va laws are gay

 

hi guys.. remember me :P

 

i sure do remember!!! our token Celica friend!!! fastest celica prolly in the 7 cities cause not theat many people put money into celicas. but you set the standard.

 

hehe.. i actually broke the celica in april.. no more street tuning for me.. its back at MRD gettin some low comp pistons and uppin the boost. lookin for 12-16psi. should have her back next week sometime. i'll post the numbers if everything goes well!!!!

 

well well well what is going on dude long time no see

 

still tryin to get it to work! lol.. but other than that everythings cool! how goes it with you?

 

i must see this celica in action. my car prolly wouldnt put up much of a fight...

 

not sure.. haven't had that much success with the turbo.. hopefully this last visit will solve all those problems

when its back in my care i'll take a trip up to badnews

 

shoulda went with TRD centrifical suercharger. kinda works for the tC

 

nah.. SC's for the Celica are not that great... sounds good. but power is lacking. $ for $ the turbo was the logical choice.

 

ahh i c. well sucks i wont be around to challenge you on the track next year. ill be overseas pouring money into my car for the following year. or ill dump it and buy a Delorean.

 

ahahaha.. when you leaving? maybe we could work somethin out..

 

welcome back and yes i remember you... i'm turbo now too

 

everything is good man just workin my ass off debating if i want to go back to the Army you know things of that nature

 

sweets! so how you likin the ride now?

well here's the damage.. 1 piston took a crap.. and i updated my sig

 

you need to hurry and get that fixed man. I look forward to seeing this once I get back.

 

it rides nice. its fast, but not fast enough... need a another forged motor. dyno'd at 258.94whp in my automatic.

 

it's not on me now.. MRD should have my headstuds today and tomorrow the pistons for a ETR of wed next week!! if it takes longer i'm not worried.. i'm still riding around in my 06 mustang GT


need another forged motor??? how much can the one you got handle?

 

I hope they treat your motor better than some other people have experienced. They don't seem to have the ability to deal with domestic motors.

 

Ah, but I found an exception to tint laws that applies to the SS/SC's and the SS/TC's. I want the ticket so that I can challenge it and see it works. Once there is a precident set it blows the whole thing wide open because police cannot tell the difference between different modeled cars such as a LE5 SS sedan versus LNF SS Sedan. I will attempt to prove that the SS/SC is considered a vehicle built for occassional off-road use using the Grand Am Series rules. There is a page that lists specific vehicles. PLus, I have had a lot discussions with the Sergeant that oversees vehicle inspections in VA. He shared this with me:

"However, 46.2-1052 of the Code of Virginia does not prohibit applying to the rear side windows or rear window of any multipurpose passenger vehicle or pickup truck sun-shading or tinting films that reduce the total light transmittance of such window or windows below 35 percent. A multipurpose passenger vehicle would be considered as any motor vehicle that is (i) designed to carry no more than 10 persons and (ii) constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off-road use."

SS/SC's and SS/TC's apply under this law because it (i) designed to carry no more than 10 persons and (ii) constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off-road use.

A race track is considered "off-road," and the SS/SC's and SS/TC's were built for participation in the Grand Am Series. I've also got proof that I race the 'balt at the track often. I think I've got this in the bag.

Also, VA vehicle inspections no longer look at window tint. This is left to the police to write citations for. This means the door is already open. Somebody just needs to walk through it. I'm gonna do that as soon as I get out there. I think it's stupid that SUV's can have darker tint, but cars cannot. I also just found out that I've got a friend from high school in Alexandria who is in support of this being changed as well. Along with an aunt-in-law that used to be a police officer for Newport News, I've got a game plan.

 

it blew up before i got the turbo on it. number 4 cyl rod bearing failed and cause the rod to cease up on the crank and get thrown through the front of the block. but there were other contributing factors such as leaving the car with someone i thought was a friend, never changed the oil and put 6k miles on the car while was on deployment.

i recomend no one leave their car with anyone except family members. ESPECIALLY DANEW

 

something i dont know

 

I see what you are saying, and I really didn't have much of a choice because of the timing. It was going to be with someone in the area that had a place to store it. There's too many people waiting to see what happens with mine, and I don't think that he wants to be responsible for anything going bad with mine..., he'd rather take credit for it working right.

 

well like i told adam and im going to tell anyone who needs to store their car i have plenty of space and my parents don't mind storing it in the yard with a cover and trust me i wount drive it cause i have my own **** to drive don't want to replace anything broken on someone eles is car

 

+1.. i have enought to deal with.. dont need someone else's money pit on my billz! lol..

D@mn that #4 cylinder!!! same as mine cept it was the um.. piston...
