made_guy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i'm sooo devastated. on my way home from the gym i notice a family sized sedan - that looked a bit like a new camry or something coming up quick from behind me, so i think to myself "haa! you idiot, don't you know i just fitted my dump pipe the other day!?" and squirt it and easily outrun him on the straight. but he keeps it up after i ease back so i do it again, but get caught behind a car so its a bit of a restless wait....then we round a bend and the car in front goes the other way, so i punch it up this quarter mile part near my house (i measured it ) and gain 100 metres or so on him, he's clearly no competition on the straights, but round the bends he was keeping up pretty well and it's pissing me off!! Though i have to say i wasn't going all that hard cos i have the stock wheels on at the moment and they're losing traction all over the place, especially in the cold weather, what i thought to be a f*cking camry or something had pretty freakin good handling. alllthough he did go waaaaaaay wide, like fully into the other lane around a tight bend that i hugged as if i was going 40ks (its got perfect camber on the inside). SO annnnyway, i'm just cut, and feel like a little bitch. Maybe I should put my 9"s back on the rear and get some new suspension.... Oh and plus, i'm suuuuuure it was like a sport-optioned model this person was driving, whatever it was 10000% sure!

I had no traction and 2nd into 5th doesnt work to well either. Not bad for a 15.5 at 114mph.

Oh and plus, i'm suuuuuure it was like a sport-optioned model this person was driving, whatever it was 10000% sure! To start off with, that is EXTREAMLY difficult to read. Sports model camrys etc dont have anymore power than standard. New camrys are also only 2.4l 4cyls now. The old sportivo v6s really werent that quick either. Either way, I'm sure he did know you had a new dump pipe fitted. Hence he would have SURELY got a supercharger or something fitted specifically just to scare you a bit.

Zilch* Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 LOL what a funny thread... First off: why are you racing a camry on a public road? I'm guessing you were doing a bit more than say 60km/hr Save it for the track and by the sounds of things, fix your handling issues before you do decide to give it some around corners.

Keegs Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 This thread is hilarious!!! By far the funniest part is this: "haa! you idiot, don't you know i just fitted my dump pipe the other day!?" and this.. (its got perfect camber on the inside)??? Long story short you almost got pwned by a reasonably slow domestic car despite your obvious "race like" driving skill, new dump pipe and perfect camber (on the inside) zomg....it's school holiday time right?

made_guy Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) This thread is hilarious!!! By far the funniest part is this: "haa! you idiot, don't you know i just fitted my dump pipe the other day!?" and this.. (its got perfect camber on the inside)??? haa, yeah... cos the bit about the dump was obviously serious... and it IS pretty funny that you don't know what road camber is, but you go girl!! and then... zomg....it's school holiday time right? ahhhh so that's why you're up late on the net trying to lure school kids to 'ride' with you....livin' the dream man. but yeah i did expect at least one tosser to 'ave a go' at what is a obviously (to most...) humorous post, so its all good. annnnyway, nah definitely not an aristo or chaser, it had a more chunkier euro look to it, and those 'feline' style headlights all the manufacturers are doing these days. noooo idea what the plates looked like, but it was white not black. look it's just a clear indication that word is spreading about my stock 33 and people are out looking to beat me, and are trying to do so by any means possible. lanky is right, it was an aurion most definitely, and he probably HAD fitted a supercharger. Probably a nitrous kit too the sneaky f*cker... . haha, looking back, i don't know why i was even upset, i mean i was only cruising round corners in a 12 year old car with stock suspension and wheels on cheap tyres.
