Meph, you're not gonna take an AWD Talon in an N/A

Those are all turboed 200hp if I remember right. Thats to all 4 wheels so he'll launch better from a start and from 60 or so he'll have his turbine spooled up and ready to rock instantly.

ya it was raining and along that awd audi, the talon was an AWD so ya they both do better in the rain. plus we started at 60 to 130 , if i was to get a roling start at like 5mph i wouldev killed it.

Oh and i have slicks on my REX he he.
By 60 to 130 I assume you mean a rolling start going that fast...correct if I am wrong, ok?

FIRST--not tryin to be rude here, but tell us....just how many months have you had your license??? You're running a rear wheel drive car....with slicks(??)....in the rain....at those speeds?? Your car is 18 years old, and since you have told us you have no other mods, I would guess that your struts are original(in other words, SHOT TO HELL). Before you kill yourself or someone else, learn how the hell to drive...

Here is a plan for your success with that 86...

1)--get a clue about how to drive and how not to drive--your car is not in the shape it needs to be in for you to be asking that much of it like you are!
2)--get everything working STOCK and properly before doing any further mods. If it isn't right before the go-fast gear, it will be even worse once you blow that cash. ALSO--get someone to help you with the work. Sounds like you are not too familiar with this car, or any car actually, since you removed the PS belt, and then cant even figure out why the PS doesn't work("I have removed the power steering belt and it's a pain to turn i don't know why cause the pump is still there?")
3) ONLY ONCE 1 and 2 are completed, THEN look at mods. You need to keep in mind that your car has to be able to SAFELY handle what you are asking of it, or there is no point. Once you have 1 and 2 done, I would do a search on this forum for "beefy na" and read that thread a bunch of times.....if you need more info than that, THEN post a thread like this one.

I am sorry if you think this was rude....wait a minute--no I am not. I take that back. I am tired of seeing people do dumbass things with cars and killing the innocent ones who are just trying to get somewhere. I ran with fire rescue for years, so I know what I am talkin about.

oh, and a rolling start at 5mph would have done nothing for you--our engines do not have the low end torque you would need for that. That plus the AWD and the power of your competition, and you would still have gotten spanked.

Thanks for playing....

You want a fast NA...

Am I the only one that sees a certain degree of denial in his sig quote?

Slicks in the rain on a rear wheel drive and your whining about loosing to AWD cars . . .

his car is for sale, I say we all chip in and buy it from speed racer here and save an RX-7 from the headlines. I am good for a C note.


BTW, selling stickers on your site already. Wouldn't more than 4 members be a bigger priority?

What i ment about the power steering is that , my buddy's RX has no P/S he took of the belt and p/s system , i just took of the belt to test the HP increase and i noticed that my car turns harder than his. And my question was is it because the p/s system was still on there. <- i put the belt on.
and to tell you can totaly feel a difference w/o P/s
