[nicknick]

well dean all i can say is ive ran a lot of cars in sydney(havnt lost yet) and you know this car personally, with the tuning and the c16 i hope its a rocket on the 1/4 stretch

hi nick,

well short of another gtr or a tt porsche nothing is going to beat u anyway.

post ur results when u run it.

ps that twin plate wont last long either if u plan on running your car regularly.

In the case of a car it is kinetic energy CONVERTED into heat.  

Little do you all realise my car has the "potential" energy to run a 10 ...somewhere down the path to kinetic energy my power gets lost :confused:

[nicknick]

like i said earlier i dont plan on racing it much at all, i just want my time and thats it.

[NRB]

Why have you said it's done a 10.4 on Cardomain?

[nicknick]

haha thats what i was told when i got the car 6 months ago, i found out differntly soon after.

[NRB]

Harry said that??

[vspecv]

i think not!

[NRB]

I wouldn't have thought so either!

[nicknick]

nah man i didnt say that harry sais so, harry is a top bloke man no disrespect to him, i was told by this performance place in sydney that it will run 10's. but we will find out its capabilities in the next couple of weeks

[NRB]

Good luck with it mate. It's always going to be a faster drag car than mine.

[BU5TER]

nicknick the offstreet drags are on next Wed the 11th at WSID or there's always drag combat on the 14th Feb, I can't wait to see the beast out there

[nicknick]

i know i think its on ever wednesday from 2pm. as soon as its tuned youll see it out there.

HO HO HO , did someone post that they are going to drive the car once just to get a 10 second time slip and then not bother again? HO HO HO

Firstly I hope the person has driven a 10 second car before, 'cause it ain't that easy. I reckon it will take quite a few stuffed launches until they get one right. Add that to the requirement for 3 perfectly timed and executed gearchanges on each run. I have seen novices try 20 runs over 4 weeks before they got one right. It gets harder the higher powered the car, the narrower the power band and the traction circle gets smaller between bog and wheelspin.

Secondly I don't know anybody that has done a 10 and then put it away, you always come back for more. Otherwise there is no blood in your veins.

Whats gunna happen then? Gunna race your mates on the streets? If you have a 10 second car then you should use it, otherwise you might as well not own it, it's wasted.

Now I think about it, your right. A mate has a 'AUTO' 10sec street XE falcon, & even he get's someone else to drag it. And he's built it all from scrath over the past 3years...hmmm is it really that hard???

Secondly I don't know anybody that has done a 10 and then put it away, you always come back for more.  Otherwise there is no blood in your veins.

He's also never ending in finding the next thing to perfect on the car. He's just upgraded his Garret 700hp, to some new Garret capable of 1000hp.

PS: He's the one that SWEARS by Water Injection into the manifold. So much so, he keeps it close to his bible..

[nicknick]

just quickly for sydneykid, once you ran a 10 dont the stretch you have to retire your car till you have full roll cage, cams licence and what not, like i said im gonna run it get my time slip and see how i go from their. just remember the more you race the more chances there are of something leting go..

[ausgtr]

Out of interest nicknick, what state do you reside in?

[DoughBoy]

Sorry, but this thread get's the unofficial "stupidest thread" for January. I've bitten my tongue for the past few pages but this last post takes the cake.

[nicknick]

hey doughboy if you dont like it why you here for, obviously we got your attention must mean your as stupid as us, so if you havnt got anything nice to say then just moove along and unsubscribe to the tread, casue it doesnt seem like you know much anout anything.

QUOTE=why would you think its people like me that casue police harrasment, for 1 you have no idea who i am, for 2 if you had a car with only little balls you might fo out with a few cars for a cruise and some racing, but obviously your some sour puss that ownes a gemini and likes to keep it as stock as possible, so please keep your mouth shut if you havnt got a comment about the bonnet please, your making yourself out to be something your not, other than a complete pansy..[/quote......

Moved here from the "question about carbon fibre bonnet" thread as this seems more appropiate thread.

nicknick: I think its people like you that cause police harrasment for all us import performance car drivers because....

You drive a VERY high profile Jap high performance car ( "10 seccond GTR") and you mention more than once that you enjoy street racing, you leave off your front plate because you are a street racer and you imply that you are not averse to trying to get away if cought by police.

These activities are are among those seen by the general public, police and state governments as "hooning" and the harrassment by police in all states of all young people driving modded import cars is a direct reaction to this. Rightly or wrongly we all get tarred with the same brush.

If you can't see this then I guess you are thicker than I allready assumed you were.

ps I haven't got a Gemini but do have a stock as a rock Camry, is this just as good??
