[b]again![/b] None Of You Girls Showed Up!
« on: April 24, 2004, 12:27:12 AM »
I saw plenty of able cars at the AirSpeed swap meet.  Where were you????  Where was the Hulk???  Hans?

I got there a little late, when I came around the corner to the cashier booth there wasn't a single car.  Ohhh, they're all inside lined up at tech.  I pay and go straight to tech.  There was only 7 cars there.  By my reciept I was the 19th car in.
We got 7 passes in by 10 pm then they shut it down early.

This time I switched out the Koni front shocks for genuine VW ones (a lot softer) and took off the 7s with 195/50s for 4.5s with 155s.
First pass launching at 6200 on the limiter, according to Rick Farmer I actually got the wheels off the ground!!  And it was only a 15.17.
On the third pass I got them high enough to feel them touch back down.
Best of the night was 14.78.

Thus the fastest documented aircooled VW this year in the GVRD has just lowered the bar for all you GARAGE QUEENS!

The Vancouver Police Dept had their Rice'd out cop car there.  It was a new white Civic with all their Police decals on it, and it had a light bar too.  He was running 17s, and after dark had all the lights on down the track.  The fastest SC of the year so far is a Honduh at 12.7.  Where are you Geoff?

Next street night: Next Friday.

right on bruce. way to run the #'s and represent the aircooled.

at least you know that your high 14's can outrun the cops 17's so you dont get another ticket.

i was at the commodore ballroom watching the pixies shake the roof off the joint.

I finally figured out what the wings on the back of the Ricers are for.  In the down time there were a bunch of guys standing behind their Honduh with wing.  They had their chicken strips, fries, and bottles of water all lined up on it.  Its a mobile table top!

I guess I'm gonna start tuning. My 65 is aircared, insured and almost ready for the track.  After Darren  reworked my heads it made a significant difference from last year. And my compression is lower than last year too. I guess I'll be running 91 octane again this year. With a stock pulley on I'm pulling alot harder now than last year when I was using a Lang power pulley. I'm stoked.

I'll tune some more before I head out to the track.   Or maybe I should take my stock 97 civic hatch hehehehehe.
