Mine is lowered a little more than an inch right now. I gotta raise it back up soon.

As for the next rallycross, it's supposed to be next weekend on the 13th but it may be cancelled. We'll see what unfolds over the next few days.

Oh yeah, and the cost is $30 for non-SCCA members and $25 for members. All you need is a car that will pass a small tech inspection and a helmet with a snell rating of M95 or better. Usually there are loaner helmets available. I willl have my extra one there as well.

So tell me this, I know you can drive so why havent you hit the 10 second mark on your setup yet. You have quite a few passes on this setup under your belt if this is the setup your talking about, so whats your best time, and why not a 10 yet?

I have not said anything about running a 10, cause I haven't. I'm glad you know me so well! Who say I can drive? I don't think I can. Hence the reason I haven't run a 10 yet. Will I ever? Fuck I know. Is it because my won't run long enough to give it shot? Fuck no. Every time I wanted to go the track last year it was running and I went. Best time with this set up a, very weak 11.6@128. Not a 10 cause I can't drive the car. Just to much power for me to handle.

Just wondering didn't your tranny break a few times also??

Nash · 02-06-2005

Yeah, my tranny broke twice last year. 1st time I broke 2 shift forks. That was at the track. The second time I broke a shift rail end. That happened about 2 blocks from home.

santa · 02-06-2005

yes those are nice one's when they break like a block from your house. I remember new years eve last year when my Case exploded 2 blocks from my house.

Your saying your car is capable of it. Your car is capable of the fastest time it has ran IMO.

And I was assuming you had to be a decent driver being you have the fastest 20g time.

You got me there, you are just to smart for me. My car sucks, I suck at driving, I guess I just plain suck, but at least I don't drive a neoN.

Then your car is capable of a 14!

And Nash's big problem last year was an uncooperative tranny.

Jacek · 02-07-2005

I'm sorry but this is just fucking retarded.. dumb_ricer, show me a car that has run 10s or 4s or whatever that has NEVER broken a part. I've seen even neons at the track break down when running 17s. Want to explain to me this? If you want to have a fast car, your going to break parts, period.

LOL, my friend's bone stock Neon broke an axle at Rock Falls by slipping the clutch at 2000rpm...

slowHonduh · 02-07-2005

Hahahahaha

Now that is some funnys shit right there.

"TOO MUCH TORQUE" It must have been the expresso edition.

A//// Guy · 02-07-2005

Yea Dumbricer did have point a while back in this thread... but now he lost it and looks like a dumb ricer. bahah I crack myself up... :/

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 02-07-2005

And what was that point? That 10 second DSMs break? That is common sense. So do 10 second Neons and 10 second Mustangs and 10 second Hondas...

Back when he was talking about how alot of people like to talk about their nice setups and say they will run X time and make X HP. I agreed how he shouldnt have been singled out and picked on for driving a honda and being on this board. Thats all I agreed with. But alot of people have made their goals last year, alot of others just talk fluff or things break.. oh well thats how it goes.

Anyway.. so back to the challenging part

What exactly in this comment I made makes you all jump on me. OMG I have an opinion, ahhh. I simply stated that I dont believe a car a capable of anything UNTIL it actually does it.

As for you all jumping on me for 10sec DSM's breaking, give me a fucking break. I'm well aware that any car running a respectable time is going to break but it seems like DSM's running 15's and DSM's running 10's both break A LOT. And its never really big things either, its just a bunch of small things added together.

Now i'm going to jump on you. Did you read what you just wrote?? Do you have a fucking dictionary near you? OPEN IT!!! Check the meaning of capable some time moron. So if i you built a top fuel dragster that is capable of doing the 1/4 mile in 4 seconds @ 300+mph, but when you try to race it, you can only pull an 8 seconds 1/4. Would that make the car only capable of an 8 second 1/4 mile? If you think this way then you are fucking retarded and need to be banned from this forum. Cuz idiots like you are just making everyone else dumber for having to read your bullshit.

It's way to late for you kid. Don't even try to save yourself. If you didn't drive a neon that might help, but i doubt it. You dug yourself a pretty big hole and it's pretty funny watching you try to dig yourself back out of it.

**JET** · 02-09-2005

Holy crap, I agree with Honda boy! What is this world coming to??

santa · 02-10-2005

Does anyone want to go ride bikes??? lol
