TTQ B4U Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice ride my friend. Looking at you really makes me feel old too We left OSU-N at the same time it seems. Just wasn't sure if you recognized my plate/car. For the record, you are definitely the most speed limit conscious person on CR that I know Good for you. I play with fate but that's life. Bring it on New Albany! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on New Albany! LOL, that is by far the nicest way you could have put that. I saw him on Sunbury road the other day, and thought to myself, "Damn, he drives like a fucking pussy" lol. Nice car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture is old, Dick. My Calipers are black and a few of the stickers have come off. Nice seeing you today Tim, fwiw I felt like I was driving "fast" to try and catch up with you. Usually I drive slow(er) than hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black calipers are the way to go, painted my wifes black and they look great. Said the car looked good, and I meant it. PS, you really do drive amazingly slow. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I drive the Speed limit. Double. haha, that was me. No fly by, I just drive decently fast. Usually 55 on sunbury rd. I was hoping you were up for some "spirited" driving though. Now I realize that you were pushing your comfort zone going the speed limit!!!!! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 There is another 3 hatch around westerville that I used to see, it was debadged front and rear, was that you before you painted your wheels? used to see it coming from spring/tussic onto maxtown a lot earlier this year.

Tripleskate Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 My Friends give me major shit about it but I'm very concious of everything happening on the road around me. I'm paranoid that some dumb motherfucker is gonna hit my car one day and I'll go apeshit on them. I don't want to be responsible for the ensuing blood bath. Also, don't want to give the Police a reason to pull me over and cite me for "Speeding, reckless op, loud exhaust, tint" or whatever else they can imagine! Besides, I save driving fast for the occasional abondoned road/AutoX. Tim, your Speed sounds amazing! It makes me wish I wasn't an idiot and found a higher miles Speed3 and picked that up instead!

Was it black? Then probably Me. I work at Polaris, so that area is always a hotspot for me. Next time you see Me, wave or something! It's always cool to see more CR members on the road. Lets see here, I had my wheels the OEM finish for a while and got bored, then went a grey/gunmetal color, http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k10/tripleskate/DSC02166.jpg then finally where I'm at now, green.

TTQ B4U Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Tim, your Speed sounds amazing! It makes me wish I wasn't an idiot and found a higher miles Speed3 and picked that up instead! Thanks :thumbup: I did a couple 4th gear pulls jumping around that one car and the POS truck. I commend you for driving with caution. It took every bit of control not to whip around that Bath Fitter van going 45mph exactly. If it wasn't a construction zone, I'd have been around him without thinking. BTW....the exhaust....bone stock Flyby.....I had to laugh at the SVT Focus with his louvered hood and 6000 rpm revs on 270. I pulled on him like he was my bastard stepchild. He wouldn't line up with me on Sawmill but did proceed to do a flyby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad winding it out puts you way over the highway speed limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad winding it out puts you way over the highway speed limits. Boost is limited in 1st and 2nd. As it is she'll spin all the way through 2nd so that's a good thing. 3rd and 4th however are full boost gears. Rolls start at 40mph in 3rd which is dead on at 3,000rpms. Full boost, turbo spooling from a 40 and she'll pull through 3-4-5 to 120mph with ease. Key is to short-shift at 5,800rpm to avoid the flat zone of power where the ECM protects the KO4 from cooking itself. Days like today, cool with damp roads suck though as WOT is still useless in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days like today, cool with damp roads suck though as WOT is still useless in them. Yeah, I read about the limited 1/2 gears. I always wondered why they didn't just lower the redline on the MS3? The GTI pulls nicely in 2nd, but 3rd is definitely my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power goes flat above 5800. the one thing I don't like about the car is it takes 3 gears to cross 60mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power goes flat above 5800. the one thing I don't like about the car is it takes 3 gears to cross 60mph. Is that for bragging rights (0-60 times)? or because of the actual number of shifts? There are tons of "performance" cars that either benefit or get hurt by the number of times the have to shift in the measured performance stats like 0-60. I don't really see it as anything but bragging rights though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
