Posted October 29, 200321 yr my other love, cars. if you don't like it: swallow ammonia.. Veilside fucking owns.
October 29, 200321 yr putting stickers on ur car makes it got faster, a r-type sticker adds a good 8 horsepower.

October 29, 200321 yr Author pci dll said: i bet the fin on the back makes it go faster actually the spoiler only creates downforce resulting in a slight improvement in traction; thus better handling as well as a slight accel. advantage. stickers on the other hand do nothing. I wouldn't bitch about the car either. It's an 02 Tiburon GT hopped up with a Veilside kit as well as a hopped up motor with a Greddy intercooling system and a turbo that will pump 35 psi .. making this beat close to 240 horse.
October 29, 200321 yr OOH LOOK YUO CAN DRIVE FAST!!!1 If you want to go places fast learn how to fly a plane, otherwise STFU and stop trying to race me. You just end up looking stupid in the end when I beat you. Your downforce amounts to exactly nothing after I've rammed you with something from when they still used metal to make cars (AKA John Deere 9520 Tractor). http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/FR/media/images/product/0070347_qt.jpg By the way, the 9520 has more horsepower than your car. Imagine that. And you think you have good shifting skills? This baby is an 18 speed powershift transmission. Let's see you outshift me.

October 29, 200321 yr you call that a car? speaking of horsepower vs weight what is it 170hp and 181ft torque for around 3,000 lbs? THATS SPEED GUYS want a real car buy from japan k. http://floggersg.com/phr34k/gtirnicca.jpg The Nissan Pulsar GTiR is by far the best sports compact on the face of the earth. 171kW power with the good old AWD power and the sr20dt stock engine can be pushed to around 600hp without touching the bottom end. "but the tiburon is cheap and it runs 'fast' mommy buy me that"
October 29, 200321 yr try a 1987 porsche 911SC powerplant shoved into a '62 karmann ghia convertible with the 1977 langheck 917 f1 body kit.... 3.6 litres of flat 6 oil/air cooled, cold air induction, third party fuel handling, twin 37psi turbos, 293 horses, total weight 1392 pounds wet 20X240X17's front, 30X275X17's rear (8" tread on 20 series low pro perrelli's front 17 inch wheel, 10" tread width 30 series low pro dunlops rear, 17 inch wheel) current 1/4 = mid 10's, current top speed benchmark was 243mph on rollers, 227 on street (S.I.R straight track, asphalt) I've still got about $20k of work to do on it before it's where I want it...probably gonna take me another 3-4 years. Been working on it for 30 months now.

I'm a little confused to what I was wrong about. And since all you little white boys ricing up your cars just disregard horsepower, I thought I would too. Either way, I win (even in a corn field). Don't believe? Well let's just do some math here. Really simple math. In fact, so simple, it doesn't require numbers. Tractor + collision + Tiburon = Wrecked Tiburon + Paint Scratch on Tractor. Guess who wins the race. Here's a hint: the Tiburon can't move anymore.
October 30, 200321 yr Quote heklim'] nothing liek adding a spoiler to a front wheel drive car to take away the downforce from the drive wheels idiot. BUT MILK HE OBVIOUSLY READ TEH SUPAR STREET MAGAZIEN!!! HOW COULD HE BE WRONG!!?!
October 30, 200321 yr hek...a spoiler (done right, not for looks) DOES increase handling traction, even on FWD cars, and does NOT reduce front traction...there's no "pivot point" to cause increase in rear friction to equal decrease in front friction. For increase in rear pseudo-weight to mean decrease in front pseudo weight, you have to have a pivot point in between causing it to react like a lever. All a spoiler does is counter lift created by forward motion (top of car is effectivly "curved" like top of airplane wing, bottom is relatively flat...again like airplane wing...result is lots of speed means air travels faster under car than over car...result is "lift" on upper surface...pseudo vaccuum...same effect that makes airplanes fly). So..basically, if you have a car that starts "floating" at higher speeds, a spoiler in the rear IS advisable. If it floats really badly, front spoilers are advisable, too, especially if that floating is severe enough, or speeds are high enough, that you start losing control traction (not drive traction) at the front tires at your top end. Another option used in place of spoilers lately that I like is cold air induction scoops mounted under the front bumper as "chin scoops", which increase the undercarriage "vaccuum" at higher speeds, giving a more effective downward drag on the whole body than a spoiler does. As an example of the "airplane wing" problem...there's footage on the net somewhere...can't find URL right now...showing a VW old beetle without ground effects or spoiler that was converted to run a 351 cleveland motor and roots racing tranny...the guy was headed for a sub-10 quarter mile, but the damned car literally took off gliding, floated offsides into stands, flipped over the safety rail, and killed a bunch of spectators..in the footage, you can clearly see the guy is off the ground when he starts floating, and is about 30 inches in the air when he collides with the wall.
October 30, 200321 yr I know physics, thank you...spoiler is usually less than 2' behind wheels, front wheels and point of max weight is usually right over front wheels, or within 12" of them...translation is you'd have to be doing in excess of 2800MPH to lift front tires off ground with force created by downpressure from spoiler on any car exceeding 1000 pounds total weight. Car will literally fly from lift/drag created by natural aerodynamics LONG before downpressure from a 6" spoiler is capable of pivoting wht weight in front over a pivot of the rear axel. this appiles to street racers, obviously, as everone alive has seen footage of funny cars and drag racers flipping themselves...but they're always flipped due to too much friction at rear wheels opposed by too little weight forward of them, not by air pressure. even hyrdoplane boats flip due to air getting UNDER them and lifting, with weight and propulsion point being behind the pivot point, not from air pressure from the spoiler. If you wanna argue racing related physics with me, you might want to actually learn something about them first, seeing as I've been an amature class racer since I was 15, and have held records at S.I.R., P.I.R., and K.C.R. in various cars I've done most of the rebuild on myself. One of my records still stands, actually (at least at state level)...fastest air cooled car ever raced at state level in Washington state...hasn't been broken since 1989, when I set it (1966 VW beetle with the 2 litre conversion kit, dual webber "Y" manifold, holley 2bbl conversion plates, and split feed 2 valve edelbrock ram induction belt driven setup...ran 10.289 1/4 at it's best). The car's long gone, but I've built and wrecked or sold four more quarter milers since, two oval trackers, and a mini stocker. Besides, if you read my above post, you KNOW I know my figures...you don't keep a car on the track at 227 MPH, or anywhere near it, if you don't understand airflow pressures over and under the body, and, as stated, my goal with the car I'm working on right now is to end up with a car that will only be allowed to run in the small block modified fuel classes (going with a three stage NOS/OX injection setup, which will choke my mix to NO outside air, 29 pounds NOS, 27 pounds pure canned O2, and fuel mix, on an injection system at stage 3...a guarentee that IF I use the third stage switch, I'm going to be rebuilding the motor top to bottom, but the calculations say it SHOULD boost max HP available over the 700HP mark, with stock 3.6l flathead porsche motor specs, and custom bolts installed) BTW..if you haven't noticed, I'm not a rice grinder fan...I like the looks of some of the jap racers out there, but I'm not prepared to dump $100K into a $15K car to get something decent out of it, when I can dump $30K into a $15K used euro sports car and do better, or dump $40K into a $4000 used musclecar for the same straightline speed, and shitty handling.
October 30, 200321 yr why? because psycho just owned everyone on the face of the earth? btw: psycho, i see you like porsche's...im getting a 2001 boxster s with a few aftermarket upgrades when i turn 17...i dont know technical shit about cars though, my dad is just selling it to me for around 20g - w00t!

October 30, 200321 yr All of you should be spending the money you spend on your car on penis enlargement pills might get you more girls then your $13,000 car that you put a shit load of money into to try to make it look better then the piece of shit it is.
October 30, 200321 yr Lockout, the boxter S is a fun car...not as much off the line as the 911/Carrerras, but MUCH better street handling...fuckers will hold onto the road like they're on rails. Downside: they're mid-engine, which means you're paying porsche shop hours for everything beyond putting gas in it...you don't trust anyone outside an authorized dealer to even change the oil on one while it's still under warranty, because the goddamned parts are expensive (I paid fucking $800 for a new crankshaft for my '87 911SC block, then had to pay for machining and new overbore bearings...newer parts are even more outrageous..in comparison, I can get a JEG or CarMods crank for a Ford 351M (the 5.8 block...or post 1980 351 cid) for about $250...and that's an aftermarket race-ready part price, not to replace a standard. As for penis enlargement, Squarepusher...don't need it...my wife seems happy...and since I was driving a 1983 Ford F100 and working as a pipefitter when we met, I don't think it was my wheels OR my money that originally impressed her, know what I mean? I only spend money on cars when I have it to spend...had it in high school..I was a country club kid...had it in the Army:they pay you AND cover room and board...didn't have shit for cashflow when I was working construction...but that was a LONG time ago :)
October 30, 200321 yr im looking into selling my car for an s15 silvia or a pulsar GTiR because damn the sr20det is a badass motor and s15s are drift MACHINES!
October 30, 200321 yr k all you faggots stop talking about your hotwheels , i think most of you should go back to the how old are you thread cuz 90% of your a fucking no older than 15 ,,none of you have cars well maybe like 2 or 3 of you realy have a car ...k??//
