Speaking of Subaru, I wish I could find what Jay Leno had to say about Suburu's, classic. I personally like the Legacy from a fear years back.

My take is to stop increasing taxes for public education. Public education is not the answer to all education for children. If I want the best education for my children, then I need to fork over the cash to pay for private school. States cannot afford to give every child an education to get them everything in life. They are there to provide the basic necessities for education and nothing else (thats why it's public education). If the parents are so motivated in the kids education, then spend the time and resources to either A) progress faster and taker higher level classes, or B) Pay the money for private schools.

At least you get it.

:fuckyeah:

 

Agreed. I get it also. It's not about out performing a vette. It's about driving something that whole neighborhoods can collectively barely afford. I personally would reinvest the money, but I could see myself in my younger days doing it (not that I ever came .000005% close to affording it).

Yea I never had to worry about this with the quattro but I have a friend who has one and he said he just changes to winter tires and its not bad in winter.

 

FWD cars in the snow are fine. The only thing with them is that once you start to spin, its dicey to get it back in line. RWD likes to go sideways for every excuse in the book, but you can give it gas to get it under control way more than a FWD. You just have to adjust your driving to suit either one.

 

If your just after a DD, I would consider an older civic. It could save you some money and parts are easy to find. Plus, you have a ton of engine swap options.

Dam good stories. I have to throw one out there. How about a packing lot is the meeting place and a mass group does it cannonball style for cash. It's been done in Mexico(nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The last legit one I can recall was in the late 90's in another state.

It was awesome. 3.70 near my place in the morning and 4.15 after work.

At first I thought it was a joke...his buddies vinyled his car as a prank. Then I read more and it was legit.

Good move. Your rx7 is going to be a single digit quarter car and the tow truck will keep miles off the rx7.

My bad I meant Impreza. Dam that is going to be a fun car.

No shit. Cool as swap. Only if you could find the early 2 door wrx from way back when.

That would be cool shit. The mustang has a chassis that you can do alot with and you have a ton of rear end options.

 

How about a Pinto chassis? It would save a ton of weight and still have all the options of a mustang.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I will definately have to check it out. I miss the sounds of 48 ida's or a draw-through holley. It use to be big in Hawaii and started to come back right before I moved here.

Somebody in a pinto just put down a 10.8 on a stock 2.3 with 200k from the junkyard. Grant it that 30 pounds of boost were needed, but it's possible.

edit. I forgot rwd

What transmission are you going to run?

No one is knocking Brent's car. Multiple people stated that is was the fastest door slammer and that 4g63 are good motors. At the same time it's not the fastest 4 cylinder regardless of rail, factory backed or not. Another one to throw out there is John Sheppard and his 7.7 Talon street car, John Hubers 2.3 based mustang, and Chris Bubetz running 8's in the early 90's in a vw. The list goes on and there are a ton of options, it just depends what you want to do.

Critter7, you are right. I think Brent's car may even be a 3/4 chassis car.

I wonder if that is part of that system you see one the boards about avg time to get to different highways/interstates.

 

I think you're right.

Brents is the fastest door slammer for now. There is Fisher's buggy (VW Pauter engine), a 2.7 Tacoma engined Corralla, and I think sr20 Dastsun in Puerto Rico that have a good change at beating his record.

Dan Nase Ecotech got down to a 6.4:

 

VW Paradise got a 6.53:

 

Also another forum that is often overlooked is the sand drags. The are dominated by Pauter 3.5 liter VW based engines. These guys have stupid amount of money into there cars. Below is the national associations website

Brent's car is flat out amazing but people were going on and on about he was the fastest 4 in the world when guys were running his times 5 years earlier. It's just they weren't the popular Honda/DSM engines and get over looked due to it. Unfortunately the import racing associations and NHRA are very biased and constantly change rules to keep non-traditional engines from competing because they don't have the huge fan following across the country.

An upgrade that takes up the whole front bumper.

The guy I saw was black and I am sure he had a front mount intercooler.

No shit. I didn't know that. If I remember correctly the Solstice transmission has also started to find it's way into Supras.

No shit. I didn't expect older VW's in Columbus. Hopefully I can get a notchback around Christmas time and get back into vw's.

My brother in law would know(civil engineer for Gahanna). I should bump into him next weekend. I think Furloaf is right. Cities study the most dangerous sections to find out where the most accidents are, what are the speed bottle necks, and think of ways to fix them.
