    Had some fun on the highway

    Coming home tonight from Tampa, about an hours drive. As I'm pulling onto the highway, I see a white Jetta that's lowered, has a Bora badge. I figured I'd try to get him to "play with me" if you would. No bite after about a minute or so. I'm in the right lane, he's in the left, and center is...

    Went to the track last night...

    I shaved off .1 seconds by "shaving off" my back seat and passenger seat. Other than that, didn't do anything else special. Of the three runs, my fastest was 16.6, slowest was 16.72. I'd say those are some pretty consistant numbers. I raced 2 integras actually...Both running nitrous oxide. One...

    Don't grab the steering wheel too hard..

    Cause if you did it like I did, you'd only be typing with 4 fingers on your left hand. I sprained my pinkey on my left hand after my hand slipped off the wheel and I tried to grab it. ( I was doing an e-break U-turn).

    Went racing last night

    My best run was a 16.70 in the 1/4. Didn't lose one race. I ran against a yellow protege 5, a saturn, a couger, and a mystique. Had a great time. Times varied from 17.4-16.7

    Drive train loss

    Ok, well, did some talking with friends. And I can only say one thing about our car's stock whol drive train setup. It sucks. On an automatic car, normal power loss is approximately 20%. On a manuel car though, it should only be about 5%. Mazda really screwed us over on this one. Didn't someone...

    Anyone seen corksport lately?

    Well, if anyone else has noticed, this is for those who haven't. If you go to www.corksport.com 's website, and goto the Protege page, a couple new links have been added. The one of main interest to me would probably be that Protege Drag Racing Project one there. Granted it goes nowhere, still...

    I sooo owned a Civic EX

    Early today I was down on a little known road going to the local mall. This road is 4 lanes with a nice sized median all the way. The road itself is only 6-8 months old, so it's still pretty new and black. Well, before we got onto that part of the road this younger guy was riding my ass. He was...

    Spark plugs and ignition systems oh my!

    Ok, what's the deal with that stuff? What is good? What should I stay away from? I've got a little bit of money saved up(not enough for a turbo unfortunately!) and would like to work out the minor things like an MSD ignition system and new spark plugs ect along with some astetic stuff. Please...

    clear side markers and headlamp

    Ok, I'm just wondering how does one go about removing the side markers and how does one remove the headlamp assembly. I'm going to be getting clear side markers soon, and when I do those I'm gonna modify my headlamp assembly a little bit too. For the head lamp do I need to remove the whole front...

    Backpressure anyone?

    Ok, now, in the wonderful world of small Japanese cars with 4 cylinder engines, backpressure is a must for torque (unless you have a forced induction car, then who cares about back pressure). Why? I really don't know. But I was discussing this with my friends and we figured that when I removed the...

    I beat a Celica GT...

    2001 Celica GT with CAI, custom exhaust(strait pipe i believe), and header. Got him off the line then stayed about half a cars length in front of him the entire time. We stopped off and chatted. He actually goes to my school. He said we should do it again. I just feel happy that I beat him and...
