I'll take the challenge. We just got the engine in and running Saturday night, and there are still a few bugs that are being worked out, but after it's taken care of, I'm game. How much faster than McFly are you?

CovertPenguin
02-03-2003, 02:14 PM
im thinking maybe around the same...

Turbo_LS_Hatch
02-03-2003, 02:39 PM
Well if your the same time of a little faster, and this engine runs as good as the last one(or better).......we can line them up.


BTW, I know you're faster, more boost, upgraded turbo, etc...

So lets do this.

02-03-2003, 03:05 PM
sweet jesus... maybe in a couple of weeks clutch going to be fixed before i rag it out to no return... ill post this again when its fixed :)

eh not nessarily.. just because i have more boost doesn't mean that im faster.. the reason i HAVE to run more PSI than u is because my engine is relatively unstressed.. yours on the other hand.. is haha.. the only "real" things i have on you are my back 2 tires with my engine putting presure back on them.. (the back 2 tires are the ones that happen to spin) if u make more HP than me, we'll find out in the longer run :).. but i have the torque and RWD on ya..

I didn't mean you run more boost than me, even though you do....shit, who doesn't? I was reffering to McyFly, saying you run more than he does. BTW, I know MR-2's are rear wheel drive, you don't have to try and make yourself feel better by explaining to to someone who 'doesn't know' IMO, that comment made you look pretty stupid.

by the way if u keep your car white "Mcfly" and get a body kit u would be "very orginal" not many body kitted mr-2s running around that are white... thats what im going to do :)

speeddemon
02-07-2003, 12:50 AM
nice posts guys... i think id take a shot in my civic once i get it dyno'ed and tuned... id like to see how i match up from a roll... no traction and too much hopping off the line, i wont even try that... also i have a friend with a black MR2 to be done soon... got dyno'ed recently at i think he said it was 18 pounds of boost giving out 425 hp to the wheels...

CovertPenguin
02-07-2003, 12:55 AM
wow impressive... i would hope to get 250-260 out of mine.. to the ground.. i need better cooling and i could maybe hit a 290. but either or does he go to HCC??? a have a friend who says he sees a hot rod black mr-2 at HCC

McFly
02-07-2003, 12:57 AM
well, i have 17s with 235/45/17z rubber on them. soo i think we are in the same boat.

i will be only pushing 15 lbs of boost sooo, yeah. where we race, I WILL make SURE there are NO cops, haha. i am paranoid as hell.

bryan

(dayum boi, sounds like a quik mr2, the black one)

CovertPenguin
02-07-2003, 01:01 AM
haha good.. i think its time for me to go back to some stock rims now.. haha actually.. 15 pounds is almost the limit for the stock turbo bryan (my name is jason).. anything more it'll become inefficent.. get a turbo upgrade or a ct20B and ill be more than happy to help u install it..

speeddemon
02-07-2003, 01:01 AM
nah im sure thats not him... his mr2 has been off the road for like a year now... but there is one black mr2 that always flaunts his blow off... it has "boost inside" sticker on the side window, i wonder if thats the one your friend is talking about.

CovertPenguin
02-07-2003, 01:03 AM

well, i am looking at the greddy, TD06SH kit and T67 kits right now, i ahve enough money for pretty much anything but i just want to make sure everything is ok before i start boosting more, so i am going to rebuild the motor at 70k. i have (66k) on it now.
thx jason.

02-07-2003, 01:22 AM
see i didnt wanna start talking shit.. but he is a showoff isnt he?! ive had several confrontations with him but im sure he doesnt know who i am because its happened while i was in my civic and in my prelude... i was trying to switch lanes once to turn into my neighborhood and the mf wouldnt let me over he started racing me! i nearly cut him off to get over not knowing he was punching it to race me.. he nearly hit me. i swear to God that night i said "i will get a turbo just for yer ass!" when i say something i mean it... i got a turbo... and then some... hehe...

Black MKII Racing on Westheimer
I just saw a news report on channel 13 about a guy who was racing on Westheimer and tried to out run the police in a nearby neighborhood. The guy was driving a black MKII with rims. It seems he lost control and slammed into a curb. The footage showed the driver in the back of the police car. I didn't recognize him.

I'm curious, first of all if you're dumb enough to be racing on Westheimer what in the world would make you think you could out run the police? If anyone saw the report, do they know who the guy is?

No you can't outrun the radio and your own plates. Especially after what has happened at the K-Mart. I'm sure HPD was looking for a chance to bust drag racers.

The black MKII had aftermarket rims.

sounds bad ass dude. what is the link to the mr2 forums, i need to sign up on that. cooling is my worst problem, i am thinking about buying the greddy top mount IC, i have heard nothing but good things from alfonso about it. i am down to meet up, but i work everyday this week, due to valentines day. next week tho!
