Wow you picked the biggest jackass on 6gc to flame. Where to start.... First off street racing is immature. And by your post of swearing and gay-slams it shows your immaturity. We don't need that here. Constructive critizem is fine, but that junk doesn't fly. If you wanted to address launching and racing, why did you throw the street racing thing in there? Just ask, "What should I launch at?" ****, I'm pretty sure I made a thread of it like half a year ago. Search button is your friend. (BTW, you're torque peak is at 4,400rpm, so i launch there. But be sure to drop tire psi, cuz i drop 5psi and still hop like mad. I also pull 2.2 60footers tho  )I have street raced before. And I'm very lucky I didn't get arested or wreck. But once I hit the age of reason I saw street racing is immature and dumb. What if I'm driving like an idiot and make someone wreck? What if it's someone I care about? So now I go autocrossing or to the drag strip (which is where I basically live, cuz I'm there so much) Grammer is your friend. Please use it, it makes posts easier to read and better to help you. Like I said, I race on the track. Is my car slow? Yup. Is everyone on this board slow? 90% is. Unless you run 14s or better, you're not very impressive. But I'll tell you this, my car is enough to waste your celica. And I have timeslips to prove it. My HKS exhuast is surprisingly legal. But what would make you think it's illegal? I'd like to hear the technical side of that. I live in Indiana, so we're not very strict on exhuasts. As long as it's not too noisey, you're fine. As far as kid stuff goes....well did you even read your post? -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I hit 105 in the 1/4 with my last AWD Eclipse. Thats pretty damn fast enough. One, oops from a Civic next to you and poof your done. I wasn't about to bash racing (read my first post in this thread) however after reading the "your ******* gay" reply, I reconsidered. To me, racing is foolish. Its not that I haven't done it myself, but I reconsider now that I'm older. Are you in your 17 second Celica really THAT much of a badass if you beat a Dx Civic in the quarter mile. I like racing, I love racing, and if I ever get my Celica under 14... chances are I'd need more competition then the Dx owner with 100 dollars in neons around his car. I dont mind opening the car up once in a while, but I dont have to pull a Paul Walker every time I see Altezza tail-lights.
-Ti Also... see those little boxes... the more the person has the longer they've been here. SlowCelica has 3, which means a good amount and he's been here for a year. You've been here for a week. Also, slow is a jackass (lol - and you know its true  ) and isn't someone to pick a fight with. However, if you think you're REEEEEEAL good. Insult Sinner, BlkGt, Slow, and Andason at the same time. Boy, wheres my popcorn smiley.

Ohhh yeah. That's true You also didn't feild any of my questions kid. You also posted on an open thread. I didn't know what it was till I read it. And that still doesn't mean I can't express my opinion on it. An I a hypocrite of being a previous street racing then critizing it once I stopped? If a guy did drugs, stopped, then told you not to do them cuz its dangerous, would you call him a hypocrite? the 6GC elders have made their points, this thread is over. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

In the words of Dave Chappell "S**t N***A, sometime you gotta race!" >jk< i dont think (other than of course the legality of the issue) that opening up the car everynow and then is a bad thing. But, like stated be smart about it. Sometimes it's best to just know that you can or cannot hang with another driver than to put it to the test and face the concequences. As far as "that movie" tuners have been doing this sort of thing for a long time, and i think that if we were all inspired by that corporate fluff, the majority of the people on this board would be on a Honda/DSM forum. The people here know what thier cars are cabable of and want to do it because it's a part of who they are and what they love.

Pish posh. I hate this thread just for the simple fact it makes my brain think.
Racing near-stock Celicas is stupid. If you don't have a turbo or some serious work, then your Celica has nothing to prove. -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

I'm gonna break into the 16's!!! (insert Little Jon's YEAHHH) Thats right bitches - watch my 135HP beast roar down the open road as my MASSIVE short ram intake takes in the harsh cold air and pumps in through nothing but a stock exhaust system. And after I push a little black button on my steering wheel, I get pushed back into my seat as my .... cruise control turned on? -Ti |

Seems to me like you opened the topic of BS with your question.
To say you're smart with your illegal driving doesn't mean ****, one deer in the road, pothole or stupid driver and you're toast. So go ahead and die, I believe in darwinism anyways. I own a celica because it's a sexy looking car. Good overall suspension, good gas milage, decent speed. I know with the reliability of this car with some TLC it'll be beautiful. There's no other secrets to getting a better launch, they've done them all. About all else you can do would be advance your timing and run 91 octant. Hope that was constructive, I didn't mean to step on anybodies toes and TI, I was just giving you a hard time dood, you are right about the artists making their millions. I just believe lives are more important than money, lol. :bowdown; Dr. |

I end up street racing sometimes without realizing it..but..never in traffic. Also.. I love taking my Celica out on backroads and doing like 70+mph around turns..but then again.. I know driveways,streets,turns,etc,etc..so...It's more like a course.

it's always fun to do block racing, but that's once every 3 months that i let someone get to me (because honestly, i just hate the fact when a civic or eclipse pulls up and the driver is like, "yeah, i got this bitch") So, i just like to pull on people, the wonderul launch we get if you do it right, and cut it there. Other than that, take it to the track, highschool league or something

my celicas not slow in any way ........ heres what i do..... though most have been said before -if you cant afford high grip tires, lower tire pressure, make sure you raise it back up before you hit the highway -the less drag the better, a good aerodynamic body kit will help -loose the shopping cart spoiler produces drag and we really dont need it -if your dumb enough to do this advance your distributor timing(i dont know if the 5sfe can do this) -practice shifting technque -reaction time can detemine the winner from the get go, at red lights practice this -get a lightened flywheel and replace the clutch with a exedy organic -know your engine and know what it can do dont let your mouth get bigger than your engine -if possible keep it on the track, in so cal we have legal drag races, granted its only a 8th mile but still its fun -and above all else have fun |
