Ran an eclipse downtown the other night and figured I would have it bagged, when we took off this thing sounded like a jet, never heard anythinglike it. still beat him out of the hole big time but he started catching up pretty quick, said it was an upgraded blow off, anyone hear of it? nice car, pretty fast

maybe if u lived in california, you'd understand.........

Did the eclipse know that you guys were racing?

MAN I'M STILL LAUGHING!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK 2 MINUTES LATER AND I'M STILL LAUGHING!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Man this is like the best post I've seen in my life! :lol:

I raced a Typhoon that had alot of mods, that thing did sound like a jet when he was building boost for the launch.
I never got my ass kicked so bad lol, ran mid 11's I would guess.

A friend of mine has two syclones and a typhoon. His fast syclone is and 11 sec dragger. This Typhoon will have a turbo'd 8 cylinder in it in not too long. They are really fast trucks.

Check out www.turbotime.us for pics of his truck on his site.

Did the eclipse know that you guys were racing?
LOLZ DUDE!

My guess, the eclipse wuz a bad driver or ur a REALLY lucky one!

IMPORTS > EUROS > AMERICANS

It's simple math.

True, I get a lot of those "i beat this guy racing today" crap from an old friend who owned a volvo. And I always smiled and said "that's cool", but one day i was so fed up with the stories i asked him "are you sure these people were racing you?"...Im not saying ur dumb black 68, im just saying sometimes its hard to tell whether you're racing or not. Take me for instance: im lead foot and im glad i dont have a very fast car cuz id get myself in a lot of trouble, but most people think i drive fast so i can catch up with them or like im trying to show off. I really just love to speed, but they interpret that as i like to race, i know my 99 civic isnt fast, but some people actually think that i believe my car is a supercar.

HAHAHA Ya..I'm guessing the driver of the Eclipse wasn't a very good one...lol :lol:

ok people c'mon now eclispe vs camaro v8 vs 4 banger up of cousre the camaro would destroy the eclispe way more hp from the camaro.

i dont like it when he has a point...but when he does he does...

LOL dude an eclipse would smoke a camaro. Especially one with a turbo and blow off valve. Thatcrazyguy240 dude Camaro's are slow as hell i dont care if they have a v8 they are heavier than hell and are overated just like vipers and ferrari's. What do you even have Thatcrazyguy240 are u even old enough to drive lol. Watever u got i will put my EVO 8 against it anyday lol.

you're an idiot

congrats on bringing back a dead thread

CK, you're really rippin' em up. :lol:

chris i put it to you that after i got baned one of the forum members wanted a bit of a lauf so you stepd up (or your acting on your own who cares) and now your puting on competition to me

i think you have an unhealthy obsesion with me and i must admist wherever you are reading up the label names your doing a good job but you lost my confidens the minute you said sports car colection and jets an 18 yeer old does not own these things my dad is filthy rich so am i but we had the desensy to at leest teach me some money managmn\ent and some things about the world i worked my ass off at a hardwear store for a few years when i was your age before i was given a good job and more money etc and i bought my own car with my own money pal so stop and think about who your making fun of no rich person i no gives their 18 year old son a jet you are a lier and a bad one at that you remind me of the rich kid from cruel intensions he was totaly gay too :evil:

lets count the misspelled words everyone:

i must say that my dyslexic 6 year old brother can spell better :shock:

if you ever watch a japanese gt race alot of cars sound like jets...

i think its a combo of a big turbo, blow off valve and about 20000 dollars of other misc. engine components.

Camaro's are slow as hell i dont care if they have a v8 they are heavier than hell and are overated just like vipers and ferrari's.
Yeah those Ferraris and Vipers don't perform. Especially not on the race track... :wink:
Yeah I bet you Evo could be all of them, now go watch 2F2F again. Wait, the Yenko Camaro destroyed the ricers in that movie didn't it?

"WE HUNGRY, BRA"

I'll put my 03 WRX Impreza against ur Evo 8 any day. Of course unless u have about 10 g's under the hood of you'r car to.....I dont think your going to be winning anytime soon...

Hmmm evo vs. wrx , I go for the WRX ^_^ any time any day ^_^ . Oh and for the camero vs. eclipse , you must be retarded if u think the 4 banger would beat the camero. Before that things turbo kicks in the camero would be out of here. Oh sorry for bringing up this old topic, i just had to post ^_^




Whoops i meant "Camaro".

Ran an eclipse downtown the other night and figured I would have it bagged, when we took off this thing sounded like a jet, never heard anythinglike it. still beat him out of the hole big time but he started catching up pretty quick, said it was an upgraded blow off, anyone hear of it? nice car, pretty fast


You live in Colorado as do I. The elevation is killing your car. A stock 2000 mustang will run low 15's here. I imagine you car with the mods you listed is in the mid to low 14's which sad to say it pretty slow in comparison to most modded eclipses. Hell there are 11 second DSM's here that are daily driven.

The "jet" you were hearing were the turbo spooling, that sound means you are about 4 seconds away from getting your ass handed to you. I have a feeling this story is askew or the guy in the eclipse didn't know you were racing until after the launch. This is due to the fact that 80% of all modded eclipses are AWD and an AWD DSM would eat you alive out of the hole.

There is no such thing as an "upgraded blow off valve" your car either has a stock recirculation valve or an aftermarket blow off valve. And both do different things.

i cant belive the eclipse lost what kind of race is that
[-X

A race between a rice burner and 1 1/4 MPG muscle car.

A race between a rice burner and 1 1/4 MPG muscle car.

It's obvious you have never been in a 400WHP AWD eclipse during a launch. If you had you would not have said that. Can you say 1.4 60' times?

And "Miss" Bliss, he said nothing wrong, a rice rocket, the Eclipse, versus a 1.4 MILE PER GALLON Muscle Car...where's the missive?? :confused:




Ok, old topic but sure, why the hell not...

First off, I want to live out in colorado for three reasons:
1-Gorgeous, just spectacular vista's EVERYWHERE, and roads to match them...
2-The roads...
3-The scenery
Ok...so it wasn't really more than one reason...

Anyways, here on the East Coast we get FWD Current Gen Eclipse RS's (that's the four banger FYI everyone) trying to show up Camaro Z28's that aren't just modified under the hood, but in the suspension department, brakes, and weight dept. Personally, it's the opposite from what I've seen out here, Eclipse's, RSX's, and *shudders* Supra's being spanked to high heaven both at the streetlights and turns...Now, the simple reason is economics out here. The guys that own the Camaro's are in their 30's and have other cars like their nice lil' 3 series' but they are car guys through and through. Whereas the import fanatics are less wealthy, and simply don't have the cash for the upgrades on their cars, or the repair bills when the shitty tuners messed up on the installs.

So, not knowing where I'm going with this cArp, I'll just shut up...Besides, most of ya'll know I like every type of car, import, domestic, exotic, etc...for all the differences in the world. :cool:

I'm willing to bet that the eclipse gets about the same mileage as the camaro. I get about 14MPG in my car which is modded. People don't realize that boost sucks gas. On the track I get about 20 minutes per tank of 100 octane.

The road conditions in colorado suck, that is why people in colorado who are concerned about going fast other than in a stright line opt for suspension mods first and power mods second. With the on/off winters the roads suffer. Take today for example, it was 12 degrees when I left for work at 6am, it was 50 at about 3pm and when I got back to the shop it was 19 degrees at 4PM. Those temps wreck havoc on roads. But I did take the car uot tonite and it was pretty mean. But...... The sheer layout of the roads is unmatched by anywhere in the world I have been.

More about the topic now. People at this altitude who are concerned with performance opt fo a turboed car. Hell I was almost dead even with a 2003 cobra when I was near stock. At the strip I have taken a camaro (1998) which had a 383 stroker with a 125 shot. It goes to show that you must consider he conditions when elvaluating a race.

Please excuse the typos....if there are any?

TTB lemme go ahead and tell ya that a 2003 Cobra is force inducted with a supercharger. that means that if u were almost even with it that the driver was bad. im sure you know how a supercharger works so i wont get into that but its all forced induction so why would u use that as a comparison???? he had the same advantages as u

Who Cares? This topic is older than most of the people on this forum.

Being dead even with a high 12/ low 13 second car is no great feat. I since have moved on and don't consider too many stock cars a very good race.

Now supercharged C5's are good competition.

well thats all fine and good but you said at near stock. whats your defintion because no near stock 300zx could almost run even with a 2003 cobra even with an amatuer driver unless they just floored it and burnt the tires all the time u wer racing

I had an intake and a slew of suspension goodies. I ran a 13.76 at the time and we went from a 65 roll.

Believe what you want....I was there. He got his rear fender at my front fender and never pulled any further.

let me take you back to reality, even if your car was nearly stock or somewhat modified, your 300z TT is still no match for an '03-'04 cobra let alone a 125 shot ls1 camaro.
sorry you beat the driver not the car.

a guy named havoc was called out by a TT300z, and havoc spanked that ass.
havoc drives a 2000 transam with some n20, forgot how much shot.
i got proof if u want some.

I have seen the video. The fact that a trans am with a 200 shot( yes it was 200) beat a stock turboed Z means nothing to me. I'm not on stock turbos and I haven't been for quite some time, nor was I when I ran that camaro. The difference between that 300zx and mine is about 100WHP.

Most 03 cobras run low 13's here, I was running a 13.7ish when I ran the 03 on the street. That's not a whole lot of difference from a dig and it's even less from a highway roll where the aerodynamics and powerband favor a 300zx.


Last summer I ran an 11.78 on street tires and pump gas. I believe the camaro was in the 12.20's on slicks.

stock my ass, 300zs arent even all that, and the 300z guy challenged havoc and got his ass handed to him around august, then a couple months later he challenged havoc again and once again got his ass handed to him.
the 300z was not stock.
im not looking for timeslips but some of the stuff you say is bs.
300z= slow for the money you put into it.
there is a guy with a nice looking z that sold his for a blue cobra with some nice rims.

Been reading www.twinturbo.net (http://www.twinturbo.net) have you? I never said his car was stock, I said his turbos were stock...which means that at MOST he was running 400WHP because that is all you can get on stock turbos.

You can think whatever you want to about what I say. I have a fair amount of knowledge compared to most members on this forum from what i have noticed. I haven't yet seen anybody who sounds like they track their cars too often.


So A guy sold his Z for a cobra? There are also people who have sold their vipers for Z's.

They are slow for the money you put into them? Tell that to Zo who ran a 10.60 on a stock bottom end. Tell Chip Ginn who ran a 11.74 on stock turbos, injectors and intercoolers.


By the way what do you drive? What is your best time on the strip? How many fuel maps have to modified? Tune an SAFC yet?:D

So A guy sold his Z for a cobra? There are also people who have sold their vipers for Z's.


HAHAHA thats funny. and then they realize a big fuggin mistake they made.
mod for mod 300z dont have **** on vipers. FACT

i drive a '97 240sx se that i have pics of, dont worry when im your age i wouldnt have spent as much money modding the '03 cobra i get, and ill still be faster.
never taken my car to the strip since it is a slow car.

cobra can run 9s on stock bottom end BIG WOOP
so can:
Supras
Buick GNS
Camaro
Vette



so far what i have done with the 20 years of my life is:
engine swap/maunal swap '69 510, 5 lug conversion on that 510
drop 13b in '70 510
race karts since 16
tell me have you raced in a track with a 20 person grid go at speeds of 70mph at 1 inch off the ground?

and why would i want to modify a fuel map?
tuners do that while tunning your car.
hahaha

im sticking to my statments
Z = not fast for the money you put into it.
:D

You neglect to mention that vipers cost twice as much as Sean Wagner's car which he recently sold and it made a mere 744WHP. I bought my car for $12K and have spent less than $10K on ALL of it;s mods including a set of $2200 wheels and fully tuned on race gas it made 507WHP. It currently makes 440WHP on pump gas. Pics are available upon request as they are on my desktop computer.

Yes any car can be made to go fast with enough cash. But how many LeMans wins do the GN, supra, vette and camaro have combined? yeah that's right thats still less than the Z driven by Millen/Dale

I'm only 22 my boy, and have since built an engine from scratch. MADE a big brake kit to fit under stock wheels, fabricate my own roll cage which can be removed in 20 minutes. ect ect ect......point being that if you want to make this a pissing contest you are surely out matched.

No I have not raced go-cats with the kiddies, I insted sent my teen years becoming a world class professional mountain biker..where your physical condition wins racing, not your cart.



Can't modify a fuel map can you? You pay people to tune your car half assed insted of doing it right yourself...that's just sad :)

http://www.skylinedesigns.net/random-i/source/albums/userpics/Z32comp-tmh_b.wmv


Ahh, BTW there is a Z comp. video which includes a Z laying the smackdown on a viper at the track and a 2003 cobra on the street. Enjoy!

haha spent that much to only push 507 on race gas?
AHHAHA dont worry ill spend 3k and push over 500hp on 91 pimp gass when im done with the cobra. my boy


No I have not raced go-cats with the kiddies, I insted sent my teen years becoming a world class professional mountain biker..where your physical condition wins racing, not your cart.
ahha i love it, when u can actually afford to come to a Kart track and race a REAL race, and place 1st starting at 20th then come knocking.
Karting is as close as if gets besides Toyota Atlantic, Mazda Kart Series, or Formula Ford, to F1 or CART.


Can't modify a fuel map can you? You pay people to tune your car half assed insted of doing it right yourself...that's just sad
i dont even know what a fuel map is... probably some ricer excuse you learned at twinturbo.net
but if it has something to do with a dyno, then yes i would pay for it, dyno runs cost money, unless you have your own dyno..... hahaah

haha im not even going to look at that video, as far as im concerned

that includes civics, integras.
i never even see a fast 300z and i live in Cali, the king of Modified cars.
so go ahead look up a fast 300z in TT.net, its not my cup of tea, considering you can spend that money on a better looking supra which is also a 6 TT.

You're a f*cking idiot then

You're a f*cking idiot then
Gj next time give a reason, otherwise you're the IDIOT.

It's funny how this started, I doubted what TTBLISS had to say then he asks me what i have done concerning cars, and I answered, then he answers back with a mountain bike champion or whatever... AHHHA since when do cars or racing have ANYTHING to do with mountain bikes?
And im not asking about mountain bike racing im talking about motorized vehicle racing.

And to brag about working on your own fuel maps (that is the first time EVER some1 bragging about fuelmaps), of all the things hes done "built an engine from scratch" and he says he modifys fuel maps?
That's like saying he raced a civic and won, and then he races a Ferrari 355 and beat him too, but not mentioning to anyone that he beat a Ferrari.

Then he brings up the price of a Viper:
1: If you're going to mention a Viper forget about going back to how much it costs.
2: Next time I'll talk about a Foxbody stang and how those will destroy most cars on the road for dirt cheap, specially Twin Turbo 5.0s

I didnt mean what i said about 300zs being slow, who am I to talk i drive a slow auto 240sx. But there are many reasons why i bought the car, I'm 110% positive I can get money back when I sell this thing, '97 240sx se bought for 8,400 (including tax/license-registration/insurance). Sold for a sold $10,000 the dealer wanted 12k for this car at 68,000 miles.
know alot or people = save money

Ok, your a f*cking idiot because you cant work out your already where a ****ing idiot for not knowing what fuel mapping is. 2 for the price of one

haha im not even going to look at that video, as far as im concerned

that includes civics, integras.
i never even see a fast 300z and i live in Cali, the king of Modified cars.
so go ahead look up a fast 300z in TT.net, its not my cup of tea, considering you can spend that money on a better looking supra which is also a 6 TT.

"300zx comp. video" that means a video that is made out of other videos with 300zx's. Is that hard to understand? The only "ricers" must have been the 300zx's beating the viper and cobra.


Never seen a fast 300zx in cali.? Well try www.socalzcrew.com (http://www.socalzcrew.com) unless a 10.6 on a stock bottom end is not fast. Especially when the car was built for racing on a track and not a strip from the factory. The video with the 10.6 is an in car video and if you watched it you would notice that there is NO weight transfer thus proving my point. He dumps the clutch at close to 7K RPM's and it still doesn't weight transfer.

Sure you can make a supra haul some serious ass at the strip. Shame they can't be fast on a track too.


But you don't even know what a fuel map is....and if you plan on tuning a car to peak performance you might want to become familar with them as well as a timing map.

Whoa.. that Z beat the viper! Turbo laggin' at first, but dang, hauled ass on it's top end. So.. got them pics you were talking about? :)

Sure, I'll get them posted this weekend. All the ones I have are pretty old so I'll try to get ahold of a friends digi cam and go snap some more. I wish I knew how to transfer a video camera film to my computer. I have some good footage including a 0-150 run from inside the car.

Reading comprension owns you.

LMAO!! :smt043 ..

Never thought of the 300ZX as much.. until now. Probably because my neighbor used to own one.. wasn't the "sporty" driver.

ricer braggin about fuel maps over building an engine = priceless.

and as far as fuel maps, **** i should have just looked it up, but i dont waste my time on that crap.

over 6k in mods + race gas only pushing 507 = useless.

funny how you can spend alot on your car and the fact that u can bearly take pics of the z...
all to hilarious i dont even have a fast car yet i take pics all the time.

and last but not least, you can know 100000000000000000000 things about cars, but that wont ever make up for the experience you do with them. im talking about 12 inch who probably doesnt even drive. :D

Racer who doesn't know how to prepare his own **** = DNF loser

who races by themselves these days?
GJ, too bad you cant learn about that stuff on the internet

:(

ricer braggin about fuel maps over building an engine = priceless.

and as far as fuel maps, **** i should have just looked it up, but i dont waste my time on that crap.

over 6k in mods + race gas only pushing 507 = useless.

I brag about fuel maps because tuning my car made an extra 40WHP. Yet you know nothing about tuning cars. I also built my enine but that takes little skill as far as I am concerned. It's just turning a wrench, you can try to complicate it as much as you want but in the end that's all building an engine is. You dissemble an engine, get the machining done, order parts and assemble, it's as simple as that.

$2300 of my $6K was on coilovers alone, I spent a LOT more on suspension than I did the engine. I did a big brake kit which cost me quite a bit even though I did that myself. I spent over $2k on turbos alone as well....

Unlike fanboys such as yourself my main concern was drivibility, both on the street and the track. Peak power for drag racing was not my intention, if it were I would have a 600WHP dyno queen that would be no fun to drive on the street because peak power would be achieved at 5500RPM+ How often do you drive over 5500RPM on the street?

I take tons of pics of my car..but not on a digi cam. I let my girlfriend them with a 35MM and let her develop them because that's what she does for a living. You cannot get good pics with a digicam and a printer. I would rather have a nice picture on my wall than one on my computer to show to pathetic fanboys like you.


All I hear from you is when I do this and when I get that, yet you still have a slow car. Talk is cheap. I already own my car.

You race a go cart. I race my car on a track and take turn 4 at the local smokey (CSP) track at 120MPH.


What real life experience do you have? an engine swap? Since you claim to have so many pictures you must have documented the swaps? where are the pics?


You are a fan boy, plain and simple.

Never seen a fast 300zx in cali.? Well try www.socalzcrew.com (http://www.socalzcrew.com) unless a 10.6 on a stock bottom end is not fast. Especially when the car was built for racing on a track and not a strip from the factory. The video with the 10.6 is an in car video and if you watched it you would notice that there is NO weight transfer thus proving my point. He dumps the clutch at close to 7K RPM's and it still doesn't weight transfer.


im guessing the z is stripped to the bone, funny how supras, camaros, stangs and etc can get to 10s with full interior.

infact full interior kb 2.4 cobras can run 9s, on stock bottom end. :)

and please enough of the BS a supra > 300z in just about everything including resale value.
can you say $40,000 supra unmodified

Ever heard of privateers? They have their own team and set their cars up how they want them.
You got the next bit right but i have to add
real life experiences > getting someone else to do the tuning/preparing while wasting time bullshitting about cars you dont have and wouldn't know what to do with.

ill post the pics before you can even find pics of the so called stuff you have done :)

and forgive me, but u have 2 years on me, 1 year from now ill have a cobra but untill then im paying the 240 off.

as far as all the bs u say, put your money where your mouth is, you have done **** to your car, and id love too see your car do 120 on a "turn".

and please never call me a fanboy, im not the one jealous of a 15 year olds stable.

A: Assumption is the mother of all fu*k ups (I take it Mrs 1mic assumed the condom didn't break). Very little wieght is in interior parts that can't be swapped for just as nice lighter parts but niether of us can talk cause we havnt seen it. And B:300s are cheap which makes them a good tuner car, if we were all rich we'd drive Zondas

Nope, Z had full interior. The one that beat the supra in that video was stripped, but it also ran a 6.40

How many IMSA wins did the supra have? Do you even know what IMSA is?

Go back to watching 2fast 2furious will ya.

I could care less what cobras run quater mile wise. I drag race when the track is closed for club days not because it's all my car can do.

What's the fastest time you have ran BTW? LOL

privateers dont work by themselves, there is always some1 tunning the car and the driver him/herself is working on other things.

wow so u can read a fuel map, what about suspension? gears? wheels?

This should be fun.

What car first used a multi link set-up?
Why is toe in so undesireable (unladen)
what tire width would you use for say an 9.5" wide wheel? what about 8.5?



Just for kicks....

What is an ideal A/F ratio and why?


Since you know so much this should just be a warm up..

LOL can you say OWNED?

Privateers set up the cars how they want it, not how the team wants it plus most of the time they build the cars since they own them

WRONG.

Just because your dad puts gas in your 1HP go-cart does not mean you have a race team. It doesn't mean you have a "factory ride".

ding dong it takes more than 1 person to lift that kart, not even an x mountain bike champ could lift a 180 lbs kart.
as far as ownage you havent owned ****, this is the internet, you have posted 0 pics so gj on the ownage with your fantasy car.

a/f ratio = how much air fuel coming in and can be adjusted through the ecu
i dont know what car first used the multilink, like that stuff matters, thats like asking the firing order of a ford V8, go ahead look it up.
toe in = slows down car

your knowledge of karts = moronic, would you like to see a 125 shifter kart beat a z06?

WRONG.

TTbliss thinks these are the karts i have:

You know nothing about cars...I do. consider yourself owned in every post.

A/F question=owned...it's wrong
multi link is obviously wrong=OWNED
toe in=wrong..yet owned again


I could care less about carts, that's a sport for kids who don't have a licence yet. I have an R/C car that could beat your 240 but it's still an R/C car...it's a toy.



Your lack of knowledge amazes me.

Like I said talk is cheap, my car is built and you have never driven a sub 14 second car yet built one.

BTW I put the CCW's on a few hours ago so I'll snap a pic or two while I have those wheels on. Normally I run the stock wheels because tires are so cheap compared to A032's. Not to mention it's a 245/45/16 where as the A032's are 315/35/18

"ding dong it takes more than 1 person to lift that kart, not even an x mountain bike champ could lift a 180 lbs kart"
Are you kidding i know like 10 ppl that could pick up a 180 lb Go-kart.180 lbs isnt that much...

She wouldn't do it in her panties and bra.

talk is cheap since you havent posted 1 fuggin pic of your Z.

explain to me how you are going to lift a 180lb kart by yourself when it is as wide as a full size mattress and the wieght is evenly distributed?
you must have a wing span like Michael Jordans since his arms are long enough to hold each side of the width of the kart, now the only problem is the seat, steering wheel are in the way.

and how is your rc car going to own my 240, my rc will trample the **** out of yours.

consider yourself owned when you crash your Z doing 120 on a corner, and insurance doesnt pay for anything. have fun walking home.
when i crash my kart i can still go home and drive my 240 which can fit 4 people and isnt as old as a '91.

when are you going to stop the BS and actually post pics?

i would also think twice before saying "karts are a kiddie sport", when it is one of the steps to getting to race professionally in F1, Cart or any open wheeled type racing.
what do you think F1 champion Michael Schumacer does when its not F1 season?

you doing 120 on a corner or even reaching speeds of 150, still doesnt equal the sensation of doing over 70 and close to 100mph,
1 INCH from the ground, this is also with the engine screaming on your right less than a foot away and karts dont have suspension, its basically a smaller F1 car.
anyone can bring their car to a 1/4 mile & drag, some can even bring it to a track, but only a few have been to a kart track and have been on an open course.
and im not talking about indoor, top speed on those is like 35mph.

You dont have to pick it up the long way you could pick up it up side ways... one hand across the seat and pick it up on its side... And he has a pic of his z in his profile...

this is getting a little out of hand

1mic- stop acting like a 14 year old boy; sorry but i gotta say 300zx>go kart er w/e it is
ttbliss- stop acting like a 14 year old boy; post up some pictures (that aren't ungodly small) of your 300ZX...and the engine
lancer3v0- i suggest you do what everyone else is, grab some popcorn and spectate :D

would you like me to take pics and show you how hard it is to lift up a kart by yourself, and being a guy it is a big challenge because things can go wrong when you TRY to lift it, 180lbs is light i can bench 225, but im not talking about my physique this is a kart that you dont throw around, that is done on the track/ parking lot.
people even spend over 300 bucks to get a kart lifter/holder
You could always try getting a friend to help you.

btw- why are we argueing about how many people it takes to life a go-kart lol

Dude, that's your sister. EWWW

:smt043.. and TTbliss, I wouldn't mind some pics either.. no pressure or anything though! ;)

talk is cheap since you havent posted 1 fuggin pic of your Z.

Actually.. he did.. look in his profile.. NICE! BLACK! My neighbor's is mucus-that-you-throw-up-from-bronchitis-yellow.

because the internet tough guys can carry everything.

just like that quote "welcome to the internet where everyone has a 9 sec car, and a 9 inch..."

I would have to agree...My friend has a couple of karts....he has a 4 stroke...fun to drive not very fast though.....He also has like a direct drive...ICA, if you no what it is......Yah the real karts are much diffrent from those little toy karts at the indoor race tracks......ICA has a top speed of like 130 km/h...(don't no what it is in MPH)....and shifter has a top speed of like 180 km/h....something that is one inch of the ground and has teh capability of doing over 100 km/h is amazing too me...and no, it takes 2 people to lift a go-kart..

You dont have to pick it up the long way you could pick up it up side ways... one hand across the seat and pick it up on its side... And he has a pic of his z in his profile...

Here is one I snapped tonite. I didn't even think about one of the engine. It looks stock. Not much to see considering I believe polishing to be a waste of money. But I'll see what I can do.

Just a side note, whe wheel and tire combo sucked tonite. It was too cold and actually rained a for a little bit. Who would have thought rain..in colorado...in january?

Geez those tires look huge, 280s?

Geez those tires look huge, 280s?

lol they are 315's I catch a lot of **** because of it but I hook up like no other coming out of turns and on the launch. Pretty much the biggest I could fit under there with no rubbing. That is the main reason I went with CCW's, because they are a true 3 piece wheel and I eventually plan on getting another set of "rims" so I can switch sizes of tires in an hour or two Just by taking the wheel apart and switching out just the band. Plus they are one of the few companies who offer custom offsets and such for under HRE prices.

Normally I run with stock wheels just because of the price of those tires kills me every spring when I get a new set.

Sh*t those are huge (im not very good at judging sizes over 250). You widened the gaurds any?

No No widebody. I don't ever think I will modify the outside of the car. I have a set of JDM tail lights I have yet to install, I alredy have clear front corners but I think that's all I will ever do. Everytime I go out for a drive with my friend who just bought a Z, I can't help but notice how beautiful the lines of the car are as he's driving along side me. I just don't want to spoil the underlying elegance. I guess I'm just a purist.

but still with those 315 it looks a bit wierd how far they poke out

TwinTurboBliss
Sorry to say it but that looks terrible!!!!
Go and buy some wheel arches you wheels are sticking out several centimetres. That car should be illegal to drive in Scandinavia

i did use Front 225/45 ZR 16 and Rear 245/45 ZR 16 on my Maserati do you really need to have bigger then that?

Malin- the new masers come with 255's in the front, and 295's in the rear....

No mate GT Cambiocorsa Gransport and Quattroporte have Front tyres 235/40 ZR 18 (8J); Rear tyres 265/35 ZR 18 (9.5J) I know my Maseratis :)

but still with those 315 it looks a bit wierd how far they poke out

I agree, that's why i rarely run them except for on the track. 99% of the time I use my stock wheels. That is also why I plan on getting some different width "bands" so i can run 275's on the street and still have the nice look. I have also considered buying a set of Kazera wheels with this up-coming tax return. They are reasonably priced and will give me the look I'm looking for.

Thats why these are track wheels. My car is not very legal here in the states but I have never had any problems with the law. It has no front plate, the tires on those wheels are not DOT legal, I have no emissions equipment ect.....

My stock wheels came with 225/50/16 on the front and 245/45.16 on the rear and I can spin them through third gear on high boost. That is why I bought a set of purpose built wheels for the track...I could care less how it looks as long as I'm turning in good times.

With the CCW wheels I had a 60' time of 1.6 seconds on the strip. With the stock wheels the best i can manage is a 2.0.

Here are sme more pics. They are all pretty old but from the outside the car looks pretty much the same except for a little lowering and the front clear corners.

Sorry about the quality. Yhese are scanned pics and I had to decrease the quality because the site won't allow them for some reason?

Your my new best friend TwinTurboBliss, love the car, i dont think the wheels look that bad... I'm not sure if you posted it, but what have you done to your 300zx

Your my new best friend TwinTurboBliss, love the car, i dont think the wheels look that bad... I'm not sure if you posted it, but what have you done to your 300zx

Just curious but what do you think of the Kazera wheels I posted a few posts up> The black matte with polished lip?

I have an Intake, ECU, downpipes and midpipes (no cats) LeBree exhaust, Nismo 555cc injectors, Stillen intercoolers, one piece alum DS, JWT sport 530 ball bering turbos, Ogura twin disk clutch, short shifter, Built engine which includes JE pistons, Manly rods, JWT HD valve springs and retainers, had everything balanced, the crank knife edged and other small various machine works done. The suspension is ALL aftermarket including Apexi N1 coil overs upper and lower arms strut towr braces, solid tension rods ect.. The interior is pretty stock minus the shift/e-brake boots which are black with red stitching, the Profec B spec II boost controler is in a custom console, the turbo time is in the stock clock location, the roll bar is out for the season but can be put back in in about a half hour. The 4 point harness is made by M&R. I have a big brake kit which uses rotors from a VR4 but retains stock calipers so it can be used with the stock wheels as well a strictly track break set up from a 996. I;m sure I'm leaving a few small things out but that's the bulk of it.


Thanks for the kind words.

It's called a typo.
