First off I still have a lot of friends out their. Went out last night and didnt race but bull shitted with people for a couple hours and didnt have to hide in the corner of the parking lot.
Then found out all that money that Mario has put in his car and it broke right after he got it back. Now hw has to put a bunch more money in it due to the fact I heard its his problem and not the people that worked on it. Scratch your nuts or Juggernuts Or who ever you are, Don't be a fool and let just anyone mess with your car. Id go to Trent in Davenport.

Vic-
Its post like this that make you look like an old peice of shit that just wants to get the bullshit started again cuz you have nothing better to do.
If you hate rob, sally and the streetpsi people so much, dont come on to a site where they frequent, and make a post like this. Its only going to start a big pissing match again and everyone is going to call you names and make you sad all over again.

Do you think I care what you think. I'm just saying what I heard and what I think about a disability when she is out their jerking that back around in a car. Isn't this the trash thread? When you get older maybe you will see the light!!
Ive only talked to Them a few times out on the street. I dont know them at all.
Another thing Dubs, Sally tried to get me to say fuck the MSCA guys and be friends with them. What kind of a person does that? Then talked bad on our phone conversation about one of the sweetest girls on this board. Now you tell me whats up with that. If you dont like my post dont read them, Its that simple.
I just feel sorry for this Mario kid. I bet he put more money in his car then I have and its sitting again broke down.
As far as the street psi, I asked George about joining but he never really gave me an answer to it. The people that where out last night was a nice bunch and I dont need anything else. If I dont race on the street it is all that much better. I can do it at the strip.

Apparently Vic, you don't give a damn about your spouse then, but I do love mine and if my riding with him makes him happy it's well worth the pain.
You stupid FUCK, I've been disabled for over 14 yrs due to cancer, NOT because of my back ! You wanna pick a fight with me you NO-Nuts fucker bring it on !!
Isn't this the trash thread? When you get older maybe you will see the light!!

Another thing Dubs, Sally tried to get me to say fuck the MSCA guys and be friends with them. What kind of a person does that?
Actually, what I said was "what kind of a so-called friend would use another to do his dirty work" and "you didn't need friends like that".
Your brain cells are SOOOO FRIED from all the dope that it's nothing but jelly and confusion.
I never once said "fuck the MSCA guys", I don't even really know any of them so that would be stupid on my part to say something like that, DON'T YA THINK, ohhh that's right YOU DON'T THINK HOW COULD YOU WITH OUT LIVE BRAIN CELLS.
Then talked bad on our phone conversation about one of the sweetest girls on this board.
Why make-up shit Vic this issue has been dead for months, hmmmm must be that time of month for you to be on the rag. If I have something to say to someone I'll say it to THAT PERSON, I sure as hell wouldn't talk shit about any of the girls with you........... that's for sure.
Now you tell me whats up with that. If you dont like my post dont read them, Its that simple.
Got nothing better to do Vic, like fuck your wife or something, besides trying to start shit, hmmmmm she probably doesn't want any part of your nasty ass either can't blame her for that.
I just feel sorry for this Mario kid. I bet he put more money in his car then I have and its sitting again broke down.
Are you sure you feel sorry for Mario, or just using him as the excuse to start bullshit with me, I think it's the latter Vic. You seem to have that problem, always bringing others into your bullshit to stir up stink because your not happy unless your stirring that pot.
Give it a rest already.

Vic you are retarded, go to trent in davenport?? what did he do for you, put in a tranny?? I sure hope he didnt fuck that up, the kind of work they did on that mario guys car isnt just nuts and bolt and replacing shit, its a little more in depth than what trent did for you.. and it doesnt really matter who does the work but on a car like that its gonna be constant tuning/maintenance/fixing stuff and you should realize that.. I wouldnt bring my stuff to trent in a million years, especially for anything more in depth than replacing spark plugs. The funny thing is the only reason your in the MSCA is because you dont like street psi, dont worry you wont be in that "gang" for long

Sorry Ashley,
about my language didn't mean to offend the other members or you, only a certain someone that started it.
I only visit here once in awhile as I have other things to do with my life beside talking crap to people but "someone" decided to talk smack about me and I could not let it pass like that.
Life is to short to waste time bad mouthing others when there's better things to do, I've wasted enough of my time on Vic and this thread, but I will be back if he starts again on me or my husband as it is my business when it comes to Rob.
I know you can understand where I'm coming from and so could Zac, as you two do the same for each other out of love.

Vic, for your information you stupid illerate old fuck. the only problem with Mario's car is the shit fork broke, the fork the engages the clutch. They break deal with it. It was a factory installed part and is what 12 years old, it is not common procedure to change those. Also the car has a small battery draw, which means when it sits for along period of time the battery goes dead, that is electrical nothing to do with motor building. I know what went into your motor Vic, and Mario's motor is as good if not better. If you wanna race your turd against it lets lock it up, tell ya what I will drive. So like Dubs and Scotty said stop trying to start shit, just bring your mouth and your car and we can settle this on the street, but whats funnyer yet is a couple of those guys you were hanging with said, and I quote " That Old fuck vic was out looking for someone to hang with" just kept huvering around. And do you truely think the MSCA are your buddies, ya to your face. So get a clue...Ed
69gt4speed
03-18-2007, 05:56 PM
As usual Ed's on it, he has some useful info. I didn't know about the Mario details.
On a lighter note I got my first test today, a old buick stage 1 gs 455 so the fender said, I know lil about those except the old racers that use to kick my azz. Nice to see it though, probably getting it ready for cruzin.
I tried to keep it funny Ashley, After I posted went and got a mag mount for one of my dial indicators, met up with the buick, put down some rubber. I figure Vic has to vent, no big deal. Yo Vic, stang 1/0... So ya better jump on the offer from Ed....

Vic you made a post just out of the blue to make fun of Rob and Sally about some argument that no one has posted on in over a week. Like i said if you want to hate people, try to do it silently. Cause every petty post you make only makes you look stupid. ( vic im not trying to bash on you, but your topics you make and post's you make are just rediculous) But i can assure you that when i get older i will not be making a topic on a fourm out of the blue just to spread some petty gossip and make some cheap shots at someone for claiming to have a disability weather or not i think they in fact do. ( i dont even do that now) Vic you will get a little more respect from people if you had more self control when you fire up your browser.

as I am reading through this post not knowing the people being talked about barely.. and vice/versa, kinda find it hard to read about how I dont do nothing other than bolt ons I have built very many engines, very many cars, more than just nuts and bolts, and spark plugs.. but hey everyone has there oppinions. When you build an engine, Tranny, car , etc... with higher than stock hp usually dble if not more, and your doing it for these kids that are just waiting to rip into it broke in or not... so happy to put the pedal down and with so much power than when they brought it in just want to see how much more. I have dealt with it a many times, and more times than not it was a part failure not an installation failure.. Vic you of all people shouldnt be slandering someone especially if you dont have the facts. I sit here today and still get slandered for things in the past, and not to many of those people slandering me have ever had a first hand experience with me its mostly hearsay, and as most hearsay goes the story changes from one person to the next, and is usually ones sided. Ed is right, The part is old and is probably pushing on a 2900 lb preasure plate intended to push on a 1700 lb stock preasure plate.. nothing to do with the installer at all.. but as you can see, same as it has been with me the installer once again gets the blame.. and if any one knows dsms Like I do they will also tell you that they are devil cars. and need daily maintainance, especially in built up applications. I have Come Along Ways, And I have a partner who has taught me alot, not skimping do everything morally correct, and dont take shortcuts. do everything as if you were a surgeon and someones life depended on what you were doing. if you do everything right and on the up and up, you dont have to skirt around and think back whether you didnt do something wrong or not... Everybody makes mistakes including me, and when I make a mistake I own up to it.. as I would think Ed would also. get the facts place blame where it belongs. The shift fork, plain and simple.

Trent Said it "devil cars" Marios car is just that. When you take someone who has no knowedge in cars and put then In a car like that who as been though a few rough owners, stuff breaks everything that has gone wrong with that car is something we did not replace, like its cursed. Has nothing to do with install or tuning. As far as the comment to juggernate I hope I can build him a car that will hand you your ass for that stupid comment. If you dont like me or any streetpsi members keep it to yourself vic. I dont say anything about you!

I have hung around long enough to know Trent, Ed and George. They have some fun but if they made errors or something they say so. Same goes for both of us here. Meantime Vic ya just......

^ Actually from what I hear Vic has some pretty good reaction times at the track compared to most people :)
I think this problem has pretty much worked itself out. There was a little while where me and Ash didn't care for Anita that much, but over time she has reminded us of what kind of person she is, and reminded us of why we liked her before all this shit happened.
Vic I still maintain that you are a good person. I've met you and talked to you and you are just a nice old man.... nothing more to say about you other than you're just a nice guy. You and George are WAYYY more alike than either of you will ever admit. George is a real good kid when you talk to him for a while too, and that goes for Ed also.
This is a rut that everyone has gotten themselves into, and everyone keeps reminding eachother of it, and that's why its so hard for this stuff to end. Everyone's just gotta relax and I think Anita said it best when she said life it too short for this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Trevor!! I messed with it some but would like you to look at it and tweek it. With base set 4 degrees faster I took some total timing out and added 2% on fuel from like 4 grnd to 8 to get a 10.5 A/F But havent messed with it for a few days. Also had to lower dead time to bring trims back to 0. Just wanted to go safe but looks like its time to unleash it.
I would like the shocks Trevor but tapped out for a couple weeks from buying this other turbo.

Never said anything about a few days, just a hour or two. Cause i didnt feel like stoping and having you fix your Vacum lines every pull. It took me 20min to tune Marios car I didnt have anything pop off. Just when he drives it he brakes it, nothing i can do about that.

Im not trying to start something, but isent a 9.00 car and a 9.00 bike the same if the 60 and mph are close?? I dunno why some people are scared to race bikes i mean its all a power to weight ratio, and the faster the bike the easyer it spins/pulls wheelys on the street... just my opinion..[/quote]
Theres nothing to start Jesse, I have been saying this for months. But we will race on the track on a Pro Tree, for reasons being. No cheating, no spinnig, no excuess's. I mean is this not the same as bringing a twin turbo V8 Vette to race a 4 banger? One of those questions that makes ya go HUM! :bigthumb:

Yeah but bikes usually hit their potential times a lot easier without stuff breaking. I hear about Busa's running 9 second passes (or faster) all day long with no problems. Rarely hear that about any 9 second car. Something always breaks.... or something was always tuned wrong.
I don't know a ton about this stuff so I could be wrong. But oh well, I'd never put money down to race a bike. (If I had a 9 second car). Like I said, just seems like its much more likely the bike will complete the 1/4 successfully.

Zac...You are wrong weather a car or bike, going from point A to B in 8 or 9 secs is all the same at the end of the 1/4 mile. Its power to weight ratio usuall comes out to be pretty equal. Anyway its a 9 sec bike Vs a 8 sec car I beleve, so who has the advantage?
Jappbox
03-20-2007, 10:31 PM
well its simple like this
Car:
800hp@2000lbs = .4 power to weight ratio
Bike:
300hp@800lbs= .375 power to weight ratio
Car has better Ratio.

03-20-2007, 10:33 PM
I understand that part. 2 of anything that goes from point a to point b at the exact same amount of time would be a good race.
But what I was trying to say is that it seems to me like these busas are running 9's and 8's or better all day at the track with no problems. The cars that are running 9's and 8's.... it seems like half the time they might get ONE 9 second pass before something breaks.
I agree that in a fair race, it shouldn't matter one bit. I'm just asking if it's more likely that a motorcycle actually finish the race.

thats saying the busa weighs that with a 200pound rider ;) and a race foxbodys are light, my numbers could be off the car could make more power, or the bike weigh less, thats if the bike makes 300hp. i know stock busa makes 145 so thats big jump..

no seriously im actually sort of asking a question here.
I've honestly never been to the track you guys. For a guy who runs a fairly successful car forum, I don't know much about this stuff.
I know the business part of running a website/business. lol. I'm just saying through hearsay it seems to me like these Busa's are running those good times a lot easier than cars. Seems like they can run good times all day long. Seems like most cars have a lot of trouble consistantly running good times like 10's and 9's.
Hell I don't know. Im not arguing I'm just talking.

A fairly decent fox should be right around 2800 to 2900# w a 200# driver. They don't need huge hp to do well. And I have yet to see a busa 60ft that good, no 1.2's or 1.3's, heck my buddy just went 1.7's in his busa at kcir. A good s/c fox car has a decent chance imo.

My"decent" foxbody weighs 3000 lbs without me. Gotta remember to add lbs for a roll-cage, etc... 2000 lbs thats pretty funny, where did you come up with that Jesse?? Hell even gutted to the absolute max a friend of mines weighed 2700( not including driver) and that car is gutted, cut, holed, and everything in between. HP to weight ratio is important, but getting a car to equal the hp/weight ratio of a bike, and more importantly make it hook is a whole nother thing.

1.7 60', shit I can run a 1.7 on foot. I will show a 1.3 60' on a busa if you want trust me, 1.45s are very easy on a stock arm busa, 1.3s are nothing with a long W/B.

I try to be here early as possible, but because I am painting the place and getting things to look the best in here I might not be available some times, you can either call the shop 563-927-3320 or my cell 563-542-8180 if you want to make sure I am here. As for the big motor busa with spray, sounds like I would be shit out of luck in a race. Oh well I would still get a kick out of something passing a 1,350fwhp turbo ls1 on low boost lol I estimate 1400hp @ the wheels and 7.80 175mph at full boost. If the motor comes back from the engine dyno I will give you a pm, I think you will like to check that bad boy out, its equipped with one of my ls1 Gbody Outlaw Turbo Systems, a Bullseye power S595 turbo ,and a C&S blow thru carb. I will be doing the chassis work on the car this week or next. It is getting the full 25.2 specs with the stock suspension and only a true 10.5 tire, chromoly shipment is taking awhile and I am getting a little impatient.

But as I told Allgo, I will put togather some motor or buy one and race any of you, I am not a punk bitch who choose's his races. And if you wanna race a bike, I will race you for ANY amount you want. With this said, I will see you eventually, if you feel you have something to say about me or my so called past. PLEASE step-up and say it. As for the MSCA having the fastest cars. SO what your in Cedar Rapids dude, that like having the fastest shit in Tiffin, Iowa.

From an outsider's point of view, I don't see what's so special about driving your car to the track. If I had a truck and trailer (and a fast car) I would definitely trailer my car to the track. CFR is like 45 minutes from here, right?
Parts can break at any time. At least if you trailer the car to the track you know you'll get at least one run out of it.
I just know some of you guys have upwards of $40,000 in your cars. That's a lot of money to be cruising down the interstate on.

Well Allgo, I have been trying to get you big money ass to bet with me since I met you, once again you wessel out, But If you wanna do some betting I got $500.00 crisp bills sitting here that say the motor going into my car is a 357 cu in Iron head motor(pump gas) 10.to1 motor, It is a freshened up circle jerker motor, just to have fun with on pump gas. If your feeling froggy and wanna bet let me know. I bought nothing from Terry once again your info sucks as usuall. As for you GN and cobra, most of us on here dont have 3 cars to pick and choose from, I am calling you out with the Foxbody,(just curious who will make more passes before a clean one you or the wagon?) you claim if you want you can drive it there, You always say my shit is a Race car, well I am calling you on it. You see if you win in a race which you 100% should, I will have about $1800.00 in the motor, but if you loose you look like a fool. Ya see either way I win. :supz: Argue with Vic hes more your speed.

I think you all misunderstood my post there "Steve-o" Im not trying to talk up my car, I am making a point how retarded it is that you just wrote "MSCA" has the fastest street cars around here, how can you be preaching about street cars when you cant even drive the fucker.. and like I said I WILL drive my car to track make it or not, I didnt build a "40000" car to put on a trailer, I built a car to drive, thats too much damn money to put into something you gotta load on a trailer just to drive.. I will practice what I preach and if wanna make a deal out of it then just jump in your car and follow me up to track.. and yes it was a daily driver actually, half way through october and into november.. only stopped driving it to put it on the dyno..The only reason I havent driven THIS car to the track is because it never ran on pump gas before.. As far as respect goes, I respect your brother for making a very fast car, "not a street car by any means" but I still give loads of respect, but you sure do a good job of talking smack for him and lowering yourself AND HIM down.. I havent been preaching anything about my car but I DO KNOW everytime I hear the word street car come out of your mouth it makes me laugh inside

I could drive my 1300hp car to Chicago or even the cedar falls track from my shop, I know it would make it and on low boost would make 17mpg. but whats the point if something breaks I have no worries except trying to find some guys to push it up the trailer if a rear end takes a shit. When I drive to tristate I wont trailer it though. Shit when I was at sound performance Marko would trailer his White supra then be almost to a street race spot and pull it off the trailer. That cars was amazingly street drivable and it made over 1200hp on a mild tune and 1500 on a one time run on the shop dyno.

I am the farthest from the fastests not even in the top 10 with cars, but I will tell you Old dummy, when it cam to racing bikes I was #1 in my game, and still have been faster in the 1320 then any of you. Ya I know bikes dont count weel lets see you do it, any idiot can race a car.

Heres a thought, just for bragging rights, and to shut everyone up, how about 1 weekend everyone who claims to have a street car (MSCA). We all get togather and drive to TriState, race and back. There it is 1 weekend out of the whole summer, simple no more argueing. Those who dont show or make the trip, well shut the fuck up when it comes to the street car arguement, everyone says "well I could if I wanted" BLABLABLA, shoulda,woulda,coulda. There ya go Steve'O now tell me and everyone how stupid,moronic,idiotic,retarded this idea is. Lets see 4 1/2 months of racing 18-20+ weekends. I ask for 1day.

Zac.. is it a Ceiling fan, a can light, or a regular light fixture. Usuall those brackets are retractable so the fit through the holes, then expand in between the studs. Let me know.

right now its a regular light fixture, but he wants to put in a recessed light like this:
http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/662400/662400132097md.jpg
the light we bought has the things that pop out on the housing so it expands.. but he said the one thats in there now doesnt retract at all.
ZacFields
03-24-2007, 01:47 PM
Yeah whoever installed those suckers in the first place didn't want anyone to ever take them out. The brackets seem to actually be bolted to the studs.... like the damn light hanging from it is gigantic or something (though it's not).
The thing about it is that when they cut the holes in the ceiling for the fixture, you can tell they put the bracket in from the top because the hole is so small it's barely big enough for the actual fixture to come through. I'm gunna stop being a chicken and go up there though and see what I can find out.
It's just dark up there and I hate insulation.

That galvized, or Plastic box should be Nailed to a Rafter. Just like gang boxes are nailed to the wall studs. And to get to the nails you will have to go into the attic, because they drywall usually just has a hole cut in it just big enough for the box to fit through.

[quote="ZacFields";p="123332":2d48b]Yeah whoever installed those suckers in the first place didn't want anyone to ever take them out. The brackets seem to actually be bolted to the studs.... like the damn light hanging from it is gigantic or something (though it's not).
The thing about it is that when they cut the holes in the ceiling for the fixture, you can tell they put the bracket in from the top because the hole is so small it's barely big enough for the actual fixture to come through. I'm gunna stop being a chicken and go up there though and see what I can find out.
It's just dark up there and I hate insulation.

Sounds like a job for the tool man, Sorry just kidding. Sounds like a major project though

When my new house was built the electricans put in the wiring, hung the boxes first. Then sheetrock guys marked box locations and type. Then they cut out sheetrock nailed it down then later used a small hand router to cut out for boxes sorta like a rotazip. Then electricans came back and wired in switches lights recpt. You wanted a fan they put in a fan box. So ya probably be in attic, the wires might be in way. I knew of some guys using a sawzall just cut it out. Then they put in new slide braces etc. through hole. but the wires might be in way not recommended for a novice. why electricans might have burn marks on tools. Idiot marks we call them.

Most of the Remodel type can lights have that adjustable arms that span the width of yoru rafters, and then you just nail them in place. So even to install a can light your going to have to go into the attic and nail it to a rafter, might as well pull the old box out while your up there.

I was just mentioning how they do it orginally Ashley. Anything but a can light you wouldn't need to do all that. Any other options you like? Fan, other type that uses reg ceiling box? There is a reason they charge extra for a can light because it is more expensive and more work even when being built.

i wouldnt mind just having a regular light fixture there, zac is the one who wants one of those recessed lights. it's actually the light that's right inside our doorway, so a ceiling fan would be kind of silly there. the light fixture that is there now is just pretty old school so we want to replace it.

Well unfortunately I went and bought the can light before I really took a look at what I would need to do to install it.
Honestly in that area I would prefer something more like a track-lighting right there and in our hall way, which now that I know more about this would be a much better choice as far as installation goes.
I wanna really thank all you guys for having this discussion as it has given me a lot of different perspectives on how to get this done. I have ultimately come to the conclusion that I really just need to choose a different light.
Honestly I just thought a can light would be the easiest thing to install so that's why I chose it... we're really just looking to update these fixtures as the ones in there were installed when the house was built in 1979.

I would ask them to take it back and exchange for a reg ceiling box type light. There must be lots of new options without cutting sheetrock and climbing in attic. I suppose xeon strobes and black lights are out.

I know a little bit about home repair, I have been doing stuff to my house almost since I moved in, I only plan on being in this house for a few more years, I have put about 9K into it since i bought it two years ago, and it has increased in value by over 25K. I plan on building my next house on the family farm (just north of Iowa city) and so i helped my dad put a 1200 sq Ft addition on his house and i have managed to pick up a thing or two. Thats the short version. Vic if you need to know anything about CNC machining, Plastic injection molding, or pretty much anything about polymers I can help you out. (cause thats acutally what i do for a living)
