f-body status list... drvngstorm05 07-11-2005, 06:46 PM
i just read this in another thread and i thought it was something good to talk about... just how many of us exactly have cars that are not working? or can run but are in the process of being worked on? and who's cars are tearing up rice and upholding the f-body name? my car is down right now, sorting out power steering problems, speedometer problem, and a short circuit... Mr. Luos 07-11-2005, 07:13 PM Mine was running HARD yesterday morning. Took it out to get the gas tank close to empty. Then we tore it down. Probably won't be running again for 2 months, maybe longer. Damn valvecovers took FOREVER to cool down. 89IROC&RS 07-11-2005, 07:22 PM well, i should be allowed to vote twice....... Mrs. Scarlet - aka 1989 RS TBI 305 - R.I.P. shes dead and gone, found frame damage durring my attempt to repair her from the last accidnet, now shes a parts car. She Devil - aka 1989 IROC TPI 350 - runs like a top, starts up with one maybe two cranks, and finally has the front bumper cover on, need to find my rivit gun to get the chin spoiler mounted. next is the dash assembly, and shell be street legal again :) instantkevin 07-11-2005, 07:24 PM yea... mine is still in the garage. sitting there because I can't afford to buy $60 self-aligning rocker arms. After 6 months and $5,000 . . . I'm not driving because a $60 purchase. Bullsh*t. Payday is thursday though. FormulaLT1 07-11-2005, 07:45 PM I am very happy with the current status of my new/old pride and joy. Genopsyde 07-11-2005, 07:51 PM empty engine bay, waiting on block machining completion still, currently installing transgo kit in new tranny on bench. 89camaroperson 07-11-2005, 08:22 PM As long as my engine is nice and cool i could take a stock civic........i had problems with a ford escape(small suv whatever it is) I was depressed for a couple days after that.....once my engine is about in the middle of the second and middle marker on the temp guage its al over and im not goin anywhere fast.....sucks......Mine sounds mean though. But like i said i have problems with minivans and suv's.......im gonna go cry now..... 89IROC&RS 07-11-2005, 08:37 PM have you run it for codes? stepho 07-11-2005, 11:56 PM running put with tons of problems. Over-heated today and I had to push it off the road. Good news though! Tomorrow is pay-day and I will be getting a new Radiator! 89camaroperson 07-12-2005, 12:10 AM no codes....only thing i can come up with as a possible cause is a partially blown head gasket or a hairline crack somewhere that opens up when it heats up. Mr. Luos 07-12-2005, 12:17 AM Right before I took mine apart....I was throwing 8 codes. :lol: Genopsyde 07-12-2005, 12:25 AM no codes....only thing i can come up with as a possible cause is a partially blown head gasket or a hairline crack somewhere that opens up when it heats up. are you blowing white smoke and or losing coolant, if not, then I doubt the problem is that major. Vortec350S10 07-12-2005, 12:39 AM Started with a free 85 base model, nearly 7 grand later and still looks like crap but runs and handles awsome Genopsyde 07-12-2005, 12:42 AM I need a sport coupe to work on when i'm done with my rs x8xViperx6x 07-12-2005, 01:52 AM Mine runs fine, with the occasional problem ( usually simple ) But I kept up with a 3000gt yesterday, but then at about 75 he started to pull the win. Most any civic, some eclipse, and most any minivans. I am mistakened for a v8 so ALOT of people dont want to race me. Kinda funny acctually. Savage Messiah 07-12-2005, 02:05 AM In between. Runs and rips, but still not done with accident repairs (DIE UPS) flatlander757 07-12-2005, 09:28 AM i put kicking ass, even though i am bone stock, i freaking raped a 94-95ish mustang gt yesterday... from a roll... in an A4. so far im 6-0. the only real wins that mean anything to me though are the mustang and the bmw z4 i killed about a month or so ago. and actually the grand prix gtp as well only because i messed up launching and spun up to 50mph or so. lol. ------------------------- on a side note... im going to photoshop my own "OWNED" picture for camaro owners.. a photo of a camaro spanking the hell out of another car(maybe a mustang, just because its like an epic battle, lol) and it's going to read "CamarOWNED!!1!" or something to that liking. if you guys think you could help me with ideas how to set it up, PM me or get me on AIM - "flatlander757" DO NOT REPLY TO THIS IN THIS THREAD. Link85x 07-12-2005, 09:45 AM Don't know why i put kickass, but since i put those headers on, i feel like i can kick some ass now. Suspension needs to get done badly, put i can definitely put at fight against someone now, unless i'm completely out of there league. wrightz28 07-12-2005, 09:54 AM no codes....only thing i can come up with as a possible cause is a partially blown head gasket or a hairline crack somewhere that opens up when it heats up. Check out your radiator cap first. I swore on my life I had a blown head based on mass air bubbles in the radiator and overflow, ended up being mainly a cap that would not pressurize the system and lowered the boiling point dramaticly. My '85 Z28 is runs like Bin laden from SEALs but this weekend I need to throw on some tie rods and brakes. Then it's off to the sniff test before the state suspends me, it's only 16 months overdue what's the big freakin deal:) Plans for this winter are the same as last resolve alot of body panel issues & sub frame isssue. Sucks having a car that runs strong but physically is becoming intolerable to look at. Oh, one last thing, I am having an issue with repeat failures of the thermostat gasket. Is there a massive defect with the water neck on the TPIs? I'm going to check for warpage this time, last time I put a stat in I had a hunch the neck was having problems, but nobody had the right replacement in stock. 89IROC&RS 07-12-2005, 09:56 AM runs like Bin laden from SEALs LMAO philly rs 07-12-2005, 07:05 PM lol well my baby runs her ass off, i decided not to be a biatch anymore and used both nitrous shots and she layed down 340 on the dyno last weekend (its been raining so the air has been much cooler than ususal) but i recently purchased a ls6 with a 6 speed tranny to throw in, now i just need to get the odds and ends to get the swap going, hope to be done around the holidays. i recently put it down on some fool in a evo on thurseday, he started running his damn lip at a red light about how he smokes camaros on a daily, then had a nerve to ask me was my car a ss??? wtf, i have rs badges all over the damn car but the way he got spanked he should think i have an ss...smh philly rs 07-12-2005, 07:07 PM oh by the way i think i may be able to get a bit more out of my new rebuilt 3800 it needs to be tuned a bit more and how it runs when the throttle is wide open needs to be twerked a bit. Viper_Storm 07-12-2005, 07:20 PM lol well my baby runs her ass off, i decided not to be a biatch anymore and used both nitrous shots and she layed down 340 on the dyno last weekend (its been raining so the air has been much cooler than ususal) but i recently purchased a ls6 with a 6 speed tranny to throw in, now i just need to get the odds and ends to get the swap going, hope to be done around the holidays. i recently put it down on some fool in a evo on thurseday, he started running his damn lip at a red light about how he smokes camaros on a daily, then had a nerve to ask me was my car a ss??? wtf, i have rs badges all over the damn car but the way he got spanked he should think i have an ss...smh lol :grinno: instantkevin 07-13-2005, 02:20 AM As long as my engine is nice and cool i could take a stock civic........i had problems with a ford escape(small suv whatever it is) I was depressed for a couple days after that.....once my engine is about in the middle of the second and middle marker on the temp guage its al over and im not goin anywhere fast.....sucks......Mine sounds mean though. But like i said i have problems with minivans and suv's.......im gonna go cry now..... My girlfriend and I have an '02 Escape and those things move. I was shocked as hell when i first hit the gas in it! It can spin the wheels (front wheel drive, mind you) all the way thru first gear and into second. And they get to 80mph pretty quickly. A lot more performance than you would expect from a small SUV. Don't feel too bad, just start modding. Earlsfat 07-13-2005, 11:47 AM twerked a bit. WTF is TWERKED??? My maro runs like a fart in the wind... cut her loose and she's gone. BUT.. I still have the #3 cylinder way low PSI problem, trans needs rebuilt (I think), and could use some freshening up: new carb, new headers, new front rims and tires (ones on there are way to skinny for me), new brake pads, power brake booster, etc. And would someone get their ass up to Philly so I can race someone??? No one ever wants to race around here. WTF??? philly rs 07-13-2005, 07:02 PM if i ever get brave enough to drive my car home ill race u. im all for a good run skriFF 07-13-2005, 07:20 PM Well my car was down for about a 4 month period while I replaced the tranny, lifters, pushrods, and connecting rod bearings. I finally got it running last night and had it checked for codes. It says I have a cam position error but thats it. The worst part is that last night around 2am it suddenly wouldnt start, so I could be in the process of replacing a couple more things. HOORAY! GTStang 07-13-2005, 08:12 PM My Mustang has been doing it's impression of Camaro for a year now sitting in my garage on jack stands and in grey primer:evillol: Dam I get sidetracked to easily..... Hey Linx where in Mass are you? When I'm finally back on the road we should meet up and tape some action for AF. FormulaLT1 07-13-2005, 08:21 PM Hey Linx where in Mass are you? When I'm finally back on the road we should meet up and tape some action for AF. :confused: Get together and tape some action?. For the love of all things good, keep that tape to yourself :eek7: Savage Messiah 07-13-2005, 09:25 PM :confused: Get together and tape some action?. For the love of all things good, keep that tape to yourself :eek7: remeber... stang driver = confused... :icon16: GTStang 07-13-2005, 10:45 PM :confused: Get together and tape some action?. For the love of all things good, keep that tape to yourself :eek7: Figures a Firebird driver would find something gay in any statement. philly rs 07-14-2005, 03:53 PM hell i thought when his mustang was acting like a camaro for the last year i thought he was gonna say its fast....go figure. damn mustang drivers, always pointing out the down side of our cars. if a mustang were ment to go as fast as a camaro it would reach speeds required to break stuff. slow cars last 4ever.....god bless the mustang Viper_Storm 07-14-2005, 03:57 PM lmao Earlsfat 07-14-2005, 04:44 PM ... if a mustang were ment to go as fast as a camaro it would reach speeds required to break stuff. slow cars last 4ever.....god bless the mustang If a mustang were meant to go as fast as a camaro???? it would BE a camaro.:smokin: Specifically a 1970 Maro with a big-ass 454, M22, and nuts so big they leave pot holes in the pavement (even when running on 7 cylinders).:naughty: :evillol: :grinyes: :lol2: :lol: HAR... BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 1986Z28 07-15-2005, 08:42 AM If a mustang were meant to go as fast as a camaro???? it would BE a camaro.:smokin: Specifically a 1970 Maro with a big-ass 454, M22, and nuts so big they leave pot holes in the pavement (even when running on 7 cylinders).:naughty: :evillol: :grinyes: :lol2: :lol: HAR... BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! lolol :lol2: DVS LT1 07-15-2005, 12:18 PM I drove my Z last Saturday for the first time since November (was the first time I even saw my babe since then). I ran her the whole day and it was great being behind the wheel, but she's still got issues (which is why I decided to write off the whole summer and incorporate all these fixes into the tear down this fall) Her issues… At least one scorched ignition wire, Minor fluid leaks from the behind the water pump, intake, and transmission, An optispark and coil that have been sitting in this oil for a good 3+ years, Catalytic converter that’s come apart internally, PCM program that I’m pretty sure has gotten corrupted by crossing power programmer tuning, module tuning, and in-house GM tool tuning, Her symptoms… Won’t turn over until at least the second or third attempt, Abnormally low idle (only 500 RPM when warmed up), Shitty breaking at low speeds (thanks to the above), Oil pressure gets sporadic when nearing time for an oil change (pressure rises during acceleration then suddenly dips down, then rises again) And the sound of tin cans rattling underneath the car, She looks fabulous – like a brand new car – but now she really sounds like a ten year old car… rattling and chugging and coughing LOL No worries though; she’ll be running like a champ next spring. GTStang 07-15-2005, 03:00 PM If a mustang were meant to go as fast as a camaro???? it would BE a camaro.:smokin: Specifically a 1970 Maro with a big-ass 454, M22, and nuts so big they leave pot holes in the pavement (even when running on 7 cylinders).:naughty: :evillol: :grinyes: :lol2: :lol: HAR... BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's funny cause a I would rather have 69 Boss429, 4-speed toploader, 9" wit dragpack. You can call it the Castrator cause it would cut those lil balls of your Camaro right off. :smokin: GTStang 07-15-2005, 03:03 PM hell i thought when his mustang was acting like a camaro for the last year i thought he was gonna say its fast....go figure. damn mustang drivers, always pointing out the down side of our cars. if a mustang were ment to go as fast as a camaro it would reach speeds required to break stuff. slow cars last 4ever.....god bless the mustang It is like a Camaro in speed.... so fast in gets off jackstands outta the garage and back in the same postion before anyone can see it. Just like a Camaro..... :icon16: Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 04:07 PM That's funny cause a I would rather have 69 Boss429, 4-speed toploader, 9" wit dragpack. You can call it the Castrator cause it would cut those lil balls of your Camaro right off. :smokin: AHEM.... Bring your 69 shit heap up here and we'll see what's what. You could call it the "Masturbator" cause it would be sitting there all by itself at the starting line, waiting for you to grab it's stick, as I climb out of my Maro at the finish line.:smokin: :evillol: :grinyes: :smooch: You really think a modded 429 is competition for a modded 454? You're starting 25 cubic inches short of having testicles son.:lol2: NOW.. let's talk real world... You don't have a 69 Boss 429 shit heap, I DO have a 70 Maro with a modded 454 that runs low 11's on 7 cylinders. SO, keep dreaming son.... Viper_Storm 07-15-2005, 04:20 PM you tell him earl! lol philly rs 07-15-2005, 04:23 PM damn the love we get in here.....its the shit!! Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 04:24 PM Yeah, I'm getting a warm feeling all over... oh... that's just my blood pressure. Sorry. We ARE very accepting people aren't we? wrightz28 07-15-2005, 04:29 PM We must be accepting, to put up with shit from a mmoderator, who drives a rustang none the less. :slap: Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 04:32 PM Gstring is cool. He's just a little misguided. wrightz28 07-15-2005, 04:35 PM I meant it jokingly, I have no beefs with anyone. Except the rustang part :sadwavey: Viper_Storm 07-15-2005, 04:40 PM lol, he came here, possibley looking for some trouble... why else would he come here? hes a mustang driver and hes a mod... he should know a lil better :nutkick: lol, acctually i like mustangs to, not all of them, i like the fox bodies and the older shelby ones, like the one in gone in 60 seconds, i am just more of a camaro guy. Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 04:41 PM Dude, like 99% of my posts are joking. I do hope everyone realizes that. BUT... My maro will completely obliterate any 69 WannabeBoss 429 Mustang. Viper_Storm 07-15-2005, 04:44 PM lol, well i hope so. wrightz28 07-15-2005, 04:48 PM Dude, like 99% of my posts are joking. I do hope everyone realizes that. BUT... My maro will completely obliterate any 69 WannabeBoss 429 Mustang. Well we seem to be of the similar mindset, you you ain't gotta worry about me. And yeah, you'll obliterate the 429, make it a just a little more fair, and pull a plug wire, c'mon, be a sport and give em a fighting chance. Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 04:51 PM Could make it a REAL challenge and let earl ride shotgun with a bowl of brussels sprouts. It's kind a hard to shift and drive when your eyes are watering and your lungs are stinging from one of his green fart cloud hazes. wrightz28 07-15-2005, 04:54 PM 'curled over turning purple from laughter' I said be a sport, not suicidal, and besides, that's if you can get Earl TO ride shotgun, I heard he's a little buisy lately getting porked by little college boys. Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 05:04 PM LOL!!! Yeah, he might have a hard time sitting down... then again maybe not!!! :cwm27: BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! (IROC I really do love you man, I just can't help myself. I'm starting to look like a football, huh???) I gotta go home, I'm killing myself over here.:rofl: :lol2: :lol: Viper_Storm 07-15-2005, 05:06 PM 'curled over turning purple from laughter' I said be a sport, not suicidal, and besides, that's if you can get Earl TO ride shotgun, I heard he's a little buisy lately getting porked by little college boys. lol, get it right, hes busy porking lil college boys Earlsfat 07-15-2005, 05:08 PM Dude this is getting way too football. I'm going home. Have a good weekend fellas. wrightz28 07-15-2005, 05:09 PM Take it easy man. I still have a half hour to go, damn. But after that, 1/2 a keg has my name all over it :bananasmi: Viper_Storm 07-15-2005, 05:13 PM ok, fellaz, im going to wrightz28's house, or where ever his keg is wrightz28 07-15-2005, 05:17 PM ok, fellaz, im going to wrightz28's house, or where ever his keg is Currently and conveniently kept by the back door, just in case i decide to wheel it out to the garage.............damn, I think I have empty in the damn garage now, now that I think about it. GTStang 07-15-2005, 06:18 PM AHEM.... Bring your 69 shit heap up here and we'll see what's what. You could call it the "Masturbator" cause it would be sitting there all by itself at the starting line, waiting for you to grab it's stick, as I climb out of my Maro at the finish line.:smokin: :evillol: :grinyes: :smooch: You really think a modded 429 is competition for a modded 454? You're starting 25 cubic inches short of having testicles son.:lol2: NOW.. let's talk real world... You don't have a 69 Boss 429 shit heap, I DO have a 70 Maro with a modded 454 that runs low 11's on 7 cylinders. SO, keep dreaming son.... Awww some1's feather's get a lil ruffles..... A Boss 429 is not a modded 429 it's stock motor. And yes a modded 429 is plenty of competition for a 454 and a modded 460 would be too. If you think 25cu. makes something so much more powerful your a joke... You can talk real world if you want, I never said I had a 60 Boss 429 I said I would rather have one. Reading comprehension owns Camaro owners. Now you can keep dreaming that your car impresses me..... Let's see my old Boss had a 91 Mustang built for quick street series using a lil 349SBF S/C running low 9's that would embarrass your oh so bad ass 454 Camaro. Or if you would like to go again my neighbors 67 Fastback Mustangs wit a Quest Racing built BBF. Try N/A 604cu. 1600hp running 7.20's @ NED point series. And I owned/built a modded 351W that ran high 10's when driven by a superior driver. So once again your big bad 454 might impress the lil mid 14's guys but it doesn't me. Have a nice day though. 89IROC&RS 07-16-2005, 10:11 AM now now children lets all play nice, GTstang is a mustang driver, he does come over here to shoot the shit from time to time, (and be a dick, nothin but love for ya man) no different than the rest of us, but keep in mind he knows his shit, including that about F-bodies, probly more than alot of the camaro and firebird guys, hes trumped my knowledge from time to time as well. so lets not get all terrirtorial, for one im not offended about the jack stand deal, thats where my car has been for a year, and i think it was on the road for a few hours after a full front end rebuild before i took it off road and it was back on the jack stands, so at least regarding my RS, GTstang was right on the money, so i fail to see what all the fuss is about :evillol: point being playfull fucking around is cool, but lets not take any of it personally. Genopsyde 07-16-2005, 10:36 AM no swearing Xenostalgia 07-16-2005, 12:38 PM GT: I think Earl is talking about a daily driver car, not all setup to be a complete drag racer w/ 1600hp doing 7.9's Anyone with enough money could make a dragster. I'm pretty sure we're talkin about street-cars. And his 454 is N/A while youre 354 is S/C kinda not in the same area :P What would it run N/A? And also both ya need to get off the 'who has a bigger penis' stand. :P its annoying. Until GT has a 429Boss and is standing next to Earl w/ his running 454 both ya gotta shut up and quit guestimating. FormulaLT1 07-16-2005, 03:36 PM I think we should all chip in and buy Xeno a Mustang :evillol: (he's your problem now boobie :tongue: ) Xenostalgia 07-18-2005, 02:32 AM I think we should all chip in and buy Xeno a Mustang :evillol: (he's your problem now boobie :tongue: ) i'll take a 05 saleen Rally Sport 07-18-2005, 10:45 AM Saw one of those while in Vegas..not special looking at all. I think with the money we would chip in, you'd have a Foxbody Stang with the 4 cyl. :rofl: For the record though, MY maro isnt sitting on stands, currently its on its 4 wheels and sitting there good. :) Earlsfat 07-18-2005, 11:28 AM I just had a nice reply to gstang and had some quetsion in it too, but i erased the goddamned thing by accident and refuse to retype it. And yes it was a NICE reply not a smartass reply. Not offended, upset or anything. Just wait til I get it fixed and dyno'd, run it at the track and post up the documentation. And yes Xeno, PUMP GAS, street car, not a strip only 1600 hp trailer queen. Mr. Luos 07-18-2005, 11:48 AM i'll take a 05 saleen Overpriced, ugly, and still slow. My car is currently just waiting. Motor is coming out next weekend....I hope. Link85x 07-18-2005, 12:49 PM My Mustang has been doing it's impression of Camaro for a year now sitting in my garage on jack stands and in grey primer:evillol: Dam I get sidetracked to easily..... Hey Linx where in Mass are you? When I'm finally back on the road we should meet up and tape some action for AF. In boston, but i have learned to travel now. I gained a lot of trust from my camaro since the headers install. U could probably help me out with all my damn quirks. Duct tape or electrical?????? GTStang 07-18-2005, 02:30 PM Just so you guys know the quick street 91 Stang in the 9's was registered, insured and driven on the streets in New Hampshire. This car was not a trailor queen by a long shot. It still had almost all of it's original interior minus the factory seats, seat belts, radio, and of course the cage was added. Also you say what would the 354 run N/A.... well what would his 454 run minus 100 cubes....... Linx you ever out near Brockton... Southshore.... cause I know a good amount of people out there and there is suppose to be some good racing. Mr. Luos 07-18-2005, 02:52 PM Wanna know an amazing car.... There are some STOCK-HEADED LS1 cars running in the mid 10's. All 346 cubes. :lol: Money into ANY car will get it going. Just takes money. Earlsfat 07-18-2005, 03:09 PM waitwaitwait... s/c = supercharged???? you GIANT HORSE'S ASS! I'm talking mod for mod. Throw a friggin s/c on my maro and then talk to me. (What the hell is N/A???) You are such an i... (takes a deep breath...feathers SLIGHTLY ruffled.) Let me put it into terms that I can explain. I say "I have a twelve gauge shotgun made by Beretta that's is as deadly as sin". And you say "oh yeah, well I have a Persian nuclear bomb that will kick it's ass, oh don't you feel stupid, you suck, I'm cooler than you." Moron argument. I fail to see the comparison. If a 454 basically is the same as a 429, if 25-50 horses ain't that big a deal to you then fine, bring your Boss 429 up here and put your money where your mouth is. I'll buy your dinner and drinks if you beat me (this is after I get it corrected). I am not calling you stupid, I'm not saying you're an asshole, my maro may not impress you, but there are VERY few mustangs that impress me (thought about it, only one comes to mind). Especially since the majority of guys that drive mustangs like to make incomprehensible arguments about how their $30,000 machine is better, and faster than anyone else's $30,000 machine when their mustangs are really nothing more than a friggin orange crate with a rocket duck taped to it. Come back with a rational argument and lets talk. Enough of the "My boss has more money and has bigger balls than you" childishness. Mr. Luos 07-18-2005, 03:13 PM (What the hell is N/A???) Naturally Aspirated. No blower, no bottle, no turbo, etc... Basicly what I plan on making 500 rear wheel horse with. Just a motor. Not sure if you were really asking or joking. 89IROC&RS 07-18-2005, 03:16 PM Jim, GTstang, so you dont agree with each other fine, but you are both bringing up reasonable arguments, i love you both, and hump one of your dogs, so lets agree to be nice or ill start humping you two Earlsfat 07-18-2005, 03:25 PM Consider it done. Just responding to him, but you're the boss... Earlsfat 07-18-2005, 03:25 PM Thanks Mr Lous... I was really asking. Rally Sport 07-18-2005, 03:29 PM GT, they were talking about the 1600HP being the trailor queen. the 91 Stang, no one cares about. One thing I hate is that guys will never talk mod for mod, always something being better with the mods it has but will never compare it to the other car if it had the mods. Like my friend told me he was talking to this guy who was all like "This Honda Civic beat this Camaro at a drag race and it had a turbo!" my friend was like "Yeah but imagine how fast the Maro would be with the turbo on IT" Link85x 07-18-2005, 03:36 PM GTStang, i now where brockton is. I go to the junkyard there all the time. I also heard that people race there too. You go there. I really don't have race material yet, maybe you could help me... 89IROC&RS 07-18-2005, 03:39 PM Really guys, on the street, to you honestly go mod for mod??? does a civic scare you if its not stock???? real racers run what they brung, faster is faster, the supercharged 354 is on an equil level with the 454, a supercharger makes an engine think its larger than it is, so its not giving him an advantage, its simply leveling the playing feild. anybody here only go out and play when they have a distinct advantage??? wheres the risk, wheres the fun? I may only do money runs when i know i have a chance of winning, or when i know im going to win, im not stupid, but im not going to say ill only race cars with the same number or fewer mods as my car. GTstang is bringing up good points, and so are you guys, but its nothing worth cursing, name calling, or all this arguing. debate is fine, lets keep the car talk up and disagreements flying, but lets keep it civil. Mr. Luos 07-18-2005, 03:39 PM "This Honda Civic beat this Camaro at a drag race and it had a turbo!" I have video of me eating a turbo Civic. :biggrin: Rally Sport 07-18-2005, 03:47 PM Very nice, I do have to say though..I got owned a couple of weeks ago by a Dodge Ram Hemi..man that thing took off.. Oh well a 150 HP difference, so I accepted the ass beating. GTStang 07-18-2005, 06:52 PM waitwaitwait... s/c = supercharged???? you GIANT HORSE'S ASS! I'm talking mod for mod. Throw a friggin s/c on my maro and then talk to me. (What the hell is N/A???) You are such an i... (takes a deep breath...feathers SLIGHTLY ruffled.) Let me put it into terms that I can explain. I say "I have a twelve gauge shotgun made by Beretta that's is as deadly as sin". And you say "oh yeah, well I have a Persian nuclear bomb that will kick it's ass, oh don't you feel stupid, you suck, I'm cooler than you." Moron argument. I fail to see the comparison. If a 454 basically is the same as a 429, if 25-50 horses ain't that big a deal to you then fine, bring your Boss 429 up here and put your money where your mouth is. I'll buy your dinner and drinks if you beat me (this is after I get it corrected). I am not calling you stupid, I'm not saying you're an asshole, my maro may not impress you, but there are VERY few mustangs that impress me (thought about it, only one comes to mind). Especially since the majority of guys that drive mustangs like to make incomprehensible arguments about how their $30,000 machine is better, and faster than anyone else's $30,000 machine when their mustangs are really nothing more than a friggin orange crate with a rocket duck taped to it. Come back with a rational argument and lets talk. Enough of the "My boss has more money and has bigger balls than you" childishness. Earl I came in here just stated the current situation my Stang is in and make a small joke about Camaros but also busting my own and cars balls at the same time. Then you came in wit oh my 454 can take on the world and how I should bow down to it and all Mustangs should live in live in fear of it. So i just told you that I have personally worked on and seen two Mustangs that can handle your car and the one I owned probably would too. And this is def not saying that there is not Camaros that are as fast or faster. Cause I totally agree anything can be made fast if you put money into it. And all of your it your mod for mod thing is as crazy as trying to say well all cars are stock. Everybody mods their cars in different ways to achieve something. You chose to go big block other guys go turbos, S/C, nitrous, I/H/C, the choices are limitless. If someone spent more money or went a better route and made their car faster than yours get over it. Genopsyde 07-18-2005, 07:24 PM i can just feel the love in here. Rod&Custom 07-18-2005, 08:07 PM I attended a local Mustang show this past weekend and saw a lot of cool cars. I know one of the late model guys and he had his car at the show. It is a '03 Cobra in that whatever yellow they use(zinc maybe?). He was talking to some other people about his mods and power.....it was CRAZY! He has all of the normal bolt-ons and some supercharger tricks too I think. He said he just got it dynoed out at 470 rwhp. This guy isn't a bullshiter either, he is a pure-blood drag racer. He said that one time he was doing a burnout in his work parking lot, and even after he let off the gas the tires refused to stop turning for about a second or two. Personally, that would scare the shit out of me, but I guess he is used to it. Anyway, alot of cars are fast, and it really doesn't matter if it is a stock-headed LS1 running 10's, or a stock headed Mustang with 470 rwhp. They are all our pride and joy, and are what make such a great hobby. Xenostalgia 07-18-2005, 08:24 PM than a friggin orange crate with a rocket duck taped to it. Hey hey hey, now i resent that comment, 89IROC&RS 07-18-2005, 08:51 PM gotta love JATO's :) Mr. Luos 07-18-2005, 09:23 PM and it really doesn't matter if it is a stock-headed LS1 running 10's, or a stock headed Mustang with 470 rwhp. They are all our pride and joy, and are what make such a great hobby. Said perfectly. The only reason I mentioned the LS1, is they seemed to be heading towards an N/A cube fight. 346 cubes, naturally aspirated and in the 10's. When it comes down to it though, it doesn't make a BIT of difference what is used to make the power, as long as it makes it. And a 470 RWHP Cobra?? Sounds like the usual bolt-ons and a pulley. That is all it takes. I have a love-hate relationship with those cars. I mean....they are badass and can make some crazy numbers quick, but on the other hand, they are the rival Mustang. :lol: 89IROC&RS 07-18-2005, 09:38 PM for me it just comes down to color, i like red over blue for those who dont know, chevy racing is a red bowtie, ford is a blue oval ;) Earlsfat 07-19-2005, 01:45 PM Earl I came in here just stated the current situation my Stang is in and make a small joke about Camaros but also busting my own and cars balls at the same time.

Like I said 99% of my posts are not serious, I'm probably the least mechanically inclined person on the whole forum (except for maybe some of the import guys :smile:). Read the rest of my posts, and THEN tell me how ignorant I was being. I misinterpreted yours, you misinterpreted mine, no harm no foul. I haven't raced anyone in my maro, no one seems to want to, except my friend with an 03 Cobra estimated at 520-ish HP (not sure bhp or rwhp), and that won't happen until I get it straightened out. On the other hand TONS of import guys wanted race my Z71... pointless. (Also have a friend with a 86? Lotus, and a replica 427 Cobra that wants to go... but thats just for fun.) Dude, quit trying to get under my skin, I'm only having fun, trying to get my maro proper and trying to help some people out if I can. PS - It JIM, Earl's my dog.

Nice to finally start calling ya Jim instead of your dog's name. i will still call him earl, lol, i will eventually forget his name and i dont really know if he wants to be called jim... Earlsfat 07-19-2005, 02:54 PM I think 88 finally slipped over the edge... Viper_Storm 07-19-2005, 02:57 PM you mean 89? :p Rally Sport 07-19-2005, 03:02 PM Who's slipping over the edge now? Earlsfat 07-19-2005, 03:22 PM "eggs....." WTF does that mean?? And I thought his name was 88camaroperson. Man. I gotta take a break. Link85x 07-19-2005, 03:24 PM cucumbers... :evillol: .

Earl is the man!!!! 89camaroperson 07-19-2005, 05:31 PM it was the first thing that came to my mind....I really dont even like eggs.....when I make anyways.... 89IROC&RS 07-19-2005, 05:34 PM ham, the green kind...... Genopsyde 07-19-2005, 05:38 PM snausages Mr. Luos 07-19-2005, 07:23 PM When it comes to names..... Luos has NOTHING to do with my real name. :lol: And I like bacon. Earlsfat 07-19-2005, 07:30 PM Alright I am totally lost. I'm gonna go home and beg for sex to see if it'll help my mental status. 89IROC&RS 07-19-2005, 10:36 PM lol Xenostalgia 07-19-2005, 10:46 PM How much begging does it take for your dog to give in? Rally Sport 07-19-2005, 10:56 PM Luos isnt your name Curtis, if I remember correctly.. And Xeno what are YOU talking about? :sly: Mr. Luos 07-20-2005, 12:48 AM Luos isnt your name Curtis, if I remember correctly.. Bingo. Luos is something I came up with years back. Not even sure why. Current status of the F-Body..... Stock motor should be out Sunday. I will update after that. :lol: 88camaroproject 07-20-2005, 01:05 AM i thought jim was talking about me when he said 88.... but he was just sex deprived, earls been turning him down Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 02:03 AM Low blow.. Link85x 07-20-2005, 08:02 AM I like roastbeef. wrightz28 07-20-2005, 02:47 PM WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just found out I get to stay on the road another 2 years, passed the smog test, HELL YEAH :boink::bananasmi::boink: they are so stupid, apparently couldn't smell the fumes coming from the Z and then couldn't hold the test wand right either. got your emissoins right here buddy :flipa: 92zcamaroperson 07-20-2005, 03:07 PM good deal dude....glad i dont have to do any testing here in florida...and it better stay that way.... Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 03:53 PM Wish we didnt even have to pass state inspection only car registration sound really needed just do it once every 2 or so years.. not 1 though cause that sucks. Link85x 07-20-2005, 03:58 PM Would u believe me if i told u that i passed inspection with badass exhuast leak, no ebrake, no horn, rear brakes gone, one working head light? Viper_Storm 07-20-2005, 04:01 PM lol, some states are making it so that you can pass for with lil shit that is bad, like if you have a tail lite out they wont fail you.. but i donno if you would make that lil problem shit... you have a few to many problems Link85x 07-20-2005, 04:04 PM All the problems are fixed, except the horn. I think a wire some where in the steering colunm is f'ed up, ben to lazy to take a look. At the time, i needed to get the car on the road, plus i have to give the gut a "tip" to pass anyways... Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 04:08 PM Sounds like my Maro when I took it to pass inspection, like it let blue smoke when you started it, you kept to have the gas on a little because of the idle air control and my cat wasnt working along with one of my orange lights doesnt come on but the signal light still works for it :sly: And the guy passed it, probably because they consider it a classic, and yes I know how many years it takes for a car to be a classic so dont school me on it. Link85x 07-20-2005, 04:10 PM It's 20 years, right? My cat wasn't working either, when i took it off, there was nothing in it!!! It was completely black, maybe the filter got burned away? Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 04:15 PM Well today's classic cars are considered is 79 and below. It's 26 years. wrightz28 07-20-2005, 04:17 PM They let my old Camaro go through, this was before the IM240 test cam around tho, with no smog pump, the diverter valve tubes cracked off the maninfolds, no cat, open air element filter, man those were the days. Oh, and the holes drilled into the muffler for that sweet custom sound. But seeing this one is fuel injected I thought they'd be much stricter. Used to blow a crap load of oil smoke, but still you smell it's running rich a pig. Even my damn 68 don't smoke/stink up the garage anywhere near as bad and it's exempt! Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 04:23 PM I remember my brakes need replacing.. :lol: I was surprised when they said it passed and put the sticker on it, the brakes were squeaky and needed replacing. Gotta love the Arabs that I goto. Link85x 07-20-2005, 04:31 PM Hey, im gonna get a catback soon, so i could care less about my existing muffler, what about drill holes thru....? Earlsfat 07-20-2005, 05:22 PM No sex... from Earl or my wife. DAMMIT! Anyhoo. All I get is a safety inspection every year, $26. Doesn't pass for classic under insurance regs, but I guess the state couldn't care less. 89IROC&RS 07-20-2005, 05:51 PM try peanut butter ;) Viper_Storm 07-20-2005, 05:52 PM lol, thats really really messed up Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 07:59 PM Gotta be more firm with your wife "BITCH, GIMME SOME SEX" Hope it helps :) FormulaLT1 07-20-2005, 08:45 PM I hope for his sake that the problem with him not having sex with his wife is he isn't firm :naughty: :disappoin Rally Sport 07-20-2005, 08:48 PM :rofl: She see's that it isnt firm and gets disappointed "Gotta call the pool boy again.." :grinno: 89IROC&RS 07-20-2005, 09:28 PM like i said... peanut butter, as for earl, ill let you figure that one out. Link85x 07-21-2005, 07:59 AM Fluffa 'NUT'ter is good too. Viper_Storm 07-21-2005, 08:05 AM like i said... peanut butter, as for earl, ill let you figure that one out. lol, earl dont want none of him, lol, hes already getting it on with someone else from AF. Lmao :p Earlsfat 07-21-2005, 11:18 AM Hey IROC, is that why you've got peanut butter on your mouth and ass when I come home from work??? You forgot to wipe Earl's johnson off when he switched positions.... EWWWWWWWW!!! (I really just grossed myself out with that one.) EW,EW,EW,EW,EW,EW... I gotta go pour some bleach in my ears to get that thought outta my head. This thread is getting WAY too football.... Earlsfat 07-21-2005, 11:25 AM I hope for his sake that the problem with him not having sex with his wife is he isn't firm :naughty: :disappoin I'll tell you what... NOTHING on this earth is as frustrating as trying to have sex with a pregnant woman. One minute she's raring and ready to go, the next she's either asleep or totally turned off. I didn't think me and earl walking into the bedroom with peanut butter smeared all over the place would have that affect, but apparently IROC and Link are wrong. Usually I'm like "but, but, but... you just said... like two seconds ago...that we could..." she's like "FORGET IT, you're too late" at which point I go downstairs, get a box of oreo cookies and a glass of milk watch American Chopper, or Dr Phil and cry like a 3 year for hours. Earlsfat 07-21-2005, 11:28 AM Actually that was an exageration... I HATE Dr Phil. I like the Military channel and WWII shows on History channel and WWII movies. The Wild Boys on MTV tend to make me feel better, but it's rough going to bed with a full on chubber, especially when it's RIGHT THERE WAITING FOR YOU!!! Viper_Storm 07-21-2005, 11:42 AM Hey IROC, is that why you've got peanut butter on your mouth and ass when I come home from work??? You forgot to wipe Earl's johnson off when he switched positions.... EWWWWWWWW!!! (I really just grossed myself out with that one.) EW,EW,EW,EW,EW,EW... I gotta go pour some bleach in my ears to get that thought outta my head. This thread is getting WAY too football.... lol, i was wondering why he had peanut putter on his mouth... hmm wrightz28 07-21-2005, 12:19 PM Ahh yes, penut butter, motion lotion of the disturbed. :boink: 89IROC&RS 07-21-2005, 12:54 PM lol, im gonna agree with jim, ive reached my limit on this one lol. wrightz28 07-21-2005, 01:05 PM Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase puppy love. 89IROC&RS 07-21-2005, 01:20 PM well, i do like to do it doggy style......... ook ok im really dont this time. Rally Sport 07-21-2005, 01:47 PM :rofl: Didnt know your wife was pregnant, if she falls asleep then you need to get her on the couch or some place that she wont goto sleep too easily. also the History channel is the best, learned about alot of stuff that I will never have to ever tell a lecture to someone about. Earlsfat 07-21-2005, 01:50 PM lol, im gonna agree with jim, ive reached my limit on this one lol. Yeah I'm gonna hafta like go to mass a couple times in a row after this. Earlsfat 07-21-2005, 01:51 PM I meant after this thread... AFTER THIS THREAD!!! 89IROC&RS 07-21-2005, 02:02 PM lol Mr. Luos 08-11-2005, 01:45 PM Getting closer here. Strange....the thread comes back when someone votes. I figured it would only come back if someone posted. Link85x 08-11-2005, 02:04 PM I was wondering about that myself. So 89 must of voted? FormulaLT1 08-11-2005, 02:11 PM I closed the poll and no it was not 89 who voted.
