So when is race day?

red herring · 03-10-2005, 01:54 AM

well, js281gt, it looks like I am going to have to sell my car because affording it while I am going to school is a bit too difficult at the moment. I already sold my x-brace, my 3.91 (got the 3.15 back in), and the sparco seats are potentially sold....Looks like I'll have to take another car.

Js281GT · 03-10-2005, 12:06 PM

Thats cool. Maybe I will let you drive my car down the track. Actually I can't cause my brakes are crap. I have to down shift after passing the 1320. My car actually stauled once when I didnt downshift. I couldn't pull off the track cause my steering wheel was locked up. Ya of coarse the guys were yelling at me & I told them to fuck off cause my car locked up. So now I downshift when I pass the quarter. What car are you thinking of bringing? I think it would be better if we go the 16th cause my work merged with another company so I have to dress nice. So I just bought $300 in clothes instead of drag radials.

we just keep putting it off, lol

I don't know what car to get. It has to be rear wheel drive, manual, non convertible, cheap and low miles. I with they made a 6cyl manual Camry. It wouldnt' cost me anything to have and I could still have fun with it. I like G35 coupes but I'm not sure how much they cost.

They are like $35 or so. You might as well buy an 03 cobra for that much $. If I were you I would buy a 88-93 GT coupe. You can get a nice one for $3000 or so. They run a 14.8 stock. Then I would save for a 331 stroker block. You could run low 12's, just on motor. Those blocks are alot chepaer then mod motors like mine. I would either go that route or try to find a tt supra. Those are the only rice I would drive. Maybe an rx7 rotary.

I will try to be ready by april 2nd though. I will just put the tires on my credit card or something.

I'm not too much for cars that are fast in striaght lines. I wouldn't get a rx-7 cause it's too old and I've already had a Supra. I was thinking if I get a car like G35 I'll just be content with it how it is, not too fast not too slow, looks okay and hopefully I can keep myself from modding it.

ttpancakes · 03-10-2005, 05:33 PM

this is mark, haha

Js281GT · 03-10-2005, 06:18 PM

Dude why not just keep your bimmer then? Those g35's are a rip. My car is not made for just a straight line. You didn't log onto the maximum motorsports site yet, did you? My buddies 89 coupes will smoke almost all cars through the curves. They handle extremely well.

red herring · 03-10-2005, 09:58 PM

No, I haven't looked at the site. The reason I don't keep the bimmer is because it has 152k miles. I don't want a car with that high of miles because I'll always be short on cash during school and if something breaks it might send me over the top. Thats why I said I wish they had a 6cyl manual Camry. That car it just a normal car that is cheap to maintain and I would still have some fun with it. Too bad its fwd.

Bimmer to a camry. My parents have a camry that they might be selling soon. It is red & an automatic, so you prolly dont want it. please just buy a mustang. Convince your dad to sell his to you.

Js281GT · 03-11-2005, 05:28 PM

You have to check out the website & tell me what you think.

Yeah, I've always liked Camrys and Toyota is just a pretty good company. I probably could convince my dad to sell me his car but I am not sure I want it. I gotta get a car I'm not going to throw money in to. A car without potential, lol.

Js281GT · 03-14-2005, 12:17 PM

Dont you have your job still?

red herring · 08:58 PM

Yeah, I still have my job and I can still afford my car I just don't know what will happen when I go off to college. I'll work less and if I don't have enough money for a part when the car breaks down I'll be screwed. But I can't help but think for something newer and better. I should drive around a civic or something just because they're so cheap. But my mind keeps telling me get the porsche, haha. Maybe I'll look into the car in my avatar. But like I said, I should be looking at japanese beaters.

Js281GT · 03-15-2005, 11:07 AM

You are gonna have to put money into a japanese beater too.
