Velle vs. Tubo Civic and 68 Firebird

67ChevelleSS · 08-03-2003, 06:24 PM

My first two runs were with Ron in the turbo civic. Looked like a pretty nice car. First run I think he had a problem, I pulled pretty good, even with fouled plugs

. Second run I went when he hit it. My car ran better and I pulled on him better. Not a bad running car though, and the guy seemed pretty cool.

The guy in the firebird said he wasn't gonna spray, I said it didn't matter either way, it was up to him. Started in second gear I jumped pretty good, then third started to pull pretty hard so I shut it down. He went by and I could smell the spray. I guess he says he didn't spray, but I'm not a jackass, I could hear it in the motor. I think he was a little shocked that he got beat, he didn't look to happy.

Good kills...you big bully. So that's where you guys were headed yesterday. Should have popped in man. Your bro and I were sitting around growing old.

Anyway, enough with this nice guy bullshit, when are you gonna run that thing at an auto-x? I'll whip your funking ass there man! Hell yeah!

Seriously, I would pay good money to see your monster trying to work its way through the cones. That would be some good shite.

Does anyone have realistic horsepower number on the Civic or is it more "classified" information?

lol, I second that

what took you guys so damn long to race, I was right behind you next to mike and the whole way across and back you guys were almost stopped and then one of you would go and the other one would take off after him, you should've stopped and then gone or done a 3 honks type thing from a roll, cause I was filming it but then just gave up after awhile cause you guys took so long, lol

67ChevelleSS · 08-03-2003, 07:12 PM

We both had to go from rolls, I need tires really bad, I think he does too, then a couple times I put it in 1st gear, and he thought I was going. I'd like to get my car on tape though, see how it looks. Probably at track day.

Eric I have to admit, you got me on the corners, I was gonna ask if you guys wanted to come, but we were running pretty late. Next time I take her out thought I'll let you know. You can beat up on me with the Scoob.

**TampaWRX** · 08-03-2003, 07:24 PM

Get a vid of it chewing up those Mickey's you've got on there now before you swap for some new tires. You might as well destroy em if you plan on taking them off anyway and burnouts are always cool.

Definitely look forward to seeing your car run at the track day. Any chance your pops is going to bring one of his hotrods out? :o

67ChevelleSS · 08-03-2003, 07:44 PM

I'm not sure if his will be ready for the track by then. I think my car would look slow next to his anyway, But I'm probably gonna steal his tires, so that should be some fun. Trying to get a bigger carb for it too, its getting choked right now.

**TampaWRX** · 08-03-2003, 07:48 PM

Screw the carb, go EFI on that pig.

I couldn't jet a carb to save my life, but I could help out with fuel mapping on a standalone fuel computer. Your dad would disown you for doing something like that to the car.

Did you find a trailer for it yet? If you end up needing a tow vehicle, let me know, might be able to help out.

67ChevelleSS · 08-03-2003, 07:54 PM

Yeah I think I have a guy thats up for it, but thanks. Your coming out for it aren't you?

**TampaWRX** · 08-03-2003, 08:10 PM

Should be out there. No plans to run my little commuter econobox, but definitely want to be down there to watch some of Tampa's faster cars put some laps in.
