[joey]

By my count, i got 24 cars so far, this is including the cccvic guys. Good luck anyone trying to overtake us from behind

Now now Joey, being the responsible drivers we are, all 30 of us are going to pull over and wave any old lady, learner or truck driver through..

How fast are these people gonna be going if they are trying to overtake us?

[MRMOPARMAN]

not that fast.. celicas are slow as compared to corollas

Thats probably due to the hole in the foot well you have to cut so you can fit in which gives you the added option of adding some Flintstones powah

[MRMOPARMAN]

well i do have big feet may aswell use em

If you put a set of grandma style "house-carpet" floor mats in an old 1.1 Suzuki Swift they can cut out some mean numbers. Anything around the dash, like beads or ornaments usually will get you around 10-15 more HP.

Don't be fooled by their age, some old people are quick!

I hope to be there provided my engine is running satisfactorily.

[-NiCkeL-]

How are you going with that dude?

[shelldrake]

Yeah, let me know if I can help you with it man.

Yer took it down to the mechanic, turns out the throttle shaft is loose on the cyl 3 4 carb, so its running like a pig. Idles all over the place, and it seems to be running quite hot, But im not really sure if thats to do with the tune or whether its just a hot engine. But its sitting above 90-95 which is a lot higher than the 80 the old engine sat at. So now im waiting for my mechanic to let me know when he can sort out the carbies with some guy he knows.

Any ideas or info would be great.

[Phyro]

That wont be a granny or truck catching up...

Hey is Slim taking the Mini or the Cressi?

Hey is Slim taking the Mini or the Cressi?

Was that question directed at me or someone else to answer for me? I took the liberty of talking in 3rd person to cover both bases.

Slim is taking the Cressida if it's raining and the mini if it's dry.
