i just started a thread before about a race i had. it was closed because were not alloud to talk about drag racing apparently...??? i never said in the thread that it was on the street... i did that on purpose because everyone expects that its always on suburban roads.

so just asking, is anyone alloud to talk about drags? or are we only alloud to talk about hyperthetical drags like always goes on in this forum? always asking, "will i beat this car with these mods" and people reply yes or no but no one every finds out. even if those people have certain mods its up to the driver.

so to cut it short... are we aloud to talk about any type of drag that actual took place? maybe if i replaced me driver with a "mate" that was driving the thread wouldnt of closed. or we are all forbidden to talk about drags unless its "make believe"?

OORRRRR are we only alloud to compare 1/4 mile times and 60ft times on paper with other cars that proberly werent even there on the same night....

word to ya mother :D:spank::D:3some::angry:

If we didn’t get so many p plater tools coming on here saying omg bro I full chopped this sick wrx or what do I need to beat this LS1 as I got burnt by a couple a few nights ago on the streets, my pride has been hurt and I need to get it back pfft

There is an official drag area on these forums for a reason, if you bothered to search you would have found it. Having the odd squirt at the lights is all fun and good with no one else around but I hear quite often about some tool racing a wrx weaving through traffic at high speeds... I am just waiting for those people to appear on the news either in a hooning segment or a another skyline has crashed let’s ban everyone under 25 from driving them... */end rant*

If its not on a track we don't really wanna hear about it here. Its tools like you that give us all a bad name...

The forum has an intergrity to protect as well

I don't think theres any need for personal attacks... give him the benifit of the doubt first...

i think as long as your not coming across bragging about doing stupid things then you're generally ok... i didn't read your post... maybe pm the mods of the section that deleted it to ask them what they didn't like so you don't post like that again...

I dont mind people starting threads talking about drag racing thats in a controlled enviroment, its just street drag racing is what annoys me.

My hatred is fuelled further, when the thread starter, brags about how cool he is, because he beat a <Insert car here> at a set of traffic lights.

The secound rule about street racing is there is no such thing as street racing...

Anyhow... dude, your other thread comes across as street racing plain and simple.

If i was mod of this section, i would have locked it aswell.

And car "X" vs car "Y" threads arent tolerated here, and thats what the other thread is almost aswell.

wasent at a proper "paid" to get in drag strip, in my town we have a closed down small air strip that not many people know about, which is soon going to be ripped down and houses going up.

also i thought people wouldnt mind talking about drags or races because its a type of sport and a lust for power.

^^ that they take to officially controlled events..

Carefuly where you race, especailly when you are in the middle of nowhere.. If something happened - and it can.. you'd be in some serious shit.. and you wonder why people criticise your posts..

you say "I wasn't street racing" well - sorry.. not much difference between what you were doing and on the street racing..

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
