back before the new motor, when the Blu XY had an asthmatic 302C, C4 and a 350 holley, Ricers all wanted to race.... but I didn't. Now that I've got gobs of CHI goodness, no ricers wanna play....
I mean, I was cruising back from Aspley maccas tonight, and there was a group of 2 skylines (R32 and R33 GTS's) a S14 200SX and a 180SX all playing tag, being photo'd by their mates in a lame pulsar and a lame civic. Was standard Dorifto style cars, big bling wheels, grapefruit cannon exhaust, 2inches of the ground and their "Fly ho's" in the passenger seat etc, but no one wanted to take on the XY.... well, the 180SX accelerated up behind me but I planted it in 2nd at 40mph and just left him for dead... after that they all stayed well back... whats the deal? Are they scared? I mean, you listen to the way these guys talk like they have the fastest cars in the world......

Hmmm. Oh well.
Back to your scheduled viewing....

I believe theres going to be a FCT cruise in Jan when Hoppys back from the land of the mujahadeen.... should be fun :D The more oldskool muscle we can field on the cruises the betterer...

Stop picking on those poor kids, the amount of back presure on the quick spurt would have dislodged most of their aftermarket gear!
:rofl::rofl2:
Lol. yeah, I can just picture that.... sparks as their rice-barn aluminium siding based dorifto wing comes off and goes bouncing down the road.....
Me picking on them? :angel:

I just thought I'd mention:
I like horsepower :wnc:

When your doing 100km/h just drop it back to second and spin up the back wheels. This trick also works a treat when your being tailgated.

A few year back we were following a mate in his XA in a 70km/h zone when he dropped it back to second and spun the wheels. The car next to us had a driver in 40's with his the family in the car. The guy was shaking his head, but he had a huge grin on his face.

Its the same down Chapel street way, thay see somthing with real horse power and they run and hide. It is a nice feling to beat them with 30 plus years of cast iron dont you think.
Yeah, a sprinkling of Alloy helps too :D

I just love the torque curve on this thing. it is seriously flat from 2200 to 4500 (i guess exhaust starts killing it) so I can be rolling along in 2nd at 60kmh at 2600rpm and have 1100N of tractive force on tap....

the tards that you mention at aspley are the reason I stopped going down there. I remember years back when there used to be a much different scene... but then the release of fast and the furious happend. I should post up the 100 ways to tell if your a rice boy that me and a mate wrote... you guys might get a laugh out of it.

"if you purchased fast and the furious and a tube of KY, you might be a rice boy"

"if you had to remove your back seat to compensate for the added weight of all your HKS, TRUST and GREDDY stickers... you might be a rice boy"

"if your taco is bigger than your kitchen clock... you might be a rice boy"

heh, still amuses me every time

It gets really bad when you go to the not so legal drags and can't get someone to run you. I had my car out for awhile and did a solo pass. after that no-one would pull up. Damn girls! It's not that fast really!

My only comments when asked how fast it is? Are "Not fast enough for me". Till it frightens me, it aint fast enough hehehe.

2.75's would be scarey @ 6000rpm in top gear! I used to get a fright when I ran 3.00's in 2nd @ 7000rpm. I was scarey to slot into top.

I made my first ever trip to QLD on Monday. I was amased by the number of Fast Fours Car Yards. I think I counted at least 4 between UMG and Brissy CBD.

Might i add, I was really impressed with the way Qld turned on the weather. The VY Hire car aircon never went below High, and the Aircon in the hotel, I couldn't get to go below 17.

Ha I wouldn't even try to take on a Duccati, it would have ya for breakfast of the line even with a good set off slick's.

No one will play when I'm out either, although they bloody ought to seeing as my ZH is not exactly at its best right now... I reckon my wife's car might give it a go!

Having said that, I did drive it on Saturday afternoon and gunned it from the traffic lights at Carseldine onto the Bruce Highway. Of course, I was testing it out after my latest mod (tightening up the rockers... again... ahem) and I managed to stall it up just a little, a slight chrip from the rears and held it up to 70 in 1st before slapping it into 2nd... backed off at about 130 or so (the needle fluctuates, so it's hard to be sure!) and the car behind me caught me up and its passenger, a young male, gave me a little clap from his seat. Made me feel good - might not be the fastest ship in the galaxy, but it does have a bit of oomph and it sounds bloody fantastic now I've got rhe exhausts hooked up. ;)

Roll on January, when a fresh 351 shall be inserted.

Yeah, I seem to get that too Bish.

I guess all the NOISE (tm) scares the Ricers off.

:angel:

Mmmmmm CLEVO POWER (tm).

I think you would need a lot more than that to catch a Ducati of the line, you might real him in down the track in a pro street vehicle, (LOL), but of the line he would have you by mile's.
