Anyone in the High Desert? (hesperia, victorville, apple valley, etc...)

i go to Fontana, it's about 20 bux to race all day and you have to wear pants and pass a safety inspection. If your car is stock and your battery is still in the engine bay you should pass no problem.

[boostdd]

What mods u have?

Hey guys, where do you all go to get your 1/4 mile times and how much it cost? Im trying to get my 240's time. Never been to a drag race before lol.

[boostdd]

[spooled240]

oh damn, I thought you just wanted to take your 240 off some sweet jumps.

[boostdd]

I prolly could rally it

[spooled240]

idk, with these s***ty roads out here it's almost like we are rallying our cars everyday just going from point A to point B lol

[boostdd]

I know right, especially with my eghey coils LOL My bros ride is kind of rough too he is on KW'sProlly why most ppl have trucks up here

[jstoned1]

not trying to thread hijack, just introducing another desert rat here! good to see theres actually some performance cars up here... just looking for some local like minded car folk! where'd you guys dyno at? was that at dales?

[spooled240]

what's up dude?

the dyno was at OSR off of C ave and a street i can't remember the name of. (it's near the train tracks and it's not too far from the KFC on main street)

[jstoned1]

gotcha... happen to know of an awd dyno by chance? i think i might have ran into you on bear valley one day,not too many red 240's with a front mount in this desert lol

[Yellow4g63]

It's a left on smoke tree. I posted the addy in a dyno day thread in this same forum.

[DINO THE WHEEL GUY]

whats up man? that meet is gonna get moved to a better location but we haven't officially kicked it off yet.

that would be nice to get another meet going again since the nights are gonna be warm again

[DINO THE WHEEL GUY]

for sure we need to have something going on wednesday nights

[CaLiLaTiN]

Wow it has been sometime since I been online. Where did everyone go?

[spooled240]

still here, just a dead thread

[phanatikz32]

ddamn this thread is dead...

[spooled240]

yeah we're more on the zilvia thread now but I'll try and keep this thread updated with the meets and what not.

[phanatikz32]

man i havent done anything cars for soooooooooo long man, we gotta get something going again down here.

[spooled240]

ha yeah tell me about it...I just pulled my motor out a few days ago and i just pulled my cylinder head off. Everything looks good! Just like your other TT engine, my ka still had the cross-hatch marks on the cylinder wall and the carbon build up was not bad at all considering I have 140,000+ miles on this motor.

I'm gonna try and get my car going in about a month but we'll see how that goes. LMK what's up

[phanatikz32]

dude this is gay, i'm fixing my car finally and then your's is out for a month at least! gayness!!! so you're not going to go sr then? whats your motivation for keeping the ka? also me and kenny were trying to find you're el mirage video where is that s*** man?

[spooled240]

lol but yours will be out for another month before it's driving anyway right? Just by looking at the condition of my motor, I can get this thing cleaned and slapped together in about a month or so.

The sr is more expensive (at least 2K swapped in, almost 3K for the s14 sr) and thats only about 170-180 whp...it'll be cheaper to rebuild this ka (probably as cheap as 500 bucks?) and run 280-300 whp with my current setup. I've even done some custom stuff to my brake master cylinder just to run the top mount t3/t4 and it'd be a waste to go sr. Idk, if I had a choice of a ka-t or sr20 in a race against say a TT z32 I'd go with the ka-t lol

that el mirage vid was on my myspace but i deleted it so I guess its gone now, it's still on my computer tho

[Razi]

Gah, I need to check back at this section more often.Spooled, if you guys start getting meets going again, can you pop in and tell me in the KA thread?

I can finally trust my car to go on the freeway without overheating, so I'll probably go to local meets more often.
