Default Chalked on 3 More Kills! **UPDATED 6/13 w/ vids**

Kill Summary

1) REMATCH: RB20DET 240SX now with upgraded FMIC and other misc changes

2) REMATCH: Subie w/turbo-back exhaust, manifold upgrade, intake, upgraded electronics

3) Civic Coupe w/H22 swap + I/H/E + 50shot of Nitrous (that apparently wasn't working all to well for him, so there will be a rematch next week)


Read below for race details


RhythmnSmoke:

RB20Det powered 240SX REMATCH (he upgraded to a FMIC, and tinkered with other misc parts).

WRX REMATCH (you know, the one that jumped ahead of me in the last vid I posted a while ago, but I stuck to his back bumper, and he could not pull on me once I actually came into boost. Also must mention that I was not brake boosting when I raced him the first time).

Race Details: Supposedly, he turned down his boost for some odd reason from the 16 PSI that he raced me the first time on, to 10 PSI on this race. Well, that proved to be a bad mistake, because all he saw was the tail lights, AND HE HAD A HALF LENGTH HEAD START! I have vid of the WRX race, and the 240SX race that I will make a thread on later today or tommorrow.



ISmokeGuys:


Civic coupe w/ H22 swap + I/H/E + 50shot nitrous

Race Detail: We both kicked it from 40. My girl just getting the hang of brake boosting, and so she was brake boosting, honked 3 times, and we went. Civic pulls ahead slightly, however we start to gain on it. She shifts to 4th, AND MISSES THE GEAR! Looses ground on the Civic, then she shifts to 5th, AND MISSES FIFTH TWO! I'm like babe, come on now, what's the deal. She complains that she don't know what happened......WELL....WTF? HOW do you miss 4th and 5th gear you ask?

BY DRIVING IN FREAKIN FLIP FLOOPS THATS HOW! So, we get back up next to the Civic, and I tell them I would like for her to try again, cause she missed both 4th and 5th gear. They obliged. THIS TIME the FLOOPERS come off... 40 Roll again, and we immediately start pulling on them, with Misti hitting her shift points and gears. UNFORTUNATELY! I only have vid of the first race where she missed the gears (which you can tell we start to gain on it before she misses 4th). I was using our digital camera because the camcorder had a dead battery. And there is only so much a little stick of memory can hold on a digital camera.

After the Civic loss, he mentioned that he was trying to spray, but that some wire kept coming loose. So, there will be a rematch between us and the coupe next week.

So, with that said......

H22 (although he won first race due to driver error) he gets 0 because we still had the faster car when both racers hit their marks.

Good kills..

About the missing gears, I ran my best track time in flip flops, I can feel the pedal really good with them.

In regular thin flip flops would be easy, but when I'm wearing thick stacks it's hard to feel the pedal. That's my fault and I won't be racing with them again.

You better not be babe....LOL. Loosing to a Civic is embarrasing.. But you got smoked him though after the flops came off, so it's all good.

The h22 Civic want's to run the tC again, once he gets the Nitro working properly, so a race should be going down between us this weekend. We are going to the 1/8th track this weekend as well.
