agreed. I'd hit his girlfriend though, with a steak. or some fried chicken.

Lol? I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.Obviously Spawned this guy knows absolutely nothing about cars, considering he had 5 or 6 people helping him fix it. Forget was he says and take him to the track, then show him the AWD power.

Looking at his GF... I'd say the engine wasn't the only thing that was 'abducted'... The word pimp does come to mind though

14b, tell us!!!

In his build I don't see any pictures of a roll bar, nor any mention of one. Correct me if im wrong, but I thought you needed a bar in a convertible if running faster than 13.49.

"A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49." - Frequently Asked NHRA Tech Questions

But I guess it also depends on the track, whether they enforce the rules or not.

I am enjoying reading these comments.

id say a "JDM" Ebay TD04.....because i have what looks like say same thing

 

[SpawnedX]

I am pretty sure it is an eBay one, failure goes to me on that one though. Keep in mind the person whose turbo that is, is not MARTINI, it is a separate kid who has done nothing stupid, so don't bash that person. He couldn't get the O2 housing or turbo manifold to bolt down so I went to help him, turns out he tightened down two bolts fully before getting the others started on both manifold and O2 housing, so I simply showed him that if he backed out the tightened bolts a little he could shift the manifold and housing enough to line up and start the other bolts. In my actual desire to help someone, I forgot to look at the compressor housing and fins, . However, that wastegate rod isn't actually straight, it angles just like the one on my authentic MHI.

 

[JusMX141]

It's not an eBay 16G. The standard 7cm turbine housing and bent wastegate actuator arm are the giveaway.

 

[SpawnedX]

Hmmm. Well maybe he got lucky, I did put my hand in and check for shaft play and there was none, and he got the thing for $75.00. Maybe he got lucky.

Pedo Bear is my hero.

It's not.

You're correct sir.

Our home track is New England Dragway, which is NHRA, and tech there is somewhat strict. You run low 13s in a vert without a bar and you're out, no question about it.

With the hardtops they'll give you a little bit of leeway, but not much. If you're consistently running 11.49 or better, you've got to meet spec. One pass here and there under 11.5 and they'll usually look the other way. A high 10s pass and you're def getting tossed.

Rhode Island has a pretty piss poor DSM scene as is. I just got sick of this guy in particular because he has been this arrogant know-nothing that claims to be a "DSM expert" since when I tried to get RIDSM going and this was the last straw.

I decided to just stick with NEDSM as their requirements to keep an account scare away most clowns like this and is full of people with real knowledge. I feel so miniscule their, definitely the low end of the knowledge pole, for the record Matt is on NEDSM too, and he knows his crap.

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

That guy's fugly slut had mosquito bites for bewbs.

 

[kidtsi]

so your not gonna tell us mike?

 

[dallu22]

Jesus they have their own little F&F wannabe forum, who the F*** sells these people their cars

 

[1cleanreddsm]

Thanks, Mike.

Serious crew on NEDSM, that's for sure.

Do you think your car will be ready by April? Even if not i think they're still planning the 16G shootout for opening day (April 1) so you should make the trip up to the track.

I'll be there, probably toasting my clutch. With a little luck they'll kick me out before the clutch goes.

I am going to show up to the track in April with her, ready to roll or not. I have some big ticket items left to buy that will make it tight, but I am hoping for the best. My biggest concerns right now are the intercooler and the cams and injectors which will put me back $1100.00.

Well good luck, i hope to see you there hunting for an 11 second pass.

Should be a solid crowd of DSMers!

 

[eligst21]

yeah definitely threw me off. ha. but that guy is a tool. what a loser. his spyder is ridiculous. no way is it as fast as he claims. if the bug got beat by a t28 fuel cutting gst, not was is it that fast as he claims. funny story.

 

[awddarrell]

Here is more of his "build" for those interested:

MARTINI's 99 Spyder

Was that a coat hanger holding up that muffler?

 

[SpawnedX]

I forgot the stupid reason he claimed the bumper was hanging wrong..wait no I didn't, oh yeah, because it's a crappy Megan exhaust...I have a Megan on my GST doesn't hang like that.
