[easternpiro1]

well guys... that just about does it for me... there i was at the spot last saturday and watching people line up and take off is fun and everything, so i decide to join in on the fun, against another 6gc (lo and behold!) the guy that owns it says it was sold to him by his cousin ( a guy on here by the name of psycho or psyko something) i know the guy, and i start telling him about 6gc and everything...

god...2 much typing...MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT:

line up with the car
1 get spanked.....TWICE....REALLY BAD!!!
2 get strange looks and laughed at...=humiliation
3 wonder why in the hell i got beat so bad
4 go talk to the guy that drove and find out he's been drinking and eating shooms!
5 wonder why in the hell the owner let him drive his celica like that (owner is a pal of mine)
6 look under the hood and find out its A GOD #%#%#%^# ST as well!! but a stick shift
7 ride home considered SERIOUSLY selling my car.

im still depressed and its wednesday...dont want to show my face at the saturday nite meets again...

I don't agree that it's cheaper than a Honda.

I dunno. I'm discouraged with my car as well. I'm falling out of these styles of cars. With Jeff's car being so heavily worshipped around here, and his last timeslip was a 14.1 i'm sort of discouraged. Even the 13.9 in his profile is kind of iffy to me. So much work for high 13's. I don't know if it was ran with or w/o slicks, but whatever.

If it makes any difference, a buddy and I are looking into getting a fox body and building it's motor. He has the knowledge and I can use the experience.

you also have to note jeff is not that modified from a stock RC185 3sgte motor...he has an EBC and ats fuel rail....(motor wise) but he's still running on a stock turbo......so i wouldn't say "so much work"(no way am i nocking jeff's car i love it)
really i think swaps in general put you around the low 14 second mark with good practice...nobody here (besides Jgreen) has an aftermarket turbo setup on a 3sgte..and even then we don't know how fast it is in the 1/4 mile...so i wouldn't get discouraged...but i will agree on the fact our cars do take a little more work and love then your main stream tuner mobile...
