OMG why am I so damned slow
 
Because I went back to stock yesterday. I have to smog my car, and although the smog guy is friendly, I am planning on throwing a new setup in the car when my vacation comes at the end of august. So I figured I would go back to stock for the smog, just to take the turbo kit out of the equation if I happen to fail.

Holy shit this fucking thing is slow. The first time I drove it after taking off the turbo, I was sure it was broken. Its loud as fuck too. I suspect that I have acquired some exhaust leaks that were being masked by the sound dampening qualities of the turbo.

To sum it up, I HATE THIS FUCKING CAR RIGHT NOW. My radio died a couple of weeks ago and that was fine when the car was turbo, now I want to shoot myself in the ass every time I drive the fucker.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fuck 97 whp:vash:

Duckie_uk 07-23-2008 05:35 AM

Damn thing still wont chirp the tires from a standing start. Though that could be down to my weak ass drag racing technique. :D

The only thing driving a slow car fast has taught me is, "Anticipation"...... :)

If you feel you are going too slow, just start turning the wheel side to side...it should give you a bit of a rush if done properly and hold you off until you make it to a real turn to tear up.

WOOT!!

Judging by my dismal numbers in no, and that other thing that comes before the co2 on the smog certifcate(sorry im too lazy to go to the car to find the printout)I apperently need a new cat soon, but not today motherfucker:fawk: Now its time to spend all my money on shit that actulay makes the car more fun.

My 1.6 with the 4.10 rear end is awesomely slow. I wanted to run it with the 3.90 at stock power to really feel slow.

my 1.6 w/ the 4.10 is a bitch...3.9 would be painful.
