No.. 3 Jon's.. i'm Jon too..... blah!

 

i want one! :D

 

Well lets not get ahead of ourselves. With the stock psi greddy comes with I HIGHLY doubt any sti or evo's will be taken. Now turn the boost up a few more pounds and then you will have a race IMO. Not saying you are wrong I would just be very shocked to see that happen with low psi.

 

im not saying every sti/evo will be obliterated. it takes a top notch driver to run low 13's stock, even with the AWD. i think a mediocre sti driver and a good 8 driver would be a very close 1/4 race. anything farther and the 8 would take it, given that the trap speed estimate of 111mph is correct.

there's an sti in my garage, so i get to compare the two cars quite a bit :D

 

...so where are the daytime videofootage? :-)

 

we got about 4 inches of rain today.. the 8 stayed in the garage all day... sorry guys.. if it's any consolation, if the drag stip is open this sunday, I'll be taking video of my 1/4 runs.. if Jeff comes down for it, we can tape each others runs.

 

Sounds like a promise to me... :D

 

Your video sucks... The first one should be an audio clip and the second one why did you have us watch 13.5 minutes of crap before your first run.

PS.. Next time.. Don't try to do your little commentary.

Congrats on the turbo.

 

Nice. If that was an attempt at humor you really need to work on your delivery.
jds

 

heh. I have an easier solution - don't download the videos if they annoy you so much.

 

Well, here is one for the "Short Attention Span Theatre"

I have one word to say


OUFS!!!!

 

That second video was great. I just thinkyou should edit it andget rid of allthe regular driving. Theres really only three or four actual portions of it that actually show your cars performance. I liked the part where you pointedout the fact that BOV is somewhat audible from within the cabin(I definitely heard it). But 16 min is a lot to seek through forwhats really only about 3 minutes or so of actual turbo performance. Thanksfor going through the hassle of making that video though.

 

You wouldn't have to go through all this if you just had girls. No one would be bored with you just driving around.

 

I think it was a very demonstration. I know that a lot of people want to know how the car drives around town as well as when you gun it. So I figured I would document the city driving part in this particular video.

No worries, I won't be doing that anymore. Trying to find a little remote for my camera so I can put a button on my steering wheel to turn the record on and off.


P.S. Jeff, if you add anymore videos, let me know so I can add the link to the first post of this thread so people can find it easier... <-- talk about a run-on sentence.. lol

 

Jeff, in the video you are losing traction with 2nd gear! Sweeeet

 

I'm actually loosing it in third as well. The car gets pointed a little bit to the left before I catch that mini-van.

Driving the '8 can be a bit of "Dukes of Hazzard" now if I'm not careful.:D

 

/\/\/\ I know the feeling.

Mod Edit: Gross pic removed, im assuming that the admin on which forum is was imaged linked to changed it to the nude pic once he saw the hotlinking going on.

 

I wouldn't even bother with doing that. It's better than you record everything, then cut up the video on your computer. I assume you're using movie maker on windows.... it has a button to start and end sections of video.

 

LOL, you have the same blow-off valve sound as the stage 1 turbo on the 8 in NFSU2, like a little chirping bird..

 

please in your next video have someone film you as you do a slow drive by and shift in front of the camera so we may hear the BOV from a on-lookers point of view and some shots of the car taking off from a stand still so we can see just how much kick out of the rear tires their is that you speak off when shifting.
Please. :D

 

hehe is you think that is bad you should see one of my posts tha ti do late at night....you need a linguist to decypher it :p

 

Haha..hijacking your own thread..classic.. anyways..just wanted to chime in and say thanks for the install and the updates.. really appreciate it. and when the Army switches my airframe from the OH-58D to something else..(very likely an OH-6/type.. i'll let you know what it's like..for now i'm lovin my other rotary craft....the Kiowa Warrior Can't wait til my warranty expires!!! :D

 

That's the best read I've ever had to go with my morning pot of coffee. A HUGE congratulations to you and thanks for the vids!

 

love that chirping bird blow off valve mazdamaniac...what kind is it?
