Get a Supra. Lol

[Foolinaround]

I can not afford it.

Berta doesn't look like 2 wheel drive SUVs belong in the snow :P

Come out to one of our south jersey region autocrosses and you'll get the bug to go fast again. Straight line stuff and/or drifting is cool for a year or two but gets old fast, using/building your driving skill to go faster and seeing it reflected in your times is much more fun and almost never gets old. Plus you get to buy parts that don't explode or get torn off the car

I'm going through something with my whip right now but I'd like to go out and run. My buddy wants me to run his kart in philly region this year

Lol twas def a fun night. I would of never got stuck if I didn't move to where neil was tho.

Speaking of which, white neil got home fine which makes me wonder more... Who's damn fluid was that?

[JerseyTuscani]

I will say this from speaking with some of the guys at auto-x, they seem to be alot more in tune than the average "street racer". Of course there are expceptations to that such as Alex with his Talon or Steve with whatever car he has at that moment...lol. I can't wait for the spring to bring the Tiburon to auto-x for the first time. Hopefully I don't mess up too bad...lol. Ciotti what class would I be in?

Lol what do you mean by in "tune with" and you still have the tib? I thought you sold it. Btw steve has the green automatic talon now, thing is pretty nutty to say the least.

[JerseyTuscani]

you know the insides and outside of your cars and you know what it is and is not capable of. alot of people buy built cars and don't know what to do if something goes wrong.

Ill pass.

[Fujito]

Do what you want. There are a lot of shady places out there. Turbotrix, DG Motors, etc.

I'll stick with Street Solutions. He doesn't do his own tuning but I trust him completely with my cars. Did my 1jz swap on my first Supra, my LSD on my 88, and hasn't done anything on the MKIV but just finished a 2JZ swap on his SC300 so I know he's familiar with everything.

I autocross and I don't know a ****ing thing about my car. If it had a mechanical failure I'd be up **** crick. I could baffle you with suspension terminology and a community college level understanding of physics, though!

I thought u were speaking from a deep metaphorical connection lol.Ill be the first to admit though I dont know everything there is to know about my cars. I know more than some car people but I still don't know all the bells and whistles.

But the level of the average DSMers knoweledge has evolved in the last 5 years being that people that own these DSM cars now are older and have gained a lot more knowledge, all the kids (or "car guys" as you would put it) have been weeded out. I would really put myself on the level of the average DSMer, by no means a DSM guru, but by no means your typical "car guy" either.

[InvisibleMonkey]

Alex, you should get an NA Supra and swap it...I'd love to see SOMEBODY build a sick Supra in the area. I don't have money to do so since I'm trying to go back to school soon.

You missed out on the best times, man. Evo and Audi time attacks on Tōge Road. The Evo X continues to amaze me over how many Newtonian Laws of Physics it can bend and break, regardless of road conditions.
