[northsydryd]

Supposed to rain.

how many spiders do you kill everyday Mr. Fun Police?

[1gnR/T]

Sweeeet, I'll be there along with a guy from work with his powerstroke.

POSI- Is your car going to be ready to run?

[Posihead]

Sweeeet, I'll be there along with a guy from work with his powerstroke.

POSI- Is your car going to be ready to run?

Possibly. I've put a few miles on it and burnt up most of the 6 year old gas in it. It's running pretty damn good so far, just has a bit of an erratic idle due to the old gas. Also, it's still shooting soot covered acorns out of the exhaust! LOL, stupid critters...

It's been about 4 or 5 years since I've had a manual vehicle, but no biggy!

[VPT]

I don't kill spiders, I like spiders, they kill other bugs.

[Dizmm]

posi's gonna be out, i gotta see this!

[Posihead]

posi's gonna be out, i gotta see this!

I never said I was gonna be out. Gotta see what? You sound WAY too excited, almost like your gonna hit on me or something, GROSS! homo

[98hombre]

Possibly.
To dizzm^^ not starting shit just pointing out the obvious. :cool:

To Posi: I say break the car in first before beating the f*ck out of it. That's 2 days to get shit together! DO WORK!

[Dizmm]

your right hombre, he'll probably be a no show.

[Posihead]

your right hombre, he'll probably be a no show.

More than likely I won't race it just yet. I have about 15 miles on the new engine so far, and all is well. Ideally, I would like to get around 100 miles on it before I really beat on it at all and raise the RPM's up to high. I spent too much time and money on it at this point to cut corners and risk damaging the engine. I may take it out to Iola and back today to put some more miles on it and to make sure everything is A OK! Regardless, I will be in Point for the fire crackers, and to watch the festivities afterwords.

[northsydryd]

iola and back plus the 15-20 miles you already put on it should be plenty.if it was gonna blow you would have known it by now.

[98hombre]

north your an idiot.... on a rebuilt motor there is always a "break in" period before you put any real pressure to it, If its a personal rebuilt or from a shop. This is to ensure the bearings and other "friction/moving" parts are wore in correctly and any possible issues are spotted and not worsen threw beating. most places say 500 miles at a min for break in. I can continue to list reasons to have a "proper" break in time but why bother.

P.S Not trying to take sides here just pulling out bullshit and filling it with some logic. why talk shit to someone trying to be logical about an investment? needless to say this form has unique.

[Dizmm]

the motor break in period takes place the first 5 minutes of running. You also want to vary rpms/load. an auto-x is the perfect place to break in a motor. I'm not kidding either. most shops break in their motors right on the dyno, doing pulls almost immediately.

MSS auto-x is over a week away, 100 miles shouldnt be a problem.

[grocerygetter]

start it up, take a drive on the highway between Rapids and Plover, do a couple WOT pulls, change the oil.....done.

[VPT]

Pretty much. Ideally you want to run the rpms up in 3rd or 4th gear and then just let off the gas to create the most vacuum to pull the rings against the cylinder walls so they can wear in. Once the hone ridges are gone (within the first 10-20 minutes of the motor running) there is no more breaking in left to do.

[northsydryd]

north your an idiot....

are all these guys idiots to?

[1gnR/T]

It's raining....

[northsydryd]

not for long,it rained for mabe 10 minutes then it was sunny again.could we get so lucky?prolly not

[1gnR/T]

Hope it's not raining, guy I know wants to bring out his 2.2 stroker neon.

This is my office lol.

[northsydryd]

a friend of mine in wausau wants to do the 2.2 storker to his 2nd gen r/t.hes just got a cold air intake cam and pt cruiser clutch.it moves pretty good.last year i would walk him by around half a car,this year we havent lined up yet but i think hell own me now.im trying to get him to come out tonight

[1gnR/T]

Hope he likes to wait cuz it would take him along time to get a 2.2 stroker if he were to order it, I forgot to mention this guy has cams all the bolt ons blah blah blah....

[Getsideways]

Its gonna be a good night for racing !

[1gnR/T]

Weather channel says 0% chance of rain clear skys and 69 degrees, Nice.

Didn't say a road trip was the best break in, Grocery getter and you dizzm are correct. once the motor is started you run it for 5-10 minutes. If it makes it past this you did a good job. but you still need to put miles on it before really beating the car, things still need to wear in properly! i agree with an auto cross being a decent break in after some miles are put on it, its great to vary the RPM's. Its actually stated in write ups that road trips are not a good "break in" Sorry if my post seem'd miss leading i just wasn't going to type a whole article on breaking in a motor i just did a brief statement. Also knowing that the cooling system is working properly and other systems are working is nice to know. why a 500 mile is commonly said*tho not needed to go a full 500 miles IMO*


To north your still a shit talking idiot... As far as i read there not totally disagreeing with me. By the looks of it I didn't explain things to clearly. Nor did i say they were idiots, just you sir.

[Dizmm]

the easiest way to find the failing part is to beat on it, so beat away!

see you guys uptown!!!

[98hombre]

the only way is to actually drive it! lol can't wait to finish my v8 swap in my 3,000lb *roughly* truck :P

[northsydryd]

how am i talking shit? your the lame ass on the other side of the keyboard running your mouth.

[northsydryd]

Hope he likes to wait cuz it would take him along time to get a 2.2 stroker if he were to order it, I forgot to mention this guy has cams all the bolt ons blah blah blah....

my friend from wausau will be up in his 2g r/t

[TomKat]

Just a reminder. After the firecrackers we'll be meeting uptown.

Be there by 11:30pm.

We may do a cruise at 11:10pm if there are enough hot rods out.

[EVILUTION]

A cruise .... really.... LOL

If you are still craving attention you need an even louder exhaust and bigger wing.

You really should have started lining up right after the fireworks as that is when the popo is still busy.

Going up town to advertise a night of racing is not very smart.

Agreed!

Time for a new spot.

[98hombre]

i get ALMOST there and cops just busted it. so i missed the 3 races. lame!

at north simmer down champ, i was being a smart ass. lol figured i could be a dick for one post to "fit" in but guess I'll just go back to surfing the forum for laughs then =\

[northsydryd]

Agreed!

Time for a new spot.

^x2
new spot to match up and a new spot to run

[1gnR/T]

My buddy with the powerstroke was geeked out the whole time, like he was saying we should meet up at a bar or something out in the sticks and head out from there.

You do realize that Stevens Point and Portage County are two seperate departments.

[Posihead]

Results:

TK's BMW vs Big Ford Redneck Turbo Diesel Truck - BMW by a couple...

Bad ass V8 Muscle Nova vs GG Evo 9 - Nova by a football field!

Subaroooo WRX vs the Ghey Black Evozzm 8 - They both lost, racing from a roll is lame!

[TomKat]

I was impressed with the evening. Lots of people showed up and were ready to go.

The cruise through town didn't work out as most of the guys with the old iron decided to stay home. Oh well.

Results:

BMW vs. Ford Super Duty with duals - ..BMW

EVO 9 vs. Super Nova (Waupaca) - .....Nova

EVO 8 vs. WRX (Appleton).................EVO 8

[1gnR/T]

That was fun to see the 8300 lb. powerstroke with 300 lb. passenger run the bmw, he said he needed a few more seconds to spool it up and only left on 2 psi and was only spiking at 27, he had fun though and is ready for a rematch.

Thats it for boost? my twin turbo stroke was pushing almost 40 psi stock...

[1gnR/T]

I don't know? I think thats what he said.

[TomKat]

OK. Next time we'll give him some more time to spool up.

[grocerygetter]

Ive heard about this super nova a few times, any details?

[EVILUTION]

^ In previous years it had a big block possibly with sauce but it just wasn't that quick. I ran him with my shitbox and took him by a football field.

However.... This year I hear it has a 502 and apparently its two football fields faster because Nick's EVO and My EVO should be nearly identical.

I'd like to see GSW line up with him.

[3ftcivic]

Waupaca's "Super-Nova" stepped up its game this year. Its a bit of a different car.

However there is a new Waupaca car that wants to put that Super-Nova in its place. In two weeks there will be an epic V8 Waupaca car shootout to see who is the fastest. It should be close.

I will be at TT this week (Weather permitting). Rattle where are yooooou??

[grocerygetter]

what color is it, do they sit at that truck stop next to the expo?

[northsydryd]

the nova was blue and fast as hell.he didnt even heat up the tires and launched pretty hard.hard enough that he didnt lose much to the evo off the start

[northsydryd]

sorry bout that,i wasnt thinking about the turbo being ready to go.i was more concerned about being taken out by that big ass mirror and rear fender

[grocerygetter]

lmao, oh well next time.

[EVILUTION]

GroceryGetter you should call him out. Might be the only thing worthy to race ya.

Does Waupaca have any good spots to line up? I'd be up for a road trip.

i have searched for good spots for years never found anything good enough. nothing like points spot

[TomKat]

No they do not. That's why they come here.

[1gnR/T]

I know of a few differnent spots around point that would work, the thing is people would have to drive a little further then they normally have to, but it wouldn't get busted I don't think.

[Getsideways]

That nova did not come out of the hole good at all , If the evo had a good launch like he did in practice he wouldve had 6+ car lengths on him ,
Im not beating up the supernova i love that car , im just stating the obvious.
Maybe a TT night is best for {cough} as there seems to be fewer complaints

[Getsideways]

That Nova was pretty damn quick but yes I think I had the worst launch ever, we were trying to get the kinks worked out of my launching maps, close but not fully there. I'd be up for a rematch once I get my box fixed.

my car is still down for the count.

Please do not post anything anywhere on this matter.

[Getsideways]

Fine send me a PM with links to where these spots are please

[devlish]

Please do not post anything anywhere on this matter.

hahahahahaha. no shit huh?

[98hombre]

agreed, i'd be willing to show up to these "events" if a pm is sent or a text on a meet.

[EVILUTION]

It has more to do with where you start from than where you finish at.

The made rush of rice and corn pulling out from Shopko is a dead giveaway.

[1gnR/T]

I left a totally different way and took a different way and came in the backside, everyone leaving at same time and taking main roads= trouble.

[TomKat]

I don't agree. They are not going to cry wolf every time a group leaves the spot.

[grocerygetter]

best place to race is right on the hwy, 2 nice lanes, clean cement for a good launch....

[BLAQK]

yep

[EVILUTION]

I don't agree. They are not going to cry wolf every time a group leaves the spot.

The last three times that the group left from Shopko it was busted by the police. If its not the departure its the 15 car long convoy down division and out of town.

These days it would be safer to return to Sunset.

Incorrect. So much for the leaving in a group theory.

[EVILUTION]

We'll have to agree to disagree then.

He told me he was afraid he was going to hit you with the fender too lol.

[Scrad]

One of my buddies works for the Sheriffs Dept and he knew about the spot within the first couple of months working for them. Going out there every Friday and Saturday is stupid. Find a new spot.

Its not every Friday/Saturday.... As far as weekend racing goes this has been the shittiest year of all time!

It might have something to do with gathering up 2 blocks from the Sheriff's dept and SPPD. Then driving down the main drag thru Plover in a large group while again passing another PD on the way.

I drive past the po po station every time I head out.

Again no corelation.

[TomKat]

Then why has that spot been so good for so many years?

Only a few times has it been broken up. I'd say about .5% of the time we go out there.

Go out to Sunset, Old Wausau, or Rocky and the po po gets there before you do.

[devlish]

Go out to Sunset, Old Wausau, or Rocky and the po po gets there before you do.

true. weird how that works.

[EVILUTION]

Because people live there.
