need to decide on is a date.

My vote is for the 13th, mainly because I don't want it to interfere with x-mas preparations.
 
When is the meet, I may finally be able to go cause i am in the finishing stages of my rebuild. My car is going from ashy to classy!! Let me know hopefully I can make it.
 
Its actually going to be put back together on the 13th. Probably wont make it. The machine shop had to cut my crank, so that pretty much ruined my plans. :(
