Ah tis a very good reason then.

Post by **Sircnay** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

he's spent $10k and nearly 8 months of work getting this thing together. He's only 185/60/15. in a few weeks it'll be 215/5016 all around.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

that's not quite donuts, I'm talkin spare tires not safe over 50mph here

Post by **Sircnay** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

I call em blackies.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

dude, that's so not right

Post by **Sircnay** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

You're probably right. But I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just pointing out that they're black rims on black tires. Thus blackies.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

he shoulda put someof that 1ok aside for some nice tires, hell even 215s arent going to be enough from keeping him from spinning his *** off

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

Bud, I've seen ur city driving, I think you need to keep it at the track

Post by **Sircnay** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

hA! 215's won't keep my tires from spinning either. I'm looking at 225's at the smallest.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

yes, now imagine this on a FWD car, gotta go bigger

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

FWD. haha, I remember when I had that. My 240 is so easy to launch at the track, rev to 5k and it pulls good 60's all day long.

Post by **deftdrummer** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

yeah i was thinking that too when you said doughnuts. By the way, if this "team-5speed" is so bad *** how come how come their name is so gay?? and an even better question...if that TT supra is so "fast" how come he doesn't kick it with his "car club"

here's the final and most confusing question; why is the fastest car in "team-5-speed" a 6-speed???

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

I think you just answered the question about why he doesn't hang with them on your last question, they sound like a bunch a wankers anyhow.

How many of the cars are autos?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

hey whats all the hatred on atuos? And damn altima94 , revin to 5k for launches? im assuming you feather it out, because a drop from 5k would send u buying clutches in no time

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

I'm not hating on autos, I just wanna know how many of these team 5 speed cars are autos

I think autos are cool for daily drivers and in some cases, drag cars

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

yea, i was just playing anyway. And did u catch the new SCC?, they have an auto supra and an atuo SC3oo, both very badass , 7oowhp and 36ohp resepctively

Post by **Sircnay** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

actually only one of them... their stock civic dx, which is their ***** car.

Post by **Ace** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

The SC300 that was actuakky in the latest SCC was actually a 5 speed. Just for clarification.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

oyea, i stand corrected, i remember cause i thought it looked like an auto, but the supra was def an auto

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

I want something with a powerglide in it...

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

Hell with a powerglide get yourself the ford 2 speed auto. Not that I have a reason for saying this but felt like I should.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

whats a opwer glide?, sounds like something i would konw, but its not ringing a bell.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

2 speed GM auto transmission

Post by **tl1000sga** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

The trans of choice for most old school drag racers:icon18

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

indeed it is, but we had this sweet 64 mercury comet calinte w/ hipo 289 and a 2 speed. It was very nice. Loudest damn car I have ever driven. So I felt like giving the ford 2 speed some props.

Post by **tl1000sga** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

I didn't even know ford had a 2 speed, but I was a GM man in my earlier days. Not to dis ford, GM was just cheaper and more available to me at the time. Thank god I expanded my horizons!

:asmile

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

Well this car was so damn sweet. I kid you not same room on the interior as a s13, but was at least 4 feet longer. That was all trunk Could fit at least 8 dead bodies in it. I really wish I had bout the car from my parents. They wanted 1500 for it and the Calinte is really rare. Had a four barrel that pumped all four barrels all the time. Gas beast it was. Just ask mr1der how freakin' loud it was. Would have put any jacked up truck to shame.

Edit: found this exploded view of the ford 2 speed. http://raceabilene.com/kelly/h...p.gif

Post by **tl1000sga** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

yeah, I think gas back then was less than $.25, obviously not a factor when designing a lot of the cars back then. Sounds like it was a lot of fun. I bet it would be worth some money now.:icon18

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

are the 2spd transmission's used because of less shifting? i mean i see how that would save time. But wouldnt the ratio's be pretty far apart for drag racing?

Post by **tl1000sga** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:41 pm

Yes, but these were big displacement cars with *** loads of torque, so they didn't need all those extra gears.:naughty

Score one for the 240's!!
