Well, some of you may have read the post where I was talking about putting the nitrous on my buddy's Mr2...well the day before I had to go to jail, he wanted to go race up in one of the bigger cities around here(funny...isn't racing what I was going to jail for? somethings never change...)...well anyways, we drove around for about 2 hours, got something to eat...there was NOBODY out wanting to run..well as we were leaving, this '00+ or so Focus Zx3 or something like that was weaving in and out of traffic...we pull up to him at about 30/35MPH...he looked over and gunned it...pulled like 2 car lengths on us(MR2s are slow w/out boost of some sort)...well his girlfriend was sitting in the passenger seat laughing...so we had to redeem the car, lol...we caught up to him at a few lights down...my buddy armed the switch and let it roll...1st gear about dead even, 2nd gear pulled ahead, 3rd gear...about two car lengths ahead. That focus had that "WHAT THE ****?" look on his face...and his girl didn't look happy either, lol...guess he didnt get any that night https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png stupid ford owners(no offense)....

dude you got NOS jk good kill https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Rotaryman88 06-13-2002 10:05 PM

Yea, I think NOS is a big cheater method, but hell...it works ya know. I'll probably throw a 50 shot on the SE-X for shits and grins...

N20 isn't bad. just blows engines too much https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

*taps fingers*



lol good kill...... cheated but good kill! A kill is a kill



lol Lets see how much the n20 helps him when he runs up against an SVT focus....

Rotaryman88 06-13-2002 10:36 PM

I've got the 150HP jets sitting right here in case of an SVT alert, lol...

Twin89Stangs 06-14-2002 01:00 AM

lol

sweet!



We got an MR2 I do like it... but it is a torqueless bastard! But fun if you willing to wind it up 5000-8000 Rpm's! Below 4 Grand nothing going on!

But man it can corner! Sweet cars!



150hp jet in an N/A Mr2 5 spd would be fun. Wonder if it would handle it????żżżż

That may be enough for it to consider challenging a 96-02 Cobra... but not to win though it might take out some unsuspecting GT's and Z28's!!

The SVT Focus isn't ****! I can't rember what the hp and 1/4 mile figures were, but I know I wasn't impressed.

Well said. :P

Twin89Stangs 06-14-2002 12:18 PM

Its not bad... 15.4 in the 1/4... but it is much more impressive on the track... blowing away the RSX Type S and the VW GTI



Finally Domestics are cleaning up the import scene

Rotaryman88 06-14-2002 01:03 PM

Well, I'm not sure about the 5SFE motor holding up to the 150 shot in my buddy's MR2...we put a 75 shot in it and started to bog a little...not enough fuel...we said "what the hell" and put the 150 shot in it(we're planning on rebuilding the motor next month anyways..its our other team car)...well, we shot the 150 to it, the car jumped forward a little, backfired and then shut off, lol....he is ordered the S-AFC today to help control the fuel, and we'll probably get the 75 shot in safely for the next few weeks...we're going to the track this thursday(only 1/8 mile though)...we'll let you know how it turned out, lol.

Those cars are pretty good. There are some cool British cars that we don't get to see, but I don't know about the quality.

Twin89Stangs 06-14-2002 03:28 PM

Get the used FD. With the leftover money you can use it to pound on Vipers. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

ErnieT said that the problem with his motor was the PFC...who knows. If they're doing well now, then good. It's better for all of us to have more people with good running RX-7's.
