supra vs. audi A4 (stock) won

from a dig:

supra vs. bmw 550i won

I see black whispy smoke from most modded turbo cars. especially poorly tuned ones. Gas burns with a black smoke when it isnt attomized, as in burning in the exhaust or not completly burning inside the engine. run your car at a 10:1 af ratio and see what the exhaust looks like lol.

Oh, And if it helps, I ran a 15.2 and a 15.58 in my mr2 at Etown on saturday. I beat an e class ebnz (15.7) and lost to a 10 sec mustang. lol.

I havent raced any real fast cars but here it goes:

280zx (Exhaust, Intake)- won
Mustang L6- won
Riced out Probe- won
Honda Civic 1994- won
Chevy Tahoe 2003 (Exhaust)- won
Cavalier 199?(Rice)- won
Toyota Camry 2005- won
I havent been racing that much. :)

86.5 supra vs 92 corolla - Won
86.5 supra vs 2000ish wrx turbo wagon - lost
86.5 supra vs 2000ish cadi cts - won
86.5 supra vs Freinds 96 Mercury Cougar - lost
86.5 supra vs 90 Acura Lengend - lost

I try not to race my car cause it needs a tune up and the car is unsafe being as old as it is and very under maintaned before i bought it.

i jus rememberd

those new turbo saabs
i was in 5th doing 75 already when he started to catch up
and he passed me like a was doing 30

but from a roll
this new sentra challenged me once
well we have more top speed than that car
cuz i let him pass me, and made himself look like a fool
when i pulled up, blew a kiss to his girl
and dusted him

Yes my thread is still alive!! I still havent gotten any good races in my mr2! except vs my friends civic, but thats no contest. I kinda raced an older(94 ish) bmw m3, not really

here's the deal
i got jackd by the guy that i bought the car from
he said he did the HG but, the mechanic that i brought the car said he torqued it too much so the headgasket might as well be blown

but on my way to a new shop
may i reming u that my car was overheating already and spewing thick white smoke already
sum punk in a cobalt, decided to show off his riced out car
he revved his engine while on a stoplight
my car has smoke coming out of the engine bay which he thought was hilarious
so he probly thought that it was gonna be an easy win for him

im getting a new engine so i cared less for the one that i got right now
b4 heading to the new shop
i shimmed the wastegate and was boosting 10 psi (theoretically)
it was freezing outside so i ddnt think i was gonna hit fuelcut anyways

light went green, my car still had the power
i dusted him on second gear,
and when i went to third i lookd on my side mirror
im guessing he was at least 7 cars behind me

proves that even if these cars are sick/ dying
smoke and everything
she can still kick sum ass

the kill:
my dying 87 turbo vs cobalt, beautifully won

cobalt SS??

not completly sure
since i gave the guy one look
and he pissed me off already
he was laughing his @$$ off
but he ddnt have that smirk on his face when i lookd at him on the next stoplight
and then i was already in the left turn lane cuz i had to make a U to get to the shop
i saw sum ice on the road, and when the left turn signal went green
i drifted the U while i was looking at him
pretty funny, that look on his face, kinda made my day tho lol

it was a loud car tho.
it was lowered
rims and everything
but not sure if it was an ss
if it wasnt, too bad for him, he should have never pissed me off
if it was an ss , still too bad for him, cuz he's a crappy driver

like i always say
there can be thousands of things that can go wrong on a car
but its pretty simple to diagnose
'its either the hundreds of things connected to the wheel, or the one behind it
