i just started a thread before about a race i had. it was closed because were not alloud to talk about drag racing apparently...??? i never said in the thread that it was on the street... i did that on purpose because everyone expects that its always on suburban roads.

so just asking, is anyone alloud to talk about drags? or are we only alloud to talk about hyperthetical drags like always goes on in this forum? always asking, "will i beat this car with these mods" and people reply yes or no but no one every finds out. even if those people have certain mods its up to the driver.

so to cut it short... are we aloud to talk about any type of drag that actual took place? maybe if i replaced me driver with a "mate" that was driving the thread wouldnt of closed. or we are all forbidden to talk about drags unless its "make believe"?

OORRRRR are we only alloud to compare 1/4 mile times and 60ft times on paper with other cars that proberly werent even there on the same night....

word to ya mother :D:spank::D:3some::angry:

If we didn’t get so many p plater tools coming on here saying omg bro I full chopped this sick wrx or what do I need to beat this LS1 as I got burnt by a couple a few nights ago on the streets, my pride has been hurt and I need to get it back pfft

There is an official drag area on these forums for a reason, if you bothered to search you would have found it. Having the odd squirt at the lights is all fun and good with no one else around but I hear quite often about some tool racing a wrx weaving through traffic at high speeds... I am just waiting for those people to appear on the news either in a hooning segment or a another skyline has crashed let’s ban everyone under 25 from driving them... */end rant*

If its not on a track we don't really wanna hear about it here. Its tools like you that give us all a bad name...

The forum has an intergrity to protect as well

I don't think theres any need for personal attacks... give him the benifit of the doubt first...

i think as long as your not coming across bragging about doing stupid things then you're generally ok... i didn't read your post... maybe pm the mods of the section that deleted it to ask them what they didn't like so you don't post like that again...

I dont mind people starting threads talking about drag racing thats in a controlled enviroment, its just street drag racing is what annoys me.

My hatred is fuelled further, when the thread starter, brags about how cool he is, because he beat a <Insert car here> at a set of traffic lights.

The secound rule about street racing is there is no such thing as street racing...

Anyhow... dude, your other thread comes across as street racing plain and simple.

If i was mod of this section, i would have locked it aswell.

And car "X" vs car "Y" threads arent tolerated here, and thats what the other thread is almost aswell.

wasent at a proper "paid" to get in drag strip, in my town we have a closed down small air strip that not many people know about, which is soon going to be ripped down and houses going up.

also i thought people wouldnt mind talking about drags or races because its a type of sport and a lust for power.

^^ that they take to officially controlled events..

Carefuly where you race, especailly when you are in the middle of nowhere.. If something happened - and it can.. you'd be in some serious shit.. and you wonder why people criticise your posts..

you say "I wasn't street racing" well - sorry.. not much difference between what you were doing and on the street racing..

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
