ACTUALLY, no, it hasnt had as much downtime as yours, number 2 mine isnt hack, number three, running nines and running 11's is a big difference, number three, my car is running. and im not on here telling other people how easy and cheap it is to build a fast car. Ill be the first to admit it takes time to build something like that, and I give credit to everyone that has a project, my project was by no means cheap, however you claim yours is, yet you still can finish your own.

shut the **** up.

You dont know a thing about my car...

Nothing in this thread is about my car (aside from tires). The "cheapness" is trying to help someone that I know doesn't have the coin to do it properly (thread starter). I by no means who do what I am suggesting him to do to my own car...

MY car is done 100% properly. Hack? Get the **** outa here. There are four reasons my car has taken so long:

1. It is a full body restoration, not just an engine/turbo setup.
2. I don't have access to a garage so the car only gets touched weather permitting.
3. I have been a student up until august working part time. It is hard to get the funds together to blow on a properly built car. It could have been done along time ago if I cheaped out *cough* supra mark *cough*.
4. I do EVERYTHING myself, from welding to paint to fuel system to audio to suspension, ect.

My car was down for ONE year while I built a T4 setup in my old car. It ran.

My new car has now been done about a year doing a complete restoration (not easy in the weather) and whole new setup.

You always talk a big game on the net and don't talk at all in person...


:nono:

HAHAH, its so easy to get you guys going, thats the entertaining thing. I could care less, what you do, I dont talk in person probaly because Ive never met you. well, if you get your busa slayer running, let me know, we can go whenever your ready, Now i know why big mark gets such a kick out of it, you supra guys are to easy.

I have met you a few times...

So let me get this straight, for you to actually have your car out, you NEED these tires and these ones alone. No other tires can be used to race from a roll?

So you need a pair of tires on top of the other 4? When you said full body restoration, you neglected to say you were adding another axle onto it.

I'm not paid by the hour, but, if you want to be like that then yeah.... It would actually amount to a little bit more than that if you were to do the math. But that kind of money is chump change nowadays. I still drive shitboxes!!!

You are confusing me with someone else who owns a supra and can't drive.

Race from a roll? What the **** is that?

Whenever your triaxle supra is ready, let us know.

Very entertaining, where to start...

1. Get a GTE block, it'll safe yourself trouble. Usually they DO come with a turbo. If you pay 400 for it, probably not, if you pay 600+ it probably will.
2. Adam, your car doesn't run and hasn't ran since we had the maf-t on it for 5 minutes.
3. Todd, your mustang was down longer than any supra at this point.
4. Again Todd, you pay a shop to do your . Some of us don't spend every last cent of our paycheck for someone else to do the job for us.
5. Mark, you of all people know that supra owners go from a dig as well.
6. My car will probably run this coming year, but is going to outlast all of yours for off-the-road time and I don't give a ****. :biggrin:

ACTUALLY, my car was never in a shop, I did it all in my driveway too. I had a buddy tig weld the intercooler piping, and I did the rear end and motor at a shop, but I was the one doing it, I didnt pay anyone for labour, And yes, my car took a little longer, I took my time and enjoyed building it, You guys take 3 years to build a 12 second car, takes me 3 to build a 9 second car, big difference.

Same old same old.

Just keep on keepin on.

Todd, if we owned mustangs we would have had 9 second cars with ease.
And last I checked, I haven't touched my car in almost 2 years, so it's hardly part of the "build" time. 12 second? Right...If I wanted to make my car for drag I'd make it for drag and slap a TH on there and run 9's with just 600whp.

so no comeback about me not building my car????
you think you could build a mustang to run nines on your budget???
you think any one can do it???? hahahah, your right, it will only cost a few bucks and a weekend of your time???
buddy keep dreaming, whats the fastest pass you have ever done in your car???? thats what I thought, you dont know what it takes,
A supra with 1000rwhp cant run nines, let alone your bucket with 600rwhp, hahahaha this is so entertaining.

Ive never understood this angle. I cant speak for todd, but i paid to make my car have 660RWHP and it didnt take every cent off my cheque. :dunno:

Some people have the money and dont have the time to go "fiddle" with their cars in the parking lot. I rather get the job done right by a professional than to play around with my motor that cost more than most 89 running, clean, Supras.

Anyways, i'd like to setup a track day for GTcars this coming summer, maybe we can hire Rich Christenson and Todd vs SupraAdam can happen :thumbsup:

The biggest thing is, all the money saved on labour can be put back into the car for more parts/goodies. I'll use myself as an example. I put my car together, which easily saved me $5-7G's. Now who wouldn't want that extra money to throw back at their car, rather than to give somebody else their hard earned cash. There is nothing wrong with getting it "professionally" done if your not inclined to work on it yourself.

Look at it this way....you have 2 guys and they both have a 10grand budget to play with. One is going to do all his own work, while the other is paying someone to do theirs. Who in the end should be faster???

^^^^Amen to that brother^^^^

I know where my limitations are and know that sometimes I'd rather be enjoying a weekend or travelling rather than do a clutch, which is a bitch in this car. Or let a professional do it cause it can get very frustrating

But I understand the technology and out-diagnose mechanics on this car so...

I had some peasants ripping on me because I get deep discounted parts with sponsorship. Oh well if I know how to run that angle and get the company more than they expected hate away.

They were like " man if I had a sponsorship..." :loser:
